 1 2351\n\nAbout the Book\nNew York Times bestseller\n\n"A profound and ori
 ginal book\, the work of a gifted thinker."--Daphne Merkin\, The Wall Stre
 et Journal\n\nAttempting to break the agonizing impasse between Israelis a
 nd Palestinians\, the Israeli commentator and award-winning author of Like
  Dreamers directly addresses his Palestinian neighbors in this taut and pr
 ovocative book\, empathizing with Palestinian suffering and longing for re
 conciliation as he explores how the conflict looks through Israeli eyes.\n
 \nLetters to My Palestinian Neighbor is one Israeli’s powerful attempt t
 o reach beyond the wall that separates Israelis and Palestinians and into 
 the hearts of "the enemy." In a series of letters\, Yossi Klein Halevi exp
 lains what motivated him to leave his native New York in his twenties and 
 move to Israel to participate in the drama of the renewal of a Jewish home
 land\, which he is committed to see succeed as a morally responsible\, dem
 ocratic state in the Middle East.\n\nThis is the first attempt by an Israe
 li author to directly address his Palestinian neighbors and describe how t
 he conflict appears through Israeli eyes. Halevi untangles the ideological
  and emotional knot that has defined the conflict for nearly a century. In
  lyrical\, evocative language\, he unravels the complex strands of faith\,
  pride\, anger and anguish he feels as a Jew living in Israel\, using hist
 ory and personal experience as his guide.\n\nHalevi’s letters speak not 
 only to his Palestinian neighbor\, but to all concerned global citizens\, 
 helping us understand the painful choices confronting Israelis and Palesti
 nians that will ultimately help determine the fate of the region.
