Description: This book poses questions about the history, meaning, future, and resolution of the Israel/Palestine conflict. Deeply informed by political philosophy and based on decades of personal involvement with politics and social activism, the author's moderate voice--global in its outlook, yet truly grounded in his native city of Jerusalem--points us toward a future which is colonized by our acts in this moment, but which must always remain open -- from book jacket.
