Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Here, Christison brilliantly tests readers' prejudices and preconceptions regarding Palestinians, including Palestinian Americans, and their attitudes toward Israel. She shatters the common assumptions that Palestinians harbor an intrinsic hatred of Jews, that Palestinians want exclusive ownership of the land in the Middle East, that Palestinians are all alike, or even that Palestinians don't want to be Israelis. She brings to the front the rarely heard voices of intellectuals, businesspeople, and Palestinian Americans, who are largely underrepresented in the Palestinian conversation concerning Israel. Christison, a former CIA political analyst and author of Perceptions of Palestine: Their Influence on U.S. Middle East Policy, successfully shows that Palestinians are not all of one kind. She doesn't claim to provide an objective, scientific, or even representative voice but simply one that must be heard. Written in simple terminology for a wide audience, this book makes a great addition to public and academic libraries alike. Ethan Pullman, Univ. of Pittsburgh Lib.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Let freedom ring?
    Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2003
    The book discusses the Palestitian problem from a Palestinian point of view. Even discounting some of it as too anti-Israeli, there's no doubt that the Zionist movement and later Israel dispossessed the Palestinians of their land. Israel continues a policy of denying Palestitians basic freedoms. We go to war to bring freedom to the Iraqis, yet we support Israeli policies that retrict the freedom of the Palestinians. Is there no oil in the West Bank perhaps?

    1.0 out of 5 stars Unhelpful propaganda
    Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2004
    Christison is annoyed by those who think that Arab demands to acquire Israeli land are a swindle, based upon artificial claims of a specific Arab subnationalism that can be satisfied only by Jewish land. She argues, in effect, that people have a right to invent their own bogus histories and demand whatever they please. But she goes too far when she dismisses those who disagree with her as engaging in dangerous mythology "at their own peril."

    Christison has argued for years that the key to peace is for Israel to negotiate with Arafat. Well, Israel tried her recommendation. It didn't work. There is a connection between Christison's poor logic and her unreliable conclusions.
