Healing Israel/Palestine is a unique kind of book–the first serious attempt to show that both sides have a legitimacy to their story, and both sides have helped create the current mess. Rabbi Lerner shows that there is a path to peace–and to reconciliation. It is the perfect manual for those who need to know how to answer the tough historical, philosophical, and political questions that emerge when you argue for peace and justice in the Middle East. It answers most of the questions of the partisans on both sides-and offers a "progressive middle path" committed to peace and justice for both peoples, unequivocally opposed to the war-makers and terrorists, and firmly rooted in the highest spiritual values of the human race. Lerner demonstrates that being visionary and rejecting "cynical realism" is the most practical global politics for the twenty-first century., ISBN13: 9780935933994 ISBN10: 0935933999 Material Type: paperback
