- Apeirogon : a novel / by McCann, Colum,1965-author.;
"Bassam Aramin is Palestinian. Rami Elhanan is Israeli. They inhabit a world of intractable conflict that colors every aspect of their daily lives, from the roads they are allowed to take to the schools their daughters, Abir and Smadar, each attend. Theirs is a life in which children from both sides of the wall throw stones at one another. But their worlds shift irreparably when ten-year-old old Abir is killed by a rubber bullet meant to quell unruly crowds, and again when thirteen-year-old Smadar becomes the victim of suicide bombers. When Bassam and Rami learn one another's stories and the loss that connects them, they become part of a much larger tale that ranges over centuries and continents. Apeirogon is a novel that balances on the knife edge of fiction and nonfiction. Bassam and Rami are real men and their actual words are a part of this narrative, one that builds through thousands of moments and images into one grand, unforgettable crescendo"--- Subjects: Political fiction.; Jewish-Arab relations; Palestinian Arabs; Israelis;

- Enemies and neighbors : Arabs and Jews in Palestine and Israel, 1917-2017 / by Black, Ian,1953-;
Includes bibliographical references, Internet addresses and index.Enemies and Neighbors is a big, textured, and, crucially, balanced account of over 100 years of the Israel-Palestine conflict, published on the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration (the famous pledge made by the British government on Nov. 2, 1917 expressing sympathy for a national Jewish home in Palestine). 2017 also marks the 50th anniversary of the Six-Day War in June 1967, during which Israel seized its current borders. Much of the existing literature on the Israel-Palestine conflict focuses on the era post-Israeli independence (starting in 1948), has a clear bias, and/or comes at the subject from an academic angle. This is a major, engagingly written trade history covering the entire arc of the conflict up to the present, and Black has done an extraordinary job of telling it from both sides.LSC- Subjects: Jewish-Arab relations; Arab-Israeli conflict.; Palestinian Arabs;

- What does Israel fear from Palestine? / by Shehadeh, Raja,1951-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Since the formation of the state of Israel in 1948, the Nakba, or disaster as the Palestinians call it, there have been many opportunities to move towards peace and equality between Palestine and Israel. After the 1967 War, the Oslo Agreement and even the 7 October 2023 war. All of them have been rejected by Israel which is why life is unbearable in the West Bank now and there is genocide in Gaza. This book explores what went wrong again and again, and why. And how it could still be different. It is human nature to feel prejudice. But in this haunting meditation on Palestine and Israel, Shehadeh suggests that this does not mean the two nations cannot live together to their mutual benefit and co-existence. In graceful, devastatingly observed prose, this is a fresh reflection on the conflict in a time of great need"--- Subjects: Essays.; Arab-Israeli conflict; Jewish-Arab relations.; Palestinian Nakba, 1947-1948.; Terrorism; Terrorism; Zionism;
