Extract

Many explanations have been proffered for why the Oslo peace process has unraveled into the latest violent phase of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. In this book, Marc Gopin suggests an explanation not often found in standard political analyses: the failure to cultivate peace among the Israeli and Palestinian masses. Gopin himself has long been involved in such grass-roots efforts, and accordingly Holy War, Holy Peace is part personal reflections of a peace activist and part manual on conflict resolution. Both parts illuminate and inform each other, making this work a more readable and more poignant study than most books on this subject.
