A new book by Naim Ateek
A Palestinian Christian Cry for Reconciliation is an analysis of the conflict over land between Palestine and Israel by a Palestinian Christian Arab who is also a citizen of Israel. The first part of this sequel to Justice and Only Justice focuses on events since the Intifada of 1987, including the violence that has come from Israel's aggression and from the use of suicide bombers by Palestinians. The second part of the book draws on scripture, lifting up biblical figures such as Samson, Jonah, Daniel, and Jesus as it examines issues of ownership of the land. In the final section, Ateek presents a strategy to achieve peace and justice nonviolently that will promote justice for the Palestinians and security for both Israel and Palestine.
