Must read for all americans

A must read book for this excellent new author. Totally an eye opener on how people in other countries live in fear every day of their lives and this war has been going on for years. Myself being naive about how palestinians are treated and how their lives are so different from our own secure world. Americans are so engrossed in their busy lives and we hear very little of what goes on there. The author totally cares about these people and is so compassionate interviewing them. I highly recommend this book.

Bravo, Cathy Sultan

Cathy Sultan's book is a must-read. Most Americans don't have the opportunity of knowing what is happening to Palestinians in Israel. We mainly hear what our government wants us to hear, about suicide bombers, not about the millions of innocent Palestinians who are living (and dying) in extremely oppressive circumstances. They too want peace. Cathy Sultan provides a well written and well documented glimpse into the pain, humiliation and struggles that Palestinians face on a daily basis. She interviews both Israelis and Palestinians, asks tough and probing questions, and gives us a very readable, informative, and engrossing book. I highly recommend it.

Israeli and Palestinian Voices: A Dialogue with Both Sides

An absolute must read!!! Cathy Sultan recalls the painful past of the Middle East through very specific research. She experienced first-hand the present daily struggles of its people and documented them through her travels there. She invites you to help visualize a peaceful and vibrant life for those who have little voice in government.A definite must have!!!

Israeli and Palestinian Voices: A dialogue with both sides

After reading Cathy Sultan's book, one certainly appreciates the freedom that we so easily take for granted here in the United States. Her book was clearly written and very educational. I'm going to recommend my high school age children read it. The people she interviewed were presented in a caring and compassionate manner. The men, women and students interviewed in "Israeli and Palestinian Voices" were diverse and yet ordinary people. After reading this book, I have a far better understanding and appreciation for the issues facing the people in that region of the world.

A writer who cares about educating Americans about Mid. East

Cathy's book is easily readable, instructional, and full of helpful information to help anyone, even someone totally ignorant of the Middle East power struggles, to come to their own conclusions about what these governments and their policies are doing to people like you and me - "the regular guys". This is written in such a way that anyone can understand what the Israeli and Palestinian people face on a day to day basis. This book would be an excellent tool for any course in Middle East studies, book groups, church discussions and anyone wanting to bring themselves "up to speed" on the ever evolving Middle East peace process.I finally understand why it is not "so easy" to "just do it". Although compromise must be part of the answer, this book helps us understand why the answers are not so easy. Take a few hours and educate yourself - and you'll be entertained in the process.
