Summary of Yossi Klein Halevi's Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I live on the other side of a concrete wall that cuts through the landscape we share. I can just barely see the checkpoint you must cross to enter Jerusalem, but I sense the checkpoint’s all-pervading presence.

#2 I wanted to see if Jews and Muslims could share something of God’s presence, and be religious people together in this place where God’s name is so often invoked to justify abomination.

#3 I tried to step out of my own narrative and explore Palestinian historical attachments and the wrongs done against me and my people. I had to confront my own historical perceptions and the reality of the other side.

#4 Many Israelis have come to accept the legitimacy of your people’s right to national self-determination. But many Israelis continued to insist that all justice belonged to our side, and that you had no real historical case. But it was then that a significant number of Israelis began to feel differently.
