This story is very one sided. The Palestinians (Arabs) are innocent of a take-over, by the Israelis (Jews) of a country where until after WWII they lived together peacefully. Because of the one-sidedness, I lean toward a lower rating, except the fact that the author is Jewish. For this reason, the story is chilling, with insights that we certainly do not see in the news. Corasanti believes that the hopeless state of young Arab men lead them to violence. Am I alone in wondering if the Arab countries believe that our re-building "help" is actually occupying their country and creating the same issues? Book received in goodreads.com contest.
