About this product

Product Information

A powerful account, by Israeli peace activist Miko Peled, of his transformation from a young man who'd grown up in the heart of Israel's elite and served proudly in its military into a fearless advocate of nonviolent struggle and equal rights for all Palestinians and Israelis. His journey is mirrored in many ways the transformation his father, a much-decorated Israeli general, had undergone three decades earlier. Alice Walker contributed a foreword to the first edition in which she wrote, There are few books on the Israel/Palestine issue that seem as hopeful to me as this one. In the new Epilogue he takes readers to South Africa, East Asia, several European countries, and the West Bank, Gaza, and Israel itself.

A fascinating and truthful story of discovery
The author's father was Matti Peled, a Zionist and a senior Israeli general in the Six Day War of 1967. After Israel's military victory, he argued that it should offer the Palestinians a state of their own because holding on to the West Bank and the people who lived in it was a mistake. Popular resistance to occupation would arise and Israel's army would be used to quell that resistance, turning the Jewish state into an increasingly brutal occupying power and eventually into a bi-national state. He later became a Professor of Arabic, an Israeli MP and a peace activist, who was increasingly critical of Israeli policies. He rejected the double standard that Jewish people deserve to live on the same land as Palestinians, yet deprive them of their rights. His son, Miko, gradually developed similar views to his father, but at school was decried as an "Arab-lover". Drafted into an army special forces unit, he was told to walk up and down the streets in Ramallah and to "break every bone in the body" of anyone who looked at them. Years later he learned that people under military occupation have the legal right to engage in armed resistance. Miko came to recognise that his father had played a major role in establishing a colonialist enterprise in Palestine through violence and then strove to maintain it through compromise with its victims, the Palestinians. "So it strikes me as ironic: the people my father wished to save, the Israelis to whom he dedicated his life, despised him; and the Palestinians, whom he fought to dispossess though he later thought it prudent to allow them limited rights, hail him as a hero."Read full review

A brave man's voyage through life
This is a riveting story of a member of a staunch Zionist Fami9ly, who discovers the illegality and cruelty of the Israeli Occupation, and has the courage to speak out against it.
