About the Book

Elegant insider's account of Israeli history and politics Discusses what it's like to live in the middle of the ongoing conflict Beautifully written and already a bestseller in France (10,000 copies sold) Author is a prominent Jewish peace activist and leading French intellectual "This book is not a work by an historian or a study of the Israeli-Arab conflict. Neither is it an autobiography. It is the story of a fascinating and impassioned experience on the border separating States, communities and realities that make up the trauma called the "Palestinian problem." This is not the story of a detached observer, claiming objectivity, but rather of an actor, a committed citizen, a militant of the border. While it is factually authentic, it is solely an expression of a personal and subjective view; as such this story is mine and about me." So begins this book. Born into a religious family in Strasberg, Michel Warschawski left for Israel at the age of sixteen to go into Jewish religious orders, and became one of the most well-known figures on the radical Israeli Left. Condemned to twenty months in prison for involvement with illegal Palestinian organisations, his story is one of exceptional and passionate involvement in the politics of the region. In touch with the Jewish diaspora, and inspired by a socialism without borders, the book mixes sharp analysis of the ongoing conflict with deep personal insight into the events of the last three decades. Warschawski explains his moments of despair, his love for Jerusalem, his indignation, his struggles and his hope for the future - that one day the borders, the walls, the checkpoints and the hatred will be brought to an end.
