Israel-Palestine in a Nutshell

by Amanda Roraback

Book Two histories, two faiths, two points of view, all in one "flip-book." Read "Israel in a Nutshell" to follow the development of Israel from God's promise to Abraham and the "chosen people" to the 20th century peace treaties. Flip the book over to read the other side of the story. From the arrival of the Ancient Philistines in the land of Canaan to the construction of the controversial 21st century separation wall, "Palestine in a Nutshell" traces the region's history and politics through the perspective of Muslim Arabs. Through short, easy-to-read chapters, you will find everything you need to know about the PLO, Zionism, the intifada, anti-Semitism, the refugee crisis and more in order to form your own informed opinion about the Arab-Israeli conflict.

I need to re-read this soon. This is one of those things that mind-boggles me...why do these 2 groups of people fight? I am reluctant to call them countries because they really are not. But it's well written, you must take your time, but it is easy to go back and find specific spots to re-read, etc.

useful for teaching advanced high school students about Israel-Palestine. no beach read, but clearly written and as balanced as possible
