Rabbi Michael Lerner shows how it is possible to be both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine, to recognize that both people's best chance for lasting security lies in a new spirit of generosity, open-hearted reconciliation, a genuine commitment to non-violence, and in finding a path toward peace even when the forces of violence in the United States, Israel, and Palestine have temporarily taken ascendancy. Healing Israel/Palestine will give you all the information you need to become an activist for peace. It is the perfect manual for those who need to know how to answer the tough historical, philosophical, and political questions that emerge when you argue for peace and justice in the Middle East. It answers most of the questions of the partisans on both sides—and offers a "progressive middle path" committed to peace and justice for both peoples, unequivocally opposed to the war makers and terrorists, and firmly rooted in the highest spiritual values of the human race. Lerner demonstrates that being visionary and rejecting "cynical realism" is the most practical global politics for the twenty-first century.
