Embracing Israel/Palestine: A Strategy to Heal and Transform

Embracing Israel/Palestine: A Strategy to Heal and Transform the Middle East

A major modern conundrum is how the Arab/Israel conflict remains unresolved and, seemingly, unresolvable. In this inspirational book, Rabbi Michael Lerner suggests that a change in consciousness is crucial. With clarity and honesty, he examinesÂ how the mutual demonization and discounting of each sidesâ€™ legitimate needs drive the debate, and he points to new ways of thinking that can lead to a solution.

Lerner emphasizes that this new approach to the issue requires giving primacy to love, kindness, and generosity. It calls for challenging the master narratives in both Israel and Palestine as well as the false idea that â€œhomeland securityâ€ can be achieved through military, political, economic, or media domination. Lerner makes the case that a lasting peace must prioritize helping people on all sides (including Europe and the U.S.) and that real security is best achieved through an ethos of caring and generosity toward â€œthe other.â€ As many spiritual leaders have taught, problems like these cannot be solved at the same level at which they originatedâ€”one must seek higher ground, and that becomes a central task for anyone who wants a sustainable peace. Embracing Israel/Palestine is written for those looking for positive, practicalÂ solutions to this ongoing dilemma.
