What is Palestine-Israel?

The combined name Palestine-Israel only hints at the deep fissures dividing this land. An introductory book like this one can only offer a brief glimpse of such a complex conflict. Mennonites in Canada and the United States regularly ask Mennonite workers in Palestine-Israel about the complexities of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Sonia K. Weaver presents some of the questions Mennonite workers in Palestine regularly receive from supporters in Canada, the United States, and beyond, along with straightforward answers. While the book grew out of the experience of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), a relief, development, and peacebuilding agency of Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches, it also pays attention to the work of other Mennonite mission and peacebuilding agencies in the country.

This booklet is organized by theme, but all of the areas are inter-related. Includes a listing of additional resources for further study.
