<p>“What singles this book out from all others about the conflict are two features: a sympathetic recognition of the traumas on both sides, but, more importantly, a deeper attempt to unravel and suggest ways to overcome the underlying and by-now self-perpetuating psychological forces that make peace today improbable. This is not a narrative that offers us a ready template for a “solution” in the classical sense: it is a call for what needs to be done to make what is now an improbable solution a possible one. For me, it was an eye-opener!”<br /><b>Sari Nusseibeh, President Emeritus, Al-Quds University</b><br /><br /><i>“Israelis and Palestinians</i> is a book about a land and its tormented politics, but it is first and foremost about people. Jonathan Glover's humanist perspective avoids the common pitfalls of assigning blame or proposing "out-of-the-box" solutions to the indefatigable conflict. His empathetic account of the social and psychological barriers to peace is indispensable for anyone interested in understanding the conflict, let alone solving it.”<br /><b>Assaf Sharon, Molad, The Center for the Renewal of Israeli Democracy<br /></b><br />“deeply relevant […] With insight and understanding, Glover merges philosophy with psychology, arguing that atrocities are committed because of deeply embedded human tendencies.”<br /><b>Gabrielle Rifkind,</b><i><b> The Guardian<br /></b></i><br />“Glover’s stature as a moral philosopher affords a unique and valuable perspective.”<br /><b><i>The Critic<br /></i></b><br />“This deeply pondered reflection on one of the most intractable of contemporary conflicts by a distinguished moral philosopher could not be more timely […] its distilled wisdom will remain a rich resource for a new generation of peacemakers.” <br /><b><i>Church Times<br /><b><br /></b></i></b>“passionately humane” <br /><b><i><b><i>Sydney Morning Herald </i></b><br /></i></b></p>
