Review: How a People become targets - I am a retired history teacher, and I have been studying the history of Palestine for a long time. I cannot abide any part of the concept that Palestinians do not exist. This particular book is really useful, as it goes through the history of the region, side by side. I have concluded that the likelihood of Palestinians surviving Netanyahoo's attempts to kill them all is beyond anything I can influence. If you care at all, please check out this book to at least read the CONSTANT Zionist efforts to destroy the Palestinians as not worthy of life on earth ...
Review: Eye-Opening and Balanced Look at the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict - I’ve been reading Side by Side and it’s truly an eye-opener. The book presents both the Israeli and Palestinian narratives with fairness and depth, without taking sides. It helped me understand the history and emotions behind the conflict in a very human and respectful way. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn about the region without bias.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Concept Bordering On Genius
*by K***M on January 17, 2015*

I love the way this book is constructed. The side by side narratives from both the Palestinians and the Jews is a brilliant concept. For me, the histories given are sometimes a bit shallow. There are errors of fact from both sides, but I guess that's to be expected. I do think this book is worth reading. I believe that few people are well versed in the history of this land and this book will definitely help with understanding some of the issues surrounding the conflict. For a significantly better history book, I would read "Righteous Victims" by Morris, but this book is a long and complicated read. Most people won't won't have the patience to sift through all 800 pages of this difficult history. "Side by Side" is a reasonable but far less in depth history book. I would love to see both Jewish and Palestine high school students using "Side by Side" as their text for the study of the conflict, but I doubt most teachers and schools would endorse such a program. Unfortunately, part of the problem with both Palestinians and Jews is their need to indoctrinate their youth with only their narrative. I once heard a Jewish Israeli "scholar" say that he didn't want Jewish kids going to the Hand In Hand School in Israel. This is a wonderful school that educates kids from kindergarten through 12th grade and has both Jewish and Arab teachers teaching the narrative of both sides. This "scholar" said that he might be okay with sending high school students there, but he certainly didn't want younger students participating in such a program. My interpretation: Let us indoctrinate our kids first, and then maybe we'll let them hear the other viewpoint. Oy vey.
