Our roots are still alive

the long version

Our Roots Are Still Alive cuts through the barrage of myths and distortions that make peace in the Middle East appear impossible. It is a lively and eye-opening account of the Palestinians' long fight for freedom in their homeland. In a lucid and readable style, this book answers the crucial questions: Who are the Palestinians? What are their goals? Why does Israel refuse to negotiate with the PLO? What would a just settlement in the area be? Our Roots Are Still Alive includes maps and many original illustrations, poems and photographs that capture the strength and endurance of the Palestinian people.
