A Doctor in Galilee:
Here’s our friend!
A Doctor in Galilee:
The Life and Struggle of a Palestinian in Israel
By Hatim Kanaaneh Foreword by Jonathan Cook Published by Pluto Press in Britain and the United States in July 2008
Advance praise:
“A moving account of the plight of the Palestinians by one of them: a physician struggling to alleviate his people's lot.” Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus
“Hatim Kanaaneh sheds a unique light on the lives of the over one million Palestinians who hold Israeli citizenship in a beautifully readable and engrossing memoir of his years as a village doctor in the Galilee. His account of the rank racial discrimination, difficult social circumstances and pervasive poverty of most Palestinians in the Jewish state is leavened by Kanaaneh's humour and his eye for striking detail. This is a truly touching book that is hard to put down.” Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University
“Our libraries are full with historical and political analyses of the Palestine question, but we still have very few personal diaries and journals that help to humanize the complex reality of the torn land. This personal account is a unique and vital contribution to this genre. The book blends the personal with the political, the past with the present and the emotional commitment with the rational analysis. It is a fascinating first hand account from the perspective of a Palestinian who defeats the imposed partition of the land and the fragmentation of its people: he belongs to Palestine on both sides of the Green line and is both a native of the land and a refugee in it.” Ilan Pappe, Professor of History at Exeter University
“Scarcely any personal narratives of the lives of Israel's Arab minority exist. Kannaneh's fascinating exposure of this little-known subject is written with passion and authority. Essential reading for students of the Israel-Palestine conflict.” Dr Ghada Karmi
From the back cover:
Hatim Kanaaneh is a Palestinian doctor who has struggled for over 35 years to bring medical care to Palestinians in Galilee, against a culture of anti-Arab discrimination. This is the story of how he fought for the human rights of his patients and overcame the Israeli authorities' cruel indifference to their suffering.
Kanaaneh is a native of Galilee, born before the creation of Israel. He left to study medicine at Harvard, before returning to work as a public health physician with the intention of helping his own people. He discovered a shocking level of disease and malnutrition in his community and a shameful lack of support from the Israeli authorities. After doing all he could for his patients by working from inside the system, Kanaaneh set up The Galilee Society, an NGO working for equitable health, environmental and socio-economic conditions for Palestinian Arabs in Israel.
This is a brilliant memoir that shows how grass roots organisations can loosen the Zionist grip upon Palestinian lives.

Literature and War
Literature and War
Conversations with Israeli and Palestinian Writers
Runo Isaksen, translated by Kari Dickson
6” x 9” • 256 pages
ISBN 9781566567305 • paperback • $18.00
"The first step toward real peace must be to get to know the other side, its culture and creativity." -Mahmoud Darwish, Palestinian poet
Journalist Runo Isakson, confronting the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, found himself wondering: How can literature play a role in helping the one side to see the other? To answer this question, he interviewed fifteen pre-eminent Israeli and Palestinian writers, asking them what role literature may play in creating dialogue, ending war, building peace. The conversations that result are both deeply personal and deeply political, both reflective and urgent; they both complicate and clarify our understanding of the Israeli°©-Palestinian conflict.
The collection includes interviews with acclaimed Israeli writers David Grossman and Amos Oz ("In a conflict, few people are capable of imagining other people's suffering"). Palestinian novelist Sahar Khalifeh discusses feminism, literature, and occupation. Poet Mahmoud Darwish and novelist Izzat Ghazzawi appear together, discussing how "knowledge about the other is an obligation." These dialogues transcend national boundaries and the narrow language of conflict and invite readers around the world to take a first step toward peace.
Authors interviewed include:
Etgar Keret • David Grossman • Yoram Kaniuk • Amos Oz • Meir Shalev • Orly Castel-Bloom • Dorit Rabinyan • Mahmoud Shuqair • Ghassan Zaqtan • Liana Badr • Zakariyya Muhammad • Yahya Yakhlif • Sahar Khalifeh • Mahmoud Darwish • Izzat Ghazzawi • Salman Natour •
Runo Isaksen is a Norwegian novelist.

Israeli fiction
The good soldier
Apr 10th 2008
From The Economist print edition
THERE is a myth that once upon a time no Israelis had moral qualms. Only after years of occupying the Palestinians, and after the series of books by revisionist Israeli historians that began appearing in the late 1980s, did Jewish Israelis start opening their eyes to the destruction that they themselves visited on another people in their attempt to create a refuge from the vast evil done to them. It is astonishing, therefore, to read the novella "Khirbet Khizeh", just issued in English by Ibis Editions, a tiny non-profit house in Jerusalem dedicated to the translation of obscure gems.
First published in 1949, a year after the declaration of independence and 57 years before the publication of "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" by Ilan Pappé, perhaps the most controversial of Israel's historians, "Khirbet Khizeh" describes in detail one such act of ethnic cleansing. It is based on the experiences of its author, S. Yizhar (pen-name of Yizhar Smilansky), who was an intelligence officer in the newborn state's army. Blowing a further hole in the myth is the news, learnt from the helpful afterword by David Shulman, a peace activist, that the book has long been an optional text in the official Israeli school curriculum.
In the story, a squad is detailed to clear a Palestinian village that has remained on the Israeli side of the 1949 ceasefire line and pack its residents off in trucks with only the clothes on their backs (Benny Morris, an Israeli historian, has calculated that of 369 Palestinian towns and villages in what became Israel, at least 41 were forcibly evacuated, and in at least 228 the residents fled under attack by Zionist forces). When the narrator, his mind ringing with thoughts of how Jews were exiled by their persecutors, blurts out a protest, one of his comrades retorts: "Are we killing them? We're taking them to their side. Let them sit there and wait. It's very decent of us. There's no other place in the world where they'd have been treated as well as this."
That quotation sums up why, despite being a school text, and despite the historians' efforts, "Khirbet Khizeh" is not central to the national consciousness. The whatever-we-did-we-suffered-worse rationale has allowed most Jewish Israelis to draw a veil over the sins of the state's early years, even as their misgivings about the post-1967 occupation of the West Bank and Gaza have grown.
To those misgivings, however, they have recently added doubts over their capacity to defeat their enemies. This insecure Israel is the one on display in Ron Leshem's "Beaufort". As told by a young officer left in charge of an outpost in the last months of Israel's 18-year occupation of south Lebanon, which ended in 2000, it skilfully sketches the alternating terror and tedium of war as well as the soldiers' sense of being pawns in a game long since lost. It and the film made from it (which was shortlisted for an Oscar this year) struck a deep chord with Israelis reeling from the fiasco of their second war against Lebanon's Hizbullah militia in 2006.
While it may be too much to extrapolate the evolution of a national mood from two localised snapshots, both books are fascinating windows into the feelings and consciousness of front-line Israeli soldiers in their respective epochs-albeit in quite distinct styles. Mr Leshem's "Beaufort" is a harsh stream of consciousness, flecked with telling asides on military slang and habits. Yizhar, on the other hand, whom Mr Shulman calls "the greatest poet of the Palestinian landscape in modern Hebrew", uses a lyrical prose (dripping, says Mr Shulman, with sadly untranslatable biblical references) to paint that landscape as a bucolic backdrop to the narrator's gradual progress from laconic detachment to horrified awareness.
The pages of "Beaufort" trace a similar evolution. But while Yizhar's dawning horror is at what he and his fellows are doing to another people, Mr Leshem's is at what Israel is doing to itself. Appropriately, Israel's eternal Other, the Arabs, are different too: in 1949, helpless, pathetic and incomprehensible victims; in 2000, a sophisticated and threatening but equally incomprehensible nemesis.

FROM THE CORRIES:
Friends,
I am thrilled to announce the release of my daughter Rachel's writings in the new book Let Me Stand Alone - The Journals of Rachel Corrie, published by W.W. Norton & Co. and available in bookstores and online! I am also excited to invite you to attend a series of book launch events across the country that Craig and I will be participating in during the month of April. We hope that you and your friends will join us to celebrate Rachel's book at one of these events and that you will use the attached flyer to help us spread the word about each one.
We are particularly excited that the first book event, on Saturday, April 5th in Berkeley, California, will be filmed by C-SPAN for later broadcast on the program "Book TV". This is a wonderful way to launch Rachel's book and the book tour. We want to make sure the audience is filled for C-SPAN so if you are in the Bay Area, please join us that evening and bring your friends! The event is sponsored by KPFA Radio Station and additional information and advanced ticket sales can be found at their website http://kpfa.org/events/index.php?#1584 More detailed information about all the events is listed below and on the attached flyer.
Working on the book was an alternately exhilarating and challenging process. We agonized over every editing decision--which pieces would Rachel have included? Which would she have wanted to work on further? However, we knew how much Rachel wanted her writing to have a wider impact and we still believe deeply that the questions she pondered and the realities she witnessed are universally important to confront. It is a true milestone for our family, and for Rachel, that her words in this book reach the world.
More information about Let Me Stand Alone, including how to purchase it, can be found at www.letmestandalone.com <http://www.letmestandalone.com/> If we are not scheduled to be in your area during the April book tour, but you would like to organize a future reading, you can contact us through this website as well.
As Craig wrote in the introduction to the book: Words were sacred to Rachel, and her words have become treasures to us. They are what we have left and are an immense gift to our family. With this book, we offer that gift to you.
We look forward to seeing you in Berkeley, Seattle, Olympia, Portland, DC, New York, Iowa City or Minneapolis! Please do help us spread the word.
Thank you!
Cindy Corrie
