Palestine Burning Regina Akel

PALESTINE BURNING is an analytical account of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, from its beginnings to the present time. The author appreciates the Jewish people and expresses his admiration at their contribution to the cultural development of the world, but he severely condemns Zionism. This powerful religious and political ideology followed by millions of Jews and Christians, together with the unconditional support of Israel by the United States, are the identified causes of the start and long duration of the conflict. The lack of union among the Palestinians, the deficiencies of the Palestine National Authority and the unacceptable objectives of Hamas, are also responsible for the absence of peace in the Holy Land. The present book is an accusation and a cry of pain at the sufferings of the Palestinian people and of countless Jews, as well as a peace proposal for both peoples. They have proved, through the centuries, that they can carry out a harmonious coexistence based on mutual esteem and respect.
