Against a backdrop of increasing violence on both sides, the book presents a broad range of dissenting voices that articulate practical, legal, and moral objections to the occupation. Written from within the throes of the unfolding tragedy, it includes contributions from journalists, novelists, activists, military reservists, and former government officials. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the topics covered are dissent within the Israeli armed forces, the brutality of recent Israeli military interventions, the inaccurate claims concerning Ehud Barak's \"generous offer\" to the Palestinians at Camp David, the shortcomings of the Israeli media in reporting the war accurately, the moral decline of Israel in its role as an occu-pying power, and the failure of Ariel Sharon to bring about either peace or security for Israeli citizens. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Other Israel\u003c\/i\u003e questions what it means, here in America, to stand in solidarity with Israel: Are Israel's true supporters those who urge occupation and reprisal, or those calling for reconciliation and a just settlement? Needed now more than ever, this book challenges narrow American perceptions of public opinion in Israel, and will act as a catalyst in prompting vital debate about the future of Israel and the path to peace for all citizens of the Middle East. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors include: David Grossman • Amira Hass • Avi Shlaim • Ilan Pappe • Gideon Levy • Meron Benvenisti • NeveGordon • Shulamit Aloni • Baruch Kimmerling • Ami Ayalon • Ze'ev Sternhell Gila Svirsky • Uri Avnery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography: \u003ci\u003eAnthony Lewis\u003c\/i\u003e is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner.
