"A Book with a citical edge... that must be heeded."
Mark Braverman shows how the Jewish quest for safety and empowerment and the Christian effort to atone for centuries of anti-Semitism have combined to suppress the conversations urgently needed to bring about peace. Braverman delivers a message to Jews and Christians alike: it is not anti-Semitic to stand up for justice for the Palestinian people. Vividly describing the spiritual and psychological forces driving the debate on Israel/Palestine, Braverman turns to the prophets' cry for justice and Jesus's transformative ministry to show the way forward. Fatal Embrace offers a provocative and unique perspective on one of the most controversial issues of our time.
