From the review of One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse in Booklist:
“Abunimah’s approach, inspired by ongoing reconciliation processes in South Africa (and, to a lesser extent, Northern Ireland), is fresh, energetic, and ultimately optimistic that those tired of violence will eventually gravitate toward an inclusive, unified Israel.”

Ali Abunimah is a Palestinian-American who lives in Chicago. He is co-creator and editor of Electronic Intifada and Electronic Iraq. A graduate of Princeton University, he is a frequent speaker and commentator on the Middle East, and has written for the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times. He also directs research for the design of children’s services in the United States and Europe.

The Committee for a Just Peace in Israel and Palestine (CJPIP) is a community-based organization founded to develop and support activities that further the cause of peace and justice in Palestine/Israel. The 2006-07 Community Education and Dialog Series, running September 2006 through May 2007, will bring distinguished speakers and cultural events to Chicago-area audiences. See all planned events in this series. Series presenters will appear in Oak Park and elsewhere throughout the Chicago and suburban areas. Events are subject to change.
