Defending Hope is an inspiring collection of first-hand accounts by
Palestinians and Israelis who movingly describe how their lives
have been shaped by conflict and who are united by a common goal:
to bring about a just peace for the land they call home. Time and
again these human rights defenders choose love, non-violence and
human connection over division and fear. Their stories will
transport you to the olive groves near Bethlehem, the rubble of
Gaza and into the law courts in Jerusalem. This book offers a
hopeful counter-narrative in an otherwise bleak political landscape
and celebrates the indomitable power of the human spirit in the
midst of grave adversity. "These essays are voices of conscience
which remind us that, in spite of so much suffering, the darkness
is often pierced by the light of courageous Palestinian and Israeli
human rights defenders. We take hope when we hear the voices of
these extraordinary people." - Mairead Maguire, Nobel Peace
Laureate and co-founder of the Community of Peace People "This
inspirational work provides a much-needed reservoir of sanity,
humanity and positivity to counter the forces of oppression and
disrespect for the rule of law being displayed by major states on
the world stage." Michael Mansfield QC, human rights barrister and
member of the jury for the Russell Tribunal on Palestine and the
judicial panel for the People's Tribunal on Iran "If there is to be
peace in the Middle East it will be because human rights defenders
have found hope in the face of the great adversity they face in
their everyday work. This work gives us a glimpse of how that hope
can be unearthed in these challenging times." - Michel Forst,
United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders.
