A Zionist among Palestinians offers the perspective of an
ordinary Israeli citizen who became concerned about the Israeli
military's treatment of Palestinians and was moved to work for
peace. Hillel Bardin, a confirmed Zionist, was a reservist in the
Israeli army during the first intifada when he met Palestinians
arrested by his unit. He learned that they supported peace with
Israel and the then-taboo proposal for a two-state solution, and
that they understood the intifada as a struggle to achieve these
goals. Bardin began to organize dialogues between Arabs and
Israelis in West Bank villages, towns, and refugee camps. In 1988,
he was jailed for meeting with Palestinians while on active duty in
Ramallah. Over the next two decades, he participated in a variety
of peace organizations and actions, from arranging for Israelis to
visit Palestinian communities and homes, to the joint jogging group
"Runners for Peace," to marches, political organizing, and
demonstrations supporting peace, security, and freedom. In this
very personal account, Bardin tries to come to grips with the
conflict in a way that takes account of both Israeli-Zionist and
Palestinian aims.
