Anna Baltzer, a young Jewish American, went to the West Bank to
discover the realities of daily life for Palestinians under the
occupation. What she found would change her outlook on the conflict
forever. She wrote this book to give voice to the stories of the
people who welcomed her with open arms as their lives crumbled
around them. For five months, Baltzer lived and worked with
farmers, Palestinian and Israeli activists, and the families of
political prisoners, traveling with them across endless checkpoints
and roadblocks to reach hospitals, universities, and olive groves.
Baltzer witnessed firsthand the environmental devastation brought
on by expanding settlements and outposts and the destruction
wrought by Israel's "Security Fence," which separates many families
from each other, their communities, their land, and basic human
services. What emerges from Baltzer's journal is not a
sensationalist tale of suicide bombers and conspiracies, but a
compelling and inspiring description of the trials of daily life
under the occupation.
