Zionism, Israel and the Arabs: Notes on the Historical Background of the Middle East Tragedy
Reviewed by Matthew Quest   

A collection of precious articles written between 1948 and 1967 from long out of print magazines such as Labor Action, New International, and the first series of New Politics, Hal Draper's Zionism, Israel and the Arabs offers an "independent socialist" perspective. Loyal not to Stalinism, social democracy, or any existing state and ruling class, he broadcasts many admirable and still contemporary stances on questions facing the Palestine solidarity movement.

Three Mothers, Three Daughters: Palestinian Women's Stories
Reviewed by Veronica Ouma   

For those out there who think most Palestinians are terrorists, then this book is a must read. For those who believe Palestinian women are oppressed because they wear hijabs, then I encourage you to read these insightful pages. As the name suggest, this text chronicles the lives of three mothers and three daughters, one pair from East Jerusalem, one pair from a refugee camp in the West Bank near Bethlehem, and another from an Arab village within the state of Israel. Their actual names are not used for their protection. All of these women have different personalities that allow for an interesting read, from free spirits to religious conservatives.
