Summary: A Great Beginning
Review: If you want the truth, the struggle, the passion seen from both sides, begin here. Including are beautiful, intense posters, poetry, and more from Palestinian and Israeli artists. But this book goes beyond images and words, it goes into the hearts of the Palestinians and Israelis who want peace: a peace that can only be obtained by listening to the PEOPLE, setting disruptive, invasive, militaristic politics aside.

Summary: Gives voice to unheard views
Review: This book shows work up to 1996, so it does not contain any events from the past five years, or deal with the daily violence that we see on the news today. However, it does show that the violence is nothing new, and is not exclusive to the "Arab terrorists." The main focus of the book are how both sides view peace, showing the suffering on both sides. A point of view which never gets aired in the US media is represented by Israeli artists who openly acknowledge the brutality their government has forced upon the Palestinians. The book shows posters that foster peace between the two people, and were banned by the Israeli government. Anyone who has any real understanding of this troubled region knows that true peace can only exist between equals, and that despite all the name calling, both the Palestinians and the Jews have a right to live with dignity. From a graphic point of view, much of the posters from Israel maintain a more familiar Western commercial look, while many of the Palestinian works resemble the grafitti that covers the refugee camps.
