Comments on: My Promised Land by Ari Shavit…a book review by Alan Gold https://www.jwire.com.au/my-promised-land-by-ari-shavit-a-book-review-by-alan-gold/ Australia, NZ and worldwide Jewish news that matters Thu, 27 Feb 2014 05:05:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Marguerite Laurence https://www.jwire.com.au/my-promised-land-by-ari-shavit-a-book-review-by-alan-gold/#comment-63901 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 05:05:44 +0000 http://www.jwire.com.au/?p=40434#comment-63901 I’m in the middle of reading My Promised Land, and am finding it absorbing and fascinating and moving. A probably one-eyed supporter of Israel I’ve never until now let myself read a history of the country that tells everybody’s story, in case I hear something I don’t want to know … but My Promised Land is so sober and calm and honest and intelligent it never raises my hackles.

This is a brilliant review, which I will send to people who are bewildered about the (in my view incomprehensible) polarised response to My Promised Land. It will encourage people to read the book and that can only be a good thing.

Thank you Alan Gold.

Thanks, Alan Gold.
