Book Reviews of From Beirut to Jerusalem

Book Review: Good Insight and analyses of 2 burning hotspots....
Summary: 4 Stars

Quite interesting to note was that most politicians in Israel are unable to provide one sound reason for following the policies of Palestinian subjugation. Most of them seem to be biding for time, hoping that the something dramatic would happen in the future which would quietly subside the Palestinian demand for a homeland. No political party knows for sure the advantages of forced Israeli settlement in the the Palestinian territories captured in 1967. No political party dares to clearly state what outcome would satisfy them enough to co-exist with the Palestinians.

The only reason for giving this 4-stars is because the analyses of Beirut/ Lebanon leaves a lot desired. Friedman doesn't even take a jab at suggesting what could be done to stop the civil war. Instead it seems to be more a commentary on the daily lives of the Lebanese as they cope with and become immune to the everyday acts of terror.
