September Liberal Book Club Meetup

Our subject is the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and most people preferred Sept 6 to Aug 30. So Sept 6 it is, at Monica’s for the moment. I picked two books, of which you need read only one. Both are what you might call "middle of the road progressive" points of view on the conflict, not harshly anti-Israel or slavishly supportive.

1. My Promised Land, by Ari Shavit; 2013, 460pp Paper: http://www.amazon.com/My-Promised-Land-Triumph-Tragedy/dp/0385521715/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=1-1&qid=1406085608

2. The Crisis of Zionism, by Peter Beinert; 2013 320pp paper. http://www.amazon.com/Crisis-Zionism-Peter-Beinart/dp/1250026733/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1406085695&sr=1-1&keywords=israel+beinart

The San Diego City library has 4 copies of the first book and 2 of the second. Most members, I think, use the library or buy them on Amazon or Barnes/Noble or ebook.

I'll see you on Sept. 6.
