Publisher Description: The tragedies of the conflict between the Palestinian people and Israel are never far from the pages of the mainstream press. Yet, it is rare that we hear from both sides of the war and rarer still when those voices belong to women. This book is the personal account of an educated American Jewish woman travelling to Israel, meeting both Israeli and Palestinian women whilst working within the healthcare system. Opening with a look at how a traditional American Jewish upbringing shaped her views of Israel, Rothchild explains how she became increasingly aware of the incursions upon Palestinian human rights. Rothchild brings the Palestinian experience into sharp relief, looking at how their quality of healthcare has been drastically affected by Israeli actions. She follows several Palestinian doctors battling against the restrictions to deliver medical care.
