Named in the Acknowledgments (PDF p.10-11).
Details
- “We witnessed the extreme kindness, generosity, and friendliness of the Palestinian people. It was actually quite startling to me that, even though living under years and years of the occupation, people wouldn’t be hardened or bitter toward outsiders, especially Americans” (PDF p.256).
- “I realized that the Palestinians, although portrayed often as not human, were very much in fact one of the most welcoming people I have ever visited” (PDF p.256).
