What is Palestine - Israel?Answers to Common Questions by Sonia K. Weaver |
 |
The combined name Palestine-Israel only hints at the deep fissures dividing this land. This book presents some of the questions Mennonite workers in Palestine regularly receive from supporters in Canada, the United States, and beyond, along with straightforward answers. While the book grew out of the experience of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), a relief, development, and peacebuilding agency of Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches in Canada and the United States, it also pays attention to the work of other Mennonite mission and peacebuilding agencies in the country.
