If recent history has taught the world anything, it is that the deep-seated conflict
between Israel and Palestine has never been more deadly. Both the initial act of terror
that befell the innocent Israeli people and the subsequent horrors beset upon the
innocent Palestinian people, creating a heartbreaking crisis, have set the world ablaze
with anger and loss. No matter which side of the conflict someone may fall on, the one
thing people can attest to is there needs to be an end to this conflict. Yet the question
remains: how can it be achieved?

Given how long and painful the history between these two nations is, and the horrors
they have endured, finding a solution which allows both countries to not only survive,
but also to find a peaceful end to the fighting is challenging. In author Howard
Sherrington’s Palestinia Homeland For Palestinians, the author explores not only the
conflict but the many issues outside of the conflict facing Palestine and the solutions
that can be taken to end the conflict.

The detail and history which the author poured into this book was truly engaging. Not
only does the author explore Palestine’s history and the history of Israel and its land, but
the author also dives into the outside forces and problems facing the Palestinian people;
from climate change affecting the chronic water shortages in Jordan to global warming
impacting the oil reserves and the money they bring in and so much more. The honesty
and depth the author brings to these chapters and the care the author takes to bring
multiple points of view, or in other terms showing the conflict from each side, gives
readers a fresh perspective to understand the issues facing both nations in this conflict.

For anyone who is a fan of history or finds themselves drawn towards current events, or
for any readers with an interest in particular with the conflict between Israel and
Palestine, this is the book which they will want to pick up for themselves. Another
interesting aspect of this book was not only the focus on the two countries, but on other
nations that have attempted to influence or help facilitate peace talks over the years, in
particular the United States and the four presidents that have failed to bring those peace
talks to a close. Understanding the past and what hasn’t worked is the only way forward
after all. The author’s detailed plans to facilitate more peace talks, including finding a
permanent settlement for the displaced Palestinian refugees in Jordan, will allow the
readers to see new solutions and paths that leadership can take to end this conflict
once and for all.
