“I believe while many of us may inadvertently and unknowingly be victims of certain emotions like anger or tribalism or lack certain emotions like empathy, we are nevertheless able to rise above such challenges. This is the area where most collective work and efforts are needed, as it is the very heart of the problem. The rising tensions we all are concerned about are rooted in the binary positions most of us take subconsciously. But goodwill on our part can pave the way through understanding and empathy.”
Death of Hope: Israel-Palestine” by Ali Azam is an introspective examination of the enduring conflict between Israel and Palestine, underpinned by themes of human suffering and resilience. Through thoughtful analysis, Azam delves into the psychological, political, and social dimensions that perpetuate the conflict and impact those involved.
