LETTERS TO MY PALESTINIAN NEIGHBOR AFTER OCTOBER 7th
In 2018, Yossi Klein Halevi published Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor. Speaking to an anonymous Palestinian neighbor, the author used history and personal experience as his guides, bringing together the anguish and faith held by many Israelis and Palestinians who longed for a peace that would allow them to live life like everyone else in the world. What has changed after October 7th? For many years, Israelis living close to the Gaza border were reaching out to their neighbors, driving them to Israeli hospitals for treatment, hiring them for work in their homes, trusting and hoping that these personal relationships would ultimately lead to a long-lasting peace. Now that this hope has been shattered for many, how do we envision Israeli letters to Palestinian neighbors? What can be said? Is there any chance of healing these relationships?
