## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heartbreaking Free Palestine 🇵🇸 😜
*by C***E on 14 October 2024*

Great book. Sad and disgusting zionist ethnic cleansing. Tragic. 😭😢🇵🇸✊️

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A father's work
*by Y***S on 21 October 2024*

There's an urgent need of more Palestinian voices to be heard in times a great darkness coming from that region of the world and with that in mind, I've bought Raja Shehadeh's book " We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I". It's basically an ode to his late father , also a layer Aziz Shehadeh and in it's pages one finds a detailed account of Aziz's actions in favor of a two state solution for the Palestinians and Israelis. One is not surprised that the Israelis would act in bad faith while participating in these efforts in most cases but i personally didn't know that many Jordanian politicians were also not interested in a fair solution.This is an interesting read but in spite of the gorgeous tittle, it's only during the last chapter that Shehadeh really lets his pride for his father burst through the pages and gives this book a more personal, touching tone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful book by a wonderful man
*by R***D on 13 September 2023*

Having been fortunate enough to have attended by zoom some of Raja's talks, I had been looking forward to the release of this book for a couple of years, and it certainly didn't disappoint. He has very clear vision into the problems of the region and is fair in his assessments. Set against his difficult relationship with his father, the book tells the story of the injustices meted out to the Palestinian people, still happening today. Beautifully written, it is an education for all of us, and should make us all face up to our own culpability in the present situation.
