Broken Promises, Broken Dreams: Stories of Jewish and Palestinian Trauma and Resilience

A must read for those who want to hear a different perspective about the treatment and state of Palestinians.

It was a difficult book for me to read because it is all so sad what it happening in Palestine. In the last year I discovered that what the USA and Israel is reporting about the Palestinian people is not true and the brutality and cruelty of the Israeli army are doing to Palestinians is considered across the world war crimes against humanity. I always supported Israel but no more. Until I started to search for the truth I had no idea the horrible conditions and torture Palestinians go through day after day, year after year. The world needs to wake up to the horrible crimes done by Israel to Palestinians.

I found this book amazing because Dr. Rothchild admits she was totally a zionist as a child but after going to Gaza, she realized that Golda Meir had been wrong when she said that Palestine (Israel) was a land without people for people without a land. Of course, there were people there ... and they have been suffering ever since Israel was founded. It is way past time for Israel to apologize to the Palestinian people and to give them their freedom.Karyl Wade

If you are interested in understanding the stories of personal transformation of men and women who are fighting for justice in Israel and Palestine, this is the book for you. Dr. Rothchild shares her own personal journey as an American Jew who was raised to support Israel, but learned firsthand from working with peace activists in the US and in Palestine and Israel that the Palestinian narrative is powerful and transforming. Dr. Rothchild reports facts on the ground with insightful accuracy and in enlightening detail. If you keep an open mind, you too may find yourself challenging old assumptions and looking for new answers.

This is a beautifully written book. Rather than the usual philosophical rhetoric, Dr. R puts boots on the ground and tells a gripping tale. Well documented and heart breakingly descriptive, it is a compilation of many deep rooted emotions from both sides.The best forward looking written work that actually presents valid and logical solutions to end the conflict.Look forward to more from Dr. R.
