We’ve all seen the horrifying images of death and destruction that have emerged out of Israel and Palestine.
Hamas’ launching of 5,000 rockets into Southern Israel on October 7th sparked a flashpoint in a region with a long and complex history.
A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy recounts the road accident that took the life of Abed’s five-year-old son, Milad, and five other Palestinian children. In the aftermath, Abed’s search for his son sees him navigate the travel restrictions placed on Palestinians within Israel.
Oli interviews Abed, and the book's author Nathan Thrall, an American journalist, living in Jerusalem, whose reporting and analysis of Israel has been cited on the floor of the UN General Assembly and in the UN Security Council.
In doing so, a concise image is painted of the territories and boundaries within which we can place the current, unfolding events.
