Donald Neff served as Time magazine’s Jerusalem Bureau Chief from 1975-78. He had never worked in the Middle East before going to Israel in 1975. “My attitude toward the region [at that time] reflected pretty much the pro-Israel biases of the media and of Americans in general, unleavened by history or sophistication about Zionism,” he writes in this issue. What he saw of the Israeli occupation began to change his attitude. His epiphany came at a two-story Palestinian middle school in Beit Jala in 1978. more...Download PDF

The late Grace Halsell’s autobiography is titled “In Their Shoes” because she recounts how she researched her books by actually living as closely as she could the lives of the people she wrote about. In preparing to write “Soul Sister,” she passed as a black. In “Bessie Yellowhair,” she was Native American. In “The Illegals,” she told of swimming into the U.S. with “wetbacks” desperate enough for work that they risked death to find it illegally in the U.S. After she lived with Palestinians in preparing to write “Journey to Jerusalem,” she never looked again for another oppressed people to chronicle. For two decades more, until her death in 2000, she devoted herself to writing about Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims and --in this Link -- “the Living Stones,” Arabs descended from the earliest Christians of the Holy Land. more...Download PDF
