Jonathan Garfinkel cant make up his mindnot about his girlfriend, or Judaism, or Israel. After hearing about a house in Jerusalem where Jews and Arabs coexist in peace, he decides its time to venture there. In Israel, nothing is as he imagined it, and nothing is as he was taught. Garfinkel gives us the people behind the headlines: from secret assignations with Palestinian activists and an uninvited visit at an Arab refugee camp to Passover with Orthodox Jewish friends and finding the truth about the mythic coexistence house,With lofty ideals, spectacular ambivalence, and endearing naivet?, Jonathan Garfinkel explores Israel and Palestine by talking to ordinary people.
