Mystery

Abu Fadhil, militant Palestinian leader who is disillusioned by the Lebanese war and Israel's '82 invasion, returns secretly to Jerusalem to organize passive resistance to end the occupation. Finding love with the beautiful Sara, his real identity is discovered. Over the years, his efforts and those of others bring Israel to a settlement and creation of a Palestine state. RAJA'OUN is a bold and controversial story, written from the Palestinian perspective. Both Arab and Israeli characters oppose the killing and repressive occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. The leading character, Munir Atallah, continues from BURIAL IN BEIRUT, the author's earlier novel set in the Lebanese civil war. This novel seeks to help readers understand the conflict, to see the real Palestinians: courageous, responsible though poorly led. The novel projects some of the ways this century-old problem could be solved. Peacefully.
