The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine Paperback – Illustrated, April 1, 2016

Absolutely wonderful book. Helps you understand the conflict.

A must read for truth seekers about Israel

This book is an easy read and gives some insight into Israeli and Palestine. Problem. The information can get be repetitive. But over all an interesting. Story

One of the most compelling reads to describe the Israeli-Palestinian issues. It really opens up some “red flags” as to the origins of the 75 year suffering of the people in the region.The irony of so many Jews seeking safety and security following the horrific loss of life during the holocaust, continues on another continent. The author has a wealth of insight, seeing first-hand how life was during the first decade of the young country’s founding. Sadly, it has never experienced peace, nor have the surrounding countries made genuine inroads to achieve normal relations with the Jewish state. The plight of the thousands of displaced Palestinians from 1947-1948 has now been described honestly and with object clarity - facts not often accepted.The ongoing conflict, loss of life, hopelessness, and anger appears to have no end in sight.The book is a must-read, to gain better insight on this crucible of land.

I liked this book so much I bought 3 to give to my Zionist family members. Most American people don’t know anything about what’s really happening or the history of Palestine/ Israel. Everyone should read this very well written book.I can’t help but wonder if the Israeli government had listened to General Peled back in 1967, this horrible war wouldn’t be going on now.Thank you Miko Peled for writing such an informative and historical book.

Illustrates the failures of the nation's that created this problem and how it corrupted the Israeli ideal

Miko Peled has a very unique perspective being the son and grandson of important Israeli generals. As someone who has served in the Israeli military and seen first hand the treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, his knowledge and ability to get to the point makes this book an easy and very beneficial read.

Given the state of violence the world is now seeing on the evening news of the destruction, some say genocide, of the Gaza strip in 2024, this book is a must read.Published in 2016 this is a book that brings a reader up to date with the Middle East situation between Palestinians and Jews. An update on the regions history since when his grandfather was one of the signatories of the Isreali Declaration of Independence in 1947, his fathers participation as a Isreali general in the 1967 war, and sadly his niece's dealth, by a Hamas terror attack in 1997.His perspective as a one time Isreali soldier brought up Zionist in Jerusalem makes the argument that the only way to end this conflict is through partnership with the otherside. As a Zionist Jew in Jerusalem and finally the sad loss of his niece, Miko Peled has become an undying activist in the promotion of world peace.And!An advocate of a one secular democratic state solution for both Jews and Palestinians. Not the occupation and annexation of, "the lands to the river to the sea," that leads to second class citizenship for some and the reason for decades of violence which threatens all Jews and Arabs.
