Shattered Dreams: Israel and the Palestinians
Judah Passow
These photographs are more than simply a record of conflict and turmoil. They are the result of a very personal journey over the past twenty-five years to a place full of shattered dreams which cross the boundaries of culture and time. It’s a place where the young are robbed of their youth and the elderly stripped of their dignity. The people who live here glorify their past, curse the present, and have difficulty imagining a future.
Two very different perspectives into this relentless conflict are provided by the writers Etgar Keret and Samir El-Youssef (author of The Illusion of Return).
