The violent realities of the occupation are on full display as we get to know and understand the Palestinian shepherds and farmers and Israeli volunteers who face this situation head-on with nonviolent resistance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_aupe copyable-text x15bjb6t x1n2onr6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_aupe copyable-text xkrh14z\"\u003eInspired by these committed individuals who are not prepared to be silent or passive, Shulman suggests a model for ordinary people everywhere. Anyone prepared to take a risk and fight their oppressive political systems, he argues, can make a difference—if they strive to act with compassion and to keep hope alive\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Context","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42545190404131,"sku":null,"price":499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/files\/252969118_b957efdb-ba35-4f97-b528-edc82d3d453a.jpg?v=1781174949","url":"https:\/\/champaca.in\/products\/freedom-and-despair-notes-from-the-west-bank","provider":"Champaca Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
