Review Quotes
Adina Hoffman | The Nation
“Beautifully written and emphatic in its calm insistence on the need to take both responsibility and action, Dark Hope is notable not just for the bleak picture it paints of the nightmare that the settlers and their sponsors, the Israeli government, have brought to millions of Palestinians but also, as its title suggests, for the faith it places in a basic human decency and in the belief that there must be another way. It is essential reading for anyone who wants—or hopes, however darkly—to grasp the lay of this punished land.”--Adina Hoffman, The Nation
Emily Bazelon | Slate
"During what he calls the ’unhappy years’ from 2002 to 2006, David Shulman, an Israeli professor at Hebrew University, did some of the harder work of his country’s peace movement: clashing with police and settlers to deliver food and medical supplies to Palestinian villages. In his excellent record of these years, Dark Hope, Shulman vividly describes the small bands of Palestinians who live in caves in the Hebron Hills."
Sanford R Silverburg | Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter
"A personal, but deeply disturbing narrative...a story that will certainly be controversial in any Jewish community"
