Encountering the Suffering of the Other

Reconciliation Studies amid the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Edited by Francesco Ferrari, Martin Leiner, Zīna M. Barakat, Michael Sternberg and Boaz Hameiri.

What happens when members of societies who deny the pain of their "enemies" meet the reality of the suffering? - "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh” (Ezechiel 36:26). This biblical image, particularly significant for Jews, Christians, and Muslims, gives insight into the central issues of this book: how a greater readiness to reconcile can take place among individuals and groups who experience the "suffering of the other", even in the midst of a protracted conflict such as the Israeli-Palestinian one. This book offers a collection of 19 essays written by the team members of a transdisciplinary DFG project between Jena University, Ben Gurion University, Tel Aviv University, and the Wasatia Academic Institute: Francesco Ferrari, André Zempelburg, Zeina M. Barakat, Martin J.
