Beautifully written and read by accomplished American author, activist, and political analyst Phyllis Bennis, Understanding Palestine and Israel is a crucial resource for anyone seeking to grasp the realities of Palestine and Israel, making it an essential addition to the discourse surrounding peace and coexistence in the region.

On July 27, 2004, at the Paulist Center in Boston, a symposium was held at the Democratic National Convention. The symposium, entitled "Building the Peace Movement", was moderated by Mimi Kennedy. The discussion panel was composed of Dennis Kucinich, Phyllis Bennis, Tom Hayden, Medea Benjamin, and Steve Cobble.

Phyllis Bennis tracks the rise of U.S. unilateralism and the doctrine of preemptive war, looking particularly at Iraq and Israel/Palestine, and examines both the potential and the challenges ahead in reclaiming the U.N. as part of the global peace movement.
