Review of 'How to cure a fanatic' on 'LibraryThing'

4 stars

An interesting take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, in a slim volume (adapted from a couple of lectures). Oz argues that the conflict is between two peoples, both of whom are right about their claim to the land. It's not an opinion that many partisans of both sides will accept, but that might be an argument for it. Still, it could perhaps be expanded beyond these few pages - few even with a totally unenlightening interview with Oz tacked on at the end.
