Other than hearing the name, I knew nothing about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict before opening Raheb's book. He gives an accurate picture into the terrible strife of Palestinian Christians in the West Bank, as well as an introduction to the Conflict as a whole. He is straightforward and honest in telling of the atrocities committed by Israel against the Palestinians, but he is not hateful toward them. He even included a few chapters explaining how he believes Israel came to the position it is in and how they have misunderstood the concept of being "the Chosen People" as a claim to God's favor, rather than a plea for God's undeserved grace. Raheb asserts that the Palestinians and the Israelis must come to terms with each other and realize that they are tied to closely together for one to dominate the other. Their prosperity must come jointly.Raheb's book is so biased toward the Palestinian side because the Palestinians did't have much of a voice. The West hears plenty about the Israeli side of the issue, but little or nothing from the Palestinian side.But we must remember that Raheb published this book sixteen years ago (in 1995). Much remains the same (the oppression, restrictions, takeovers, illegal "settlements," unfair water allotments, etc.) and much has changed (Raheb's outlook and his proposed solution, for example). As for his views toward Muslims, remember that Christians make up less than 2% of the Palestinians in the West Bank, and most of the rest of the population are Muslim. Palestinian Christians are in a tough spot of having to get along with these neighbors that exponentially outnumber them.I spent several weeks in Israel and days in the West Bank this Summer, witnessing and hearing personal testimonies from both sides of the conflict. I had the chance to meet Mr. Raheb in Bethlehem and he explained that a lot of what he wrote, especially about his optimism for a solution between Israel and Palestine, has changed.In the end, though it is outdated now, "I am a Palestinian Christian" is a great introduction to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, especially from the Palestinian perspective. Remember that it's outdated. Read Raheb's more recent books if you want an updated and more accurate picture. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Revierw of Old Awareness *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2010* The book is old but still valuable to those of us who care about the middle east. I suspect that it is tough to keep that attention after so long a time with so many other things calling for our attention. However the author makes a great attempt to make us aware of the implications of both the U.S. and Israeli foreigh policy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars painfully informative *by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2014* A look into the Palestinian Christian world, with its political and theological complexities; definitely worth reading. It's heartbreaking to think that this reality continues to exist. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16075888-i-am-a-palestinian-christian-god-and-politics-in-holy](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16075888-i-am-a-palestinian-christian-god-and-politics-in-holy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
