Publisher Description
Who cares about the Palestinian Arabs? The past century in Palestinian Arab history has certainly not been a walk in the park. This book will examine how the Palestinian Arabs have been influenced by the events of the past 130 years.
What did the massive Jewish immigration of the 1880s mean to the Arab residents of the Holy Land? Why did many Palestinian Arabs become refugees when the State of Israel was declared in 1948? Why is the refugee problem still unsolved more than 60 years later? How do the Arabs with Israeli citizenship fare? What about the human rights for the Palestinian Arabs?
This book will provide you with lots of facts that many people never heard about. If you really care about the Palestinian Arabs, you need to read this book.
The book has been written by a Christian author, and the conclusion is based upon the message and morals of the New Testament. But the main content of the book is solely based upon historical events of the past century, thus making the book relevant to every supporter of the Palestinian Arab people.

Biased Rubbish
Don't waste your time.
After a quick glimpse at the title I thought, 'Who cares about the Palestinians' was more of reflective query that prefaced an objective overview of the middle eastern crisis - how wrong this impression was. Anderson cares as little for the Palestinians as he does about an authors duty to write such a book in an informative, unbiased and sensitive style.
With statements in the preface including …"We will see how… the Palestinian Arabs had been cursed when they have chosen or been compelled to go against the divine plan for the Jewish people." I could go no further than page 20. Anderson is a huge fan of the generalised, sweeping statement e.g. "The fact is that many of these Arabs had more in common with and had a greater bond to Egypt or Syria" (pg.17), which is assuredly offensive to anyone with a level of education beyond grade 8.
