HarperCollins Publishers (Australia) Pty Ltd The Holy And The Broken : A Cry For Israeli-Palestinian Peace From A Land That Must Be Shared

When dehumanisation and destruction become the norm, the cycle must be broken. Longlisted for the 2025 Walkley Award For over twenty years, Ittay Flescher has worked as an educator, journalist and peacebuilder in Melbourne and Jerusalem.When he woke up on the morning of October 7, 2023 to the sounds of rocket sirens over Jerusalem and later saw the devastation of Gaza in response, the grief and sadness that engulfed him - and so many others - compelled him to ask: how can we find a way forward?Following years spent facilitating dialogue between Jews, Muslims and Christians, Ittay believes that peace can only be found if we are willing to empathise with the pain of others.
