FINALIST
--
The
National
Jewish
Book
AwardIn
this
deeply
personal
journey
of
discovery,
Ami
Ayalon
seeks
input
and
perspective
from
Palestinians
and
Israelis
whose
experiences
differ
from
his
own.
As
head
of
the
Shin
Bet
security
agency,
he
gained
empathy
for
"the
enemy"
and
learned
that
when
Israel
carries
out
anti-terrorist
operations
in
a
political
context
of
hopelessness,
the
Palestinian
public
will
support
violence,
because
they
have
nothing
to
lose.
Researching
and
writing
Friendly
Fire,
he
came
to
understand
that
his
patriotic
life
had
blinded
him
to
the
self-defeating
nature
of
policies
that
have
undermined
Israel's
civil
society
while
heaping
humiliation
upon
its
Palestinian
neighbors.
"If
Israel
becomes
an
Orwellian
dystopia,"
Ayalon
writes,
"it
won't
be
thanks
to
a
handful
of
theologians
dragging
us
into
the
dark
past.
The
secular
majority
will
lead
us
there
motivated
by
fear
and
propelled
by
silence."
Ayalon
is
a
realist,
not
an
idealist,
and
many
who
consider
themselves
Zionists
will
regard
as
radical
his
conclusions
about
what
Israel
must
do
to
achieve
relative
peace
and
security
and
to
sustain
itself
as
a
Jewish
homeland
and
a
liberal democracy.
