The Palestine Diary
Robert John and Sami Hadawi
Some comments on The Palestine Diary:
In his foreword to The Palestine Diary, Arnold Toynbee, the outstanding
historian of the 20th century, wrote, "I hope this book will be widely read in the United States, and this by Jewish and non-Jewish Americans. If the American Government were constrained by American public opinion to take a non-partisan line in Palestine, the situation in Palestine might quickly change for the better."

William Yale, Special Agent of the Department of State in World War I,
Adviser to the Department on the Near East in World War II and to the United Nations Organization:
"This book will make history."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
David W. Littlefield, Library of Congress, The Library Journal:
"This is not a personal diary, but the most detailed history available of the
Palestine problem . . .the book is so detailed, and the quotations and
footnoting of the sources is so extensive that it is a valuable aid to researchers."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
John K. Cooley, Middle East Bureau, the Christian Science Monitor:
"It is a most illuminating and useful book. It should be in universities and
libraries, and especially in the hands of historians, throughout the world."

"Many rabbis and professionals have told me recently that they fear for their jobs should they even begin to articulate their doubts about Israeli
policy--much less give explicit support to calls for an end to the occupation."
