Israel: eine Korrespondenz by Natan Sznaider, Navid Kermani

I admit we did a lot to cause this exact situation, but what now?
[Translated from German.]
Essentially, this book is nothing but a series of e-mails between these two journalists that have close personal and professional ties to the Israel-Palestine conflict. The selling point is that both have quite different viewpoints on the situation but manage to find understanding regardless as they exchange their criticisms and hopes.
It's a good read, that, I feel, includes some good talking points, some of them refreshingly point-blank (even if not purely objective of course). It makes for a thought-provoking conversation to "overhear", giving room for different perspectives while essentially striving for a common ground.
