Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor is a 2018 non-fiction book on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict by Yossi Klein Halevi.
He frames his chapters as a series of letters to that neighbor that include both concise, balanced histories—of such topics as the history of modern Zionism and the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza—and his own memories of growing up an American Jew afraid that Israel would be destroyed in 1967, moving to Israel, and how his "romance with the settlement movement ended.
"[1]Halevi says he is seeking "to start the first public conversation between an Israeli writer and our neighbors about who we are, why we see ourselves as indigenous to this land, and what is our shared future in the region."
Kirkus Reviews called it "A plea for 'radical goodwill' in the face of the seemingly intractable bad blood between Israelis and Palestinians.
"[1] In its first week of publication, the book made it to The New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover non-fiction.
