Through their eyes, we learn how the mechanics of war lead to the abuse and frequent killing of innocents.

The Wall and the Gate
From renowned human rights lawyer Michael Sfard, an unprecedented exploration of the struggle for human rights in Israel's courts A farmer from a village in the occupied West Bank, cut off from his olive groves by the construction of Israel’s controversial separation wall, asked Israeli human rights lawyer Michael Sfard to petition the courts to allow a gate to be built in the wall.

Former an...

His new book broadens the purview to show us what Islam has become in today s world, attending fully to the multiplication of meanings of Islam. Islam in Liberalism is an intellectual/political history, enabling us to understand that history in terms of how Islam operated as a category within western liberalism; another way to phrase this is to say that Massad underscores how the anxieties about w...
