Our Way to Fight

Peace-Work Under Siege in Israel-Palestine

Michael Riordon

Our Way to Fight follows the dangerous lives of non-violent peace activists in Israel and Palestine. It explores crises that stirred them to act, the risks they face, and small victories that sustain them.

Michael Riordon takes us to thousand year-old olive groves, besieged villages, refugee camps, checkpoints and barracks. In the face of deepening conflict, Our Way to Fight offers courageous grassroots action on both sides of the wall, and points the way to a liveable future. These engaging stories will provide inspiration to peace activists in Israel, Palestine, and across the world.
