Martin Schäuble has traversed Israel and Palestine on foot from the Golan Heights to the Red Sea. In his extensive, vivid travelogue, he recounts how the people there have adapted their lives under the constant threat of the Middle East conflict. He spoke with Orthodox Jews and desperate Palestinians, observed the protest movement in Tel Aviv, and hiked a stage with David Grossman. Despite significant challenges, he managed to make a detour into the Gaza Strip. Schäuble not only brings us closer to the everyday lives of Israelis and Palestinians, but he also helps us understand how different ways of life, interests, and claims intersect in this confined space.
