Walls, tears and za'tar. Life stories and voices from the land of Palestine: Walls, tears and za'tar is the journey of a pilgrim who avoided organized tours to discover places and people of the Holy Land. It brings together the political and spiritual soul of an investigation into people who, finding themselves prisoners of the latest ethno-colonial ideology, resist by relying on the overwhelming force of life and certain small things, such as za'tar (thyme) in olive oil, in which homemade bread is dipped. In times in which attempts are being made to erase the identity of Palestine from maps, the author records signs and words, and documents both Palestinian suffering and the social and human consequences of the occupation on Israelis. Through lively civil society associations, meeting politicians, refugees and professors, bishops and patriarchs, resisters and ordinary people, the picture of a confused and fractured land is reconstructed piece by piece. In the book we can hear the testimony of an intransigent settler from Qiryat Arba who describes Hebron from both sides; or let a rabbi lead us by the hand among the Bedouins who live in the shacks on the outskirts of the elegant Israeli settlements east of Jerusalem. There are always cracks between the Walls, and people of good will or those desperately trying to live with dignity know how to find them. And go through it.
