I am quite concerned about two books on the list and agree with Andrea Rapp that it’s not “balance” that we want; if two sides are not inherently in balance, then balance falsifies the reality. It is, as Andrea says, fairness that we should look for.
The two books that I found to be toxic in their anti-Israeli perspective were *The Shepherd’s Granddaughter* by Anne Laurel Carter and *A Little Piece of Ground* by Elizabeth Laird. As Robby Feinstein pointed out, *The Shepherd’s Granddaughter* sparked a great deal of controversy here in Canada when it came out. I did an exhaustive study of it at the time; I won’t go into all the details here, but allow me to mention two: 1. The story happens in a West Bank village called Al-Khalil. What Carter does not tell her readers is that Al-Khalil has another name -- Hebron. It is the site of the Cave of Machpelah, which, according to the Biblical account (Genesis 23:11 – 20) the Jewish patriarch Abraham purchased from Ephron the Hittite to bury his wife Sarah. Until the Jewish community of Hebron was driven out by the murderous Arab pogrom of 1929, Jews had been living there virtually uninterrupted since the Byzantine era, likely longer than the thousand-year presence of Amani’s family. 2. Carter also accuses settlers of poisoning the water supply of Amani’s sheep. There are indeed extremists among some West Bank settlers, and the Israeli government is currently taking a stronger stand against the notorious Hilltop Youth. But Carter seems unaware that accusing Jews of poisoning has a long and shameful history. In the Middle Ages Jews were accused of poisoning Christians’ wells to cause the Black Plague. In 1983 a yellow dust on a West Bank school’s windowsill was cited as evidence that Israel was deliberately releasing poison. In the end, the yellow dust proved to be nothing but pollen, and the Israelis uncovered a deliberate PLO plot to spread the poisonous rumour. Given the long history of this anti-Semitic canard, Carter would do well to ask herself why she received the malicious libel so uncritically. Laird’s *A Little Piece of Ground* is, if any, more malicious – and particularly dangerous because she is such an accomplished and eminent writer. When the book was published in 2003, the manager of a Vancouver, Canada, children’s book shop pleaded with Macmillan not to release it, pointing out that “there is not even one mildly positive portrait of an Israeli in the entire book. . . .*A Little Piece of Ground . . . *is for children, the overwhelming number of whom clearly haven’t a clue about this conflict, and thus depend on books like this for the opinions they form about what goes on in the Middle East.” Laird replied disingenuously that “The book is written through the eyes of a 12-year-old who just sees men with guns. It would not have been true to my characters to do otherwise.” To which I would reply, “No one made you write a book through the eyes exclusively of a 12-year-old Arab boy who would obviously not understand why Israelis are taking the actions they have to take to protect Israelis against terrorists during the Second Intifada.” Imagine reporting the bombing of the French towns of Normandy from the perspective of the French residents, *without ever explaining* that the Normandy invasion – which slaughtered more than 25,000 French civilians – was necessary to defeat the Nazis. To Laird and the young Arab protagonists of her novel, the Israelis are demonic. She paints Israeli soldiers not as the teenage boys in tanks that they are, but as the tanks themselves, “great armoured machines lying down there, like a row of green scaly monsters, crouched waiting to crawl back up the hill and pin the people of Ramallah down in their houses again.” My son-in-law commanded a tank in the Second Lebanon War, and he is not a “green scaly monster,” nor does he have an anti-Arab bone in his body. Laird’s book dehumanizes him and his fellow soldiers.
