Description
You Can't Hide the Sun A Journey Through Israel and Palestine by John McCarthy John McCarthy's journey through Israel and East Jerusalem was shaped by his childhood tales of Palestine, which only deepened after he was kidnapped and held hostage in Lebanon for five years. This experience strengthened his resolve to explore the complexities of the Middle East. In the years that followed, McCarthy travelled extensively throughout the region, from its Mediterranean shores to the Bedouin encampments of the Negev desert. His encounters with the inhabitants of this beautiful but troubled land reveal the ongoing tragedy faced by Palestinians who remained in Israel after its formation in 1948. Through his own experiences living under constant threat, McCarthy weaves together the stories of those he met, asking how humanity can endure in the face of unimaginable oppression and find a sense of safety. This book is a powerful exploration of the human spirit's capacity to persevere in the most challenging circumstances.
