Immoral Wars and Illegal Laws: History, Religion, Militarism And Peacemaking In The


Human Rights Struggle For Palestinian Independence. William Durland This is an account of personal experiences and observations on the ground in Israel and Palestine, and an analysis of the stubborn positions contributing to this seemingly insoluble conflict. Readers will find complete lists of all relevant international laws and violations of those laws, a review of all partition and resolution plans and proposals, and up-to- date, heart-rending descriptions of grass-roots, peacemaking efforts. Tie-ins to post 9-11 erosions in U.S. human rights ideals provide chilling and strongly relevant food for thought. Unabashedly controversial, this book is a passionate advocacy for peace with justice in the Middle East backed up by solid scholarship.

Friends At The Bar: A Quaker View of Law, Conflict Resolution, and Legal Reform Nancy Black Sagafi-Nejad


George Fox, founder of the Religious Society of Friends, admonished his followers against "going to law." In this fascinating, wide-ranging book, a Quaker lawyer explores the relationship between Quakers and the American legal system and discusses Friends' legal ethics. A highly influential group in the United States, both for their spiritual ideals of harmony, equality, and truth-telling, and for their activism on many causes, including abolition and opposition to war, Quakers have had many noteworthy interactions with the law.
