I heard an interview with the author of the book "Tomorrow is Yesterday."

Clear down to the grassroots level, it seems like the majority of the Palestinians and the majority of the Israelis actually do hate one another. I'd guess there are many exceptions to the majority opinions on both sides, but why has the Two State Peace Process not worked so far?

On NPR, I heard about a new book, "Tomorrow is Yesterday."

It seems like too much resentment is remembered from past wrongs. There is a lack of forgiveness and more of an interest in retribution among the bulk of people. Both sides have totally different goals.

I'd add that the the land area is very small. Two populations full of resentments are trying to share and divide up a space smaller than just a few counties here in Washington State.

On September 13 2025 Weekend Edition Saturday. One can search for interview on NPR.
