Features: Rabin's assassination, Yassin's bombing, Arafat's mysterious death, who will be next? Israeli President Katzav warned on July 4, 2005, that as the withdrawal plan's implementation date draws near, extremists might imitate the 1995 assassination of former Prime Minister Rabin and target Israeli Prime Minister Sharon. In the Middle East—this land filled with war and turmoil—the dispute over the Golan Heights, the pain of the separation barrier, and the frequent cycle of retaliation and revenge have deepened hatred. Jerusalem—the "City of Peace"—is fraught with tension, witnessing the bloodshed of "suicide bombings." A Chinese journalist, who experienced the scene and witnessed deaths, navigates the smoke, gunfire, and fury of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Close encounters with Palestinian and Israeli political figures such as Sharon, Peres, and Arafat, through indirect texts, present a true and objective history right before your eyes, delivering a visual shock and a spiritual. Over 130 stunning illustrations.
