"This critically important memoir . . . is a must-read." Naomi
Wolf, author, social critic, political activist
"This is a brilliantly rendered father and son saga amidst a
background that evokes Greek mythology. The father was an Israeli
hero in the fight for independence and the subsequent wars that led
to Israeli dominance, and a brutal occupation. The father and son
difficulties can never escape the bigger picture. This is a story
of admirationand anger." Sy Hersh
"The story of Miko Peled, his mother and father, reveals how facts,
compassion and a universal sense of justice took hold and inspires
this energetic and informed voice for peace." Ralph Nader
"Injustice is a must-read book for anyone who wants to know how
after 9/11, the US criminal justice system has been undermined and
become another tool utilized by the pro-Israeli camp to silence and
intimidate Palestinian Americans." Prof. Dr. Sami A. Al-Arian,
Director and Public Affairs Professor, Center for Islam and Global
Affairs, Islam ve Kuresel Iliskiler Merkezi

complex Holy Land Foundation case in a sensitive, careful, and
methodical manner while doing so with a humanistic focus on the
impacted families. Injustice is a must-read." Dr. Hatem Bazian,

trials of the Holy Land Foundation Five. It makes a convincing case

attacks, which they had nothing to do with." Louise Cainkar,
author, Homeland Insecurity: The Arab American and Muslim American
Experience after 9/11

justice against the Holy Land Five . . . A must-read for all who

oppress the Palestinians." Marjorie Cohn, Professor Emerita, Thomas
Jefferson School of Law

families, and should be read widely and shared liberally to help
