This book is a must-read and must-share for anyone who wants to or needs to know more about this subject — especially students, journalists, educators, legislators, activists. We are looking forward to having Pamela with us in the Northwest as part of her national book tour.

Hi Pam! I know someone in Boston, the Founder/Exec. Director of Society for Biblical Studies (website: sbs.org) – leads many groups through Palestine, etc. Would you like me to forward your itinerary and info for more ideas, places to visit/present when you’re in Boston?
Wishing you much success on your travels…wish you were coming here to Indianapolis (sigh)!

Thanks, Judy! Please feel free to forward my info to your friend. Always happy to have new leads! I hope to make it to the South, Midwest, and Southwest in the fall, inshallah, so if you have any contacts in Indianapolis who might want to arrange an event, feel free to forward my info to them as well. Thanks!

I read, FAST TIMES IN PALESTINE, in March, 2012, before I made a trip as a trauma counselor to Gaza with Physicians for Social Responsibility. It is a great book: Personal, experiential, passionate, down-to-earth, full of good information as well as important anecdotes. I wish I could get you to stop in Wichita – largest city in Kansas and about two hours north of Oklahoma City, we have a great independent bookstore, several of us from Wichita went to the End the Occupation event in St. Louis last Sept. but I did not know you were attending!!!! Let me know about Wichita and you have written a wonderful book!!!

Thanks, Michael! I would love to visit Wichita if possible in the fall, when I’ll be touring again. (My spring schedule is already full, unfortunately.) Please do be in touch!
