What happens when a Jewish-American humanitarian and a Muslim Palestinian poet decide to write a book together - in the middle of a war?Allan J. Alonzo Wind spent two years leading medical missions in Gaza. Mohammed Arafat grew up there, surviving blockade after blockade before fleeing to the United States. They could have been enemies. Instead, they chose to listen.One Conversation, Two Identities, Four Faiths is the unforgettable dialogue between these two unlikely friends - one a retired USAID diplomat with a Jewish background who embraced the Bahá’í Faith, the other a Gazan poet whose family remains trapped in the rubble. Their voices alternate page by page, creating an intimate back-and-forth that is by turns heartbreaking, funny, furious, and full of hope.Includes original poetry, photographs from Gaza before and during the war, and practical steps every reader can take toward interfaith understanding.Silence, in times like these, is too close to surrender.More than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, 2023. Headlines reduce them to numbers. One Conversation, Two Identities, Four Faiths is a daring collaboration between Allan J. 'Alonzo' Wind, a Jewish-American Bahá’í who served as Mission Director for International Medical Corps in Gaza, and Mohammed Arafat, a Gazan Muslim poet living in Washington, D.C., whose family is still caught in the devastation.With original poetry from Gaza, firsthand accounts of life under blockade and bombardment, and an interfaith call to action that spans Judaism, Islam, Christianity, the Bahá’í Faith, and the Druze tradition.The only book on the Gaza crisis co-authored by a senior American humanitarian who lived there and a Palestinian poet who grew up there.
