Historian Els van Diggele (b. 1967) has studied Palestinian society for many years. In We Hate Each Other More than the Jews she describes how much the Palestinians suffer under their own leaders. This is the last book in her trilogy about conflicts within religious groups in the region. Previous works include A People Who Live Apart, about struggles over Jewish identity in Israel.

It’s a question asked around the world: after decades of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, why do we seem further than ever from a resolution? Historian Els van Diggele reaches an unsparing conclusion: a main reason for the failure to achieve a Palestinian state is dissension among Palestinians. We Hate Each Other More than the Jews exposes the internal conflicts and corruption within Palestinian society.
