Dan Yoo, born and raised in Korea, has lived in Israel for the last decade. He has witnessed the tension between Arabs and Jews from close quarters. This never ending story inspired him to create a graphic book on the confusing conflict of a country in turmoil. It is also a homage to the brave people-Jews, Muslims, and Christians-who live their daily lives in this mystical place, The Holy Land. Around the world there are many people who struggle to understand the nuances of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. In this unique comic book format, Dan Yoo tells the story as it is, which makes PROJECT PALESTINE a great introduction to why Israel is in the headlines for the past century. The art work by Goodman Kim is sophisticated and pulls you right in. Apart from being informative, PROJECT PALESTINE is also a great read.
