It brings together interdisciplinary chapters written by international specialists in the field of interreligious engagement. It presents Jewish and Palestinian perspectives as well as the South African perspective regarding apartheid, international law, antisemitism, and the suppression of the Palestinian voice in Germany and the United States. It further delves into the historic and ongoing dispossession of the Palestinian experience and discuss the accusation of ethnic cleansing carried out by Israel and supported by the Western powers, particularly the United States.

The book Interreligious Solidarity for Justice in Palestine-Israel is a seminal work covering the interconnected efforts of activists, intellectuals and ecumenical/interfaith leaders in exposing the ongoing violence perpetrated against the Palestinian people. The unveiling of the complicity of the global church and Western powers in support of a settler colonial project is at the core of this book.
