Author Helen Birnbaum’s goal in penning "BEFORE and AFTER ISRAEL'S 9/11: Aftermath of the October 7 Catastrophe, and Rays of Hope," is to illuminate the potential for genuine coexistence between Jews and non-Jews. It showcases the power of collaboration and mutual understanding. Birnbaum describes numerous cases of heartfelt connections and bridges across the often turbulent divides of religion, race, and culture—both within Israel and around the globe.
The book initially presents a brief description of the October 7 terrorist attacks which targeted Israeli civilians. The repercussions and disturbing revelations that followed offer a nuanced perspective on the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis.
Birnbaum emphasizes that despite the widespread and intense anti-Israel sentiments present in various societies, numerous individuals have made the courageous decision to stand in solidarity with Israel. They risk their reputations and possibly their personal safety to stand up for Israel amidst the tide of anti-Jewish rhetoric which has flooded the streets and campuses of western countries since October 7. Through her narrative, she demonstrates that rapport is not only possible, but has already taken root in various communities.
What sets this book apart is its focus on the bridges between Jews and Muslims that thrived before October 7, 2023, and continue to flourish. It presents testimonials that recount the efforts of people on both sides who believe that peaceful coexistence is possible.
This book is filled with inspiration! It reminds us that the Judeo-Islamic connection is relevant, considering Israel’s location in the Middle East and the growing impact of Islam in the West. It is a compelling and necessary read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Its blend of realism, optimism and commitment to the cause of peace make it a significant contribution to contemporary discussions on the Middle East. The book distinguishes between the ideology of radical Islamists and the teachings of moderate Islam.

About the Author
The author is not an activist or politically motivated, but felt called to shed light on the many acts of empathy and connection between Muslims and Jews that are often overlooked. In a world that focuses on conflict, she wants to remind readers of the quiet, benevolent ties that exist and matter deeply. She believes that peaceful coexistence is vital for Israel, a small land shared by both peoples who have nowhere else to go. As she says, “Coexistence is a fact of life. We can make it a peaceful reality or a perpetual conflict.”
