A Jew in Gaza

Humanitarian Heartbreak, Hubris and Horrors

A nonfiction narrative/memoir of living in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories in 2022 and 2023, through repeated conflicts and escalations, up to, including and beyond the October 7 attack on Israel and the ongoing war between Israel and Gaza.
Leading a $10 million health and humanitarian assistance program there, Mr. Wind shares insights about the realities and paradoxes of Gaza and struggling to provide humanitarian assistance in the face of conflict and the dangers to innocent civilians.
The insights of Allan J. “Alonzo” Wind retired USAID Foreign Service Officer and international development humanitarian, and his Palestinian friends, associates and colleagues. A view into Gaza few have had, as an American Jew, as a Baha'i, as a humanitarian living under the threats of the interminable conflicts between Israel and Gaza.

Mr. Wind’s unique position in Gaza weaves a fine line between the shared legacy and claims of the Israelis and the Palestinians. No partisan or ideological polemic here; he brings to bear a balanced perspective and a call for action in terms of reconciling hated enemies.
