Mark Patinkin Biography
Mark Patinkin, longtime Providence Journal columnist, is the author of “The Holy Land at War: A Journey Through Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.” Over the decades, in addition to being one of Rhode Island’s premier story-tellers, Patinkin has traveled abroad to write about the Lebanon civil war, the first Intifada, the collapse of European communism and now the Gaza war. He was almost kidnapped by Hezbollah in Lebanon in the 1980s, was arrested by the Romanian secret police in 1989 and recently embedded into the Gaza war zone with the IDF. Patinkin was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for international reporting and has honorary degrees from Rhode Island College and Johnson and Wales University. Patinkin grew up in Chicago, graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont and currently lives in Providence.

Mark Patinkin Speaking Topics
That is both the name of my new narrative nonfiction book and my anecdotal presentation. I take audiences on my recent odyssey into both sides of the conflict, visiting the worst-hit Oct. 7 kibbutz, which remains the way it was on that terrible day, more a testimony than a memorial. I sat with grievously IDF wounded in Israel's biggest hospital, where they told me their greatest joy is standing on a balcony seeing Israelis on bikes and sidewalk cafes - they fight so their country can live. I went into the Gaza war zone itself with the IDF, a dystopian landscape where I saw a recently discovered tunnel and a school where Hamas had been dug in. Young soldiers told me their grandparents used to tell them about pogroms and the Holocaust, which the soldiers considered from a long-past era, but now it had happened again on Oct. 7, which is why they fight. I also spent two days as the only non-Palestinian face I saw on the West Bank, experiencing both hospitality and hardship. I was driven by a Palestinian teacher and at one point, as we approached an Israeli army checkpoint, I pointed at a nearby Jewish settlement. Immediately, my teacher friend grabbed my arm and pulled it down - never point, he said; the soldiers will mistake it for a gun and shoot first, asking questions later. At the end of both my book and my speech, I bring the audience to one of Israel's rare Jewish-Arab schools, pausing by a kindergarten class, where I decided to count how many Jewish kids and Arab kids there were sitting in a circle. But I could not tell one from the other.
