The 2013 nonfiction judges: Jabari Asim is the author of The N Word and What Obama Means.
The latest news is that Jabari was actually negotiating a long-term truce with Israel.
There is no doubt that at first this created satisfaction in Israel, as Jabari was involved in many attacks on Israel.

A native of the West Bank, Jabari spent 13 years in jail for plotting an attack on Israelis.
