This book is amazing!! It was such a good read and I learned so much. Incredibly well-written and illustrated. 
(All the content warning though - this book is somehow so heavy but also digestible and sometimes even funny - it's pretty brilliant)

This collection of Palestinian accounts of the horror forced upon them by the occupying settler colony of Israel is a must read for understanding the occupation of Palestine. It was an incredibly difficult read due to the pain you feel when you put yourself in the Palestinians’ position. I learned so much such as different types of torture used, the appropriation of Palestinian goods to be sold as Israeli goods in Europe, the extra taxes Palestinians have to pay that Israelis do not, etc.

Important if you want a quick show and tell of what's happening in Palestine. 
This is from the 90's but unfortunately not a lot has changed, it's even worse now.
