This is a heavy and important book. It was hard to see how many lies I’d been told as an American and just fully believed until October of 2023. I really liked the personal stories mixed in by the author; they did an excellent job of framing it in humanity better than if the whole book was just focused on the history.

A bit dry, but very important information. I like how the author included his own experiences and family history in the narrative.

Great introduction to the history of Palestinian resistance with an emphasis on global engagement, policy, and media coverage. Mostly read like a history book, but the addition of direct experiences recounted by the author helped demonstrate the actual effects of policy and politics. I particularly appreciated the dialogue on the influence that US citizens have, it gives me hope that better days are coming for Palestinians with this new wave of American media attention

Essential reading!!! This was really my first foray into learning about the history of Palestine, and I think the onslaught of information made it hard for me to stay engaged at times. I might revisit once I’m more familiar with the subject matter. From the river to the sea 🇵🇸
