Without citing specific examples, Iâll just say the situation is horrific, it has been horrific since 1948, it will always be horrific, and I see no hope whatsoever.Â
This book should be required reading for everyone - EVERYONE - right now.Â

This non-fiction comic is roughly 30 years old but sadly it's as relevant as ever (even though some of the language hasn't aged well).Â

He is so misogynistic. The way he speaks about women is disgusting, and he even ends the measly chapter he writes about women (thatâs right, they get a separate chapter because theyâre obviously not part of the whole story) with a sexist joke. He acknowledges his sexism and delivers it anyway. He constantly comments on womenâs appearances as if that is a sign of whether they deserve respect or attention and he is so dismissive of the women he speaks to. He even admits that he doesnât see the Palestinian women as people, and is shocked when a Palestinian woman actually speaks to him (so shocked that her dialogue gets a super respectful âblah blah blahâ).
He is clearly on the side of Palestine and I really appreciate having access to Palestinian perspectives but he is also super islamophobic sometimes. He critiques the anti-semitism of the Palestinians he talks to, but then jokes about terrorism and repeatedly questions women about their head coverings in a way thatâs at best condescending and at worst outright offensive.
He simultaneously positions himself as âin the storyâ and âabove the storyâ. Like he tells about people begging him for help, crying, pleading, and then makes a flippant comment about forgetting their name or trying to keep the conversation upbeat. He complains about the over enthusiastic hospitality but takes food and shelter from refugees.
To go into this community and take the stories from people for his comic to succeed (as he repeatedly says) and then portray that it was beyond him to offer help⊠itâs sickening. His blasĂ© attitude towards the stories he shares is enraging. His treatment of people is nothing short of unethical and his view of himself is so beyond inflated.
