This book was so so important to read. I tend to struggle with reading non fiction books, as it can be hard to get through them. However this book was so important to read and vital to inform myself about the history of the conflict. To be honest, it makes me quite sad and horrified to see how Palestine has been failed on every level by the US, the other Arab countries, and its own leaders. I hope that, even when the US gov’t continues to ignore the horrors it is supporting, that the grassroots work that people in Palestine, the US, and elsewhere, is able to make an impact.

Have the English ever touched something without fucking it up? That the Americans haven't then made worse for perverted and insane reasons? 

The author, despite having significant personal connections to the history being told, is extremely even handed in detailing the faults of all parties involved. 

The whole thing is enraging.

this book was so depressingly informative and well researched, although it would now be considered “outdated” considering what has happened within the last year alone. that being said, i learned so much of the beginnings of the conflicts between israel and palestine, and got an overview of how it led to today’s gen0cide, funded and supported by the global’s superpowers, specifically the united states infuriatingly so. if you don’t think israel is a settler-colonial apartheid state, then you need to read this book and will think they are afterwards.

from the river to the sea, palestine will be free 🇵🇸
