- This is a must-read if you’d like to learn more about Palestine, and especially if you were subjected to Western media propaganda about the history of Palestine.
- Ilan Pappe is an Israeli historian who has written multiple books on Palestine and unveiled the truth behind the zionist propaganda. This book targets 10 of the most common myths that are often associated with Israel such as Israel being the “only democracy in the Middle East”, “Palestine was an empty land”, “Zionism is Judaism”…etc. I was shocked at how many of these lies are still being used to justify the Zionist’s fascist regime despite being proven false time and time again by historians.
- Every time I think I’ve read or seen the worst of it, there are even more examples of how evil the zionist government is. From massacres and mass graves to carpet bombings and the killing of innocent civilians to Nazi-like behavior, to every other evil and inhumane thing you can imagine.
- Although this was published years ago and documents the atrocities that have happened in Gaza throughout history, it’s still very relevant to current times and it’s heartbreaking how the same is happening now, only more violent.
