I think that there are parts of this book that are really fantastic but it gets kind of weird in the second half with all the talk about Isreal as a Jewish promised land. I wouldn't say this is a zionist book, but the only time it acknowledges Palestinian occupation is with a short, vague line. Very strange and made me feel gross!
