A review by maestro_cerrotorcido
Palestine by Joe Sacco

challenging dark emotional informative sad tense slow-paced

5.0

This collection of Palestinian accounts of the horror forced upon them by the occupying settler colony of Israel is a must read for understanding the occupation of Palestine. It was an incredibly difficult read due to the pain you feel when you put yourself in the Palestinians’ position. I learned so much such as different types of torture used, the appropriation of Palestinian goods to be sold as Israeli goods in Europe, the extra taxes Palestinians have to pay that Israelis do not, etc.
