On Palestine
ByPublisher Description
The sequel to the acclaimed Gaza in Crisis from world-famous political analyst Noam Chomsky and Middle East historian Ilan Pappé.
Operation Protective Edge, Israel’s 2014 assault on Gaza, left thousands of Palestinians dead and cleared the way for another Israeli land grab. The need to stand in solidarity with Palestinians has never been greater. Ilan Pappé and Noam Chomsky, two leading voices in the struggle to liberate Palestine, discuss the road ahead for Palestinians and how the international community can pressure Israel to end its human rights abuses against the people of Palestine.

“Amazing and informative book. It really brought in some thought-provoking perspectives and has provided me with new information to bring into discussions when talking about the issues in Israel and Palestine. It’s important (as this book says) to keep opening up these discussions so that we can move forward and grow.”CaptivatingEducationalEngagingMovingThought-provokingAccurateAuthoritativeCredible sourcesEvidence-basedIn-depth analysisPersonal experienceThoroughWell-researchedAddresses counterargumentsCohesiveFlows wellLogical progressionWell-arguedWell-organizedClearEloquentChild abuseDeathRacismViolenceWar violence

“This slim volume features conversations between editor Barat and two preeminent Palestine scholars, Chomsky and Pappé, followed by excerpts from essays and speeches by the latter two.
This book is aimed at those who already have background knowledge on the Israeli occupation of Palestine and wish to add more nuance to their arguments. It's also important to note that while the book is called 'On Palestine', it predominantly focuses on the role of Israel and the US on the lives of Palestinians. It's not a discussion on Palestinian history or culture but rather life under occupation and how we might possibly be able to change that life.
Another thing to note is how, despite being a decade old, and referencing events that took place 10, 20, 40 years before publication, the actions by Israel and the US are nearly identical to what we've been seeing over the last 16 months: incremental genocide, ceasefire violations, expansionism over security, and willful blindness.
The main thing I disliked about the book was the lack of hope in its pages, yet I understand why the authors aren't very optimistic: nothing has substantively changed in 75 years. It's a prescient read, though; vital to our times.”Start a Book Club
