bookishmillennial's review
This book explained Israel’s role in monumentally devastating violence in so many other countries, including Romania, Haiti, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Argentina, Colombia, South Africa, Rwanda, Chile, and more.
“Israel’s claim to be a thriving democracy in the heart of the Middle East is challenged by the facts. All media outlets in Israel, along with publishers and authors, must submit stories related to foreign affairs and security to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) chief military censor before publication. No other Western country has such a system. It’s an archaic regulation that began soon after Israel was born. The censor has the power to entirely block the story or partially redact it.”

I usually avoid books that are solely focussed on war/politics since they tend to be quite dense with assumed knowledge but this was surprisingly accessible. I still struggled with some parts but it was mostly very informative and easy to understand.
Main critique is for the editor because my god were there a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes, what happened??
