This book was great at explaining the careful planning of Zionism. Chomsky and Pappe really hammer the point the genocide in Palestine isn’t a “complex issue” that people claim it is. It’s very simple; Israelis are settler colonialists who are oppressing the indigenous population with violence. As long as the US continues to send aid, the genocide will continue. We need to educate people and advocate for the US to pull support for Palestine if we want to see any changes. 


I gave this 4 stars because I wish there was more explanation for the Uganda Scheme and Green Line.  There was a lot of  repetition of points they were already made.  Overall still a great read.

Very informative and informative. It was very interesting to see the perspective of an Israeli historian. My only issue was that I found it to be quite poorly edited in places.

Very informative and insightful. It’s good to see the point of view of an Israeli historian on Palestine.
A lot to be learnt from both Noam and Ilan’s perspective on the conflict. The approach is very grounded and realistic to the situation and the conflict.
