Offers a good look into the anti-Zionist position and can be a solid starting point (although it requiers some knowledge) for people interesting in the pro-Palestinian movement.

The first three quarters of this book are transcripts from conversations that I found engaging and informative. The final quarter is a series of articles that became a little repetitive - I didn’t feel I benefitted much from the final 50 or so pages. Still worth reading for the first 150-ish pages though. I wanted to be better informed about the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and I learned a lot from this book.
Chiaro, ben dettagliato, giustamente ridondante in alcuni punti. Ritengo sia una lettura obbligatoria di questi tempi.

Chomsky doesn't really miss on these sorts of topics. This is helpful as a very basic-level primer, but I'd be very selective about my recommendation for this book because of how dated it is at this point. Much of it holds up extremely well, but this wouldn't be my first recommendation.
I like this format a lot - part essays/speeches, part interview, part debate (kinda). Pappé and Chomsky largely agree on the information and context presented, with some specific nuance to each individuals take. This is interesting, but the book would perhaps be more powerful as a tool for debate if specific aspects of the Israeli position were discussed? I would recommend this as a high-level introduction to history in post-1947 Palestine and general find Chomsky and Pappé to be eloquent, frank, and easy to understand.
