Quite a good overview of the conflict over Palestine, diving into the history and politics of the situation instead of what we see lately, which, while extremely valid, focus on the immediate Israeli human rights abuses.
I don't necessarily like it as a book — it has several authors with somewhat different views on the conflict, it changes formats every so often, and parts of it are repeated as Chomsky's words are provided both as-is and edited for publication in a few spots. But the content is very good and provides a fairly holistic view of the conflict.

The first part in the begining was lacking in details that I felt I needed but made up for it with some great conversations about change and what we should be doing to help with the Palestine conflict. Its a good intro book I think

A great primer for anyone relatively new to the siege in Gaza. This book was written before 2023 so it was an excellent summary of what led up to the genocide.

Amazing! I absolutely was entrenched in the thickets of this book from the very beginning. I loved the back and forth conversations between Chomsky and Pappe, it added a whole new perspective and format for distilling the Palestinians' struggle. I was marking up and adding sticky notes throughout all the pages because I was so infuriated and encapsulated by what they had to say. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is looking to educate themselves further on the plight of the Palestinians and the historicity of it all.
