This book is a hard and very disheartening read, but incredibly crucial. It gives a very detailed and brutally honest overview of Israel’s violent destruction of Palestine and breaks down the potential paths forward for the two countries from two of the most knowledgeable sources on the subject. If nothing else radicalizes you, this book definitely will.

prob should have looked into chomsky and pappe more before i decided to try this one, but this isn't it. very academic-y and not very accessible, even if you do have a foundation of understanding around palestine. from what i did get through, pappe (or chomsky? hard to tell, i was listening to the audiobook) wasn't down for a 2 state solution but he was down for a 1 state solution with israelis enveloped in the fold. he also was still recognizing the validity of israel and israelis (and from what i could tell through some limited research online, still considers himself israeli), so hard nope.

I wish I had read other books on Palestine before this one. It's not an introductory book, more like an epilogue to their previous works. I will definitely come back to this once I've done more reading.
