A review by danaslitlist
The Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi

challenging dark emotional informative medium-paced

5.0

I, like many others, am reading this in the midst of a genocide taking place in Palestine by the hands of the Israeli government and aided by the US (through support and funding) and the UK (through inaction). This book does an amazing job of taking you through the history of Palestine in a way that is accessible while remaining very academic. I appreciate the author using stories from his own family's experiences as well. We see such a pattern of behavior, of history repeating itself over and over again when it comes to the wars (if you can call some of these "conflicts", wars when the Palestinian people do not have an army) and it is so important that non-Palestinians make sure we are absorbing this information and sharing it. 

Elevate Palestinian voices. Write to your state representatives, protest, share what is happening.
