literarybutterfly 's review for:

On Palestine by Ilan Pappé, Noam Chomsky

---

I read On Palestine after it was suggested as a first read to learn about the history of the Palestine genocide. Personally, I didn’t find it the most helpful as a beginner. It seems there’s just so much to learn. It’s quite a short book so I plan on circling back to this after reading The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine. I watched a TikTok compilation of chapter summaries of The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine. Since then, the history is starting to make a lot more sense and I feel more prepared to read it once it comes in from the library. All that to say, I’m not going to rate On Palestine since I didn’t have the necessary historical context at the time to really understand the material. I will re-review at that time.
