On Palestine
by Ilan Pappé, Noam Chomsky
challenging
informative
sad
medium-paced
Ilan Pappé and Noam Chomsky are some of the foremost experts on the history of the Israeli oppression of Palestinians, and many of their points on how to move toward peace in the region remain salient today. The U.S. must hold Israel accountable to the same standards as other states with respect to human rights if there is ever to be hope for the Palestinians to attain civil rights and a decent standard of living. Chomsky is more pessimistic about the prospect for a solution than Pappé, and they discuss similarities and differences with South Africa's anti-apartheid struggle, but both are unequivocal that Israeli policies are the primary stumbling block toward peace.
