A review by miaorton
On Palestine by Ilan Pappé, Noam Chomsky

4.0

So so good… but I would read Chomsky’s grocery lists. I didn’t realize this was a sequel to a different collaboration that Chomsky did with Ilan Pappe, but I loved the format. It was a back-and-forth dialogue and at times they disagreed, but they were both so brilliant in dissecting the rhetoric around Israel & Palestine and how the complexity of the issue is manufactured in part to disguise that it’s just another iteration of settler colonialism.

Ilan Pappe has such a unique perspective because he is Israeli, and I loved hearing how his mind was changed and how he became a leading voice in Palestine’s liberation.
