On Palestine by Ilan Pappé, Noam Chomsky
5.0
Highly, highly recommend.
Although this was written in 2015, there are so many parallels to what is happening to the Gaza Strip and West Bank today (2023/2024). I especially loved the discourse between Pappe and Chomsky and their similar yet differing viewpoints. Towards the end, it began to get a tad repetitive, repeating things that were mentioned earlier and briefly expanding on it. Overall, it was a great read and it allowed me to understand the Palestinian plight better, as well as understand how this "open-air prison" was only able to be created with the help of the Western powers backing Israel, or as I like to call it occupied Palestine.
