The Thinking Heart: Essays on Israel and Palestine by David Grossman, David Grossman

2.0

I was honestly debating on writing a review for this book or not. It’s more flowery than I hoped it would be and often lacked factual information. While the author attempts a level of neutrality, it frequently misses the mark. It felt like the reader should be applauding the author for questioning the Israeli government and the death of innocent people simply because the author himself is Israeli. While simultaneously repeating already disproved headlines surrounding the events of October 7. For me, many of the statements made felt hollow and repetitive. I gave this two stars because I see the value in the books larger questions at hand though it read like a collection of backhanded commentary.
