This is a thorough history of the Nakba of 1948, which goes into many details of the events.
I had been planning to read this book for quite a while, but the recent events in Palestine have pushed this reading - and many others - forward so I can fully understand the history of Palestine and Israel. The amount of parallels and similarities between the events of 1948 and 2023 is enormous. Most of the book covers the ethnic cleaning of 1948, and the patterns that I've recently witnessed on independent social media's accounts (and the silence and bias for Israel from Western media!!) are eerily similar. There is no doubt that a genocide is taking place in Gaza. We are literally repeating history, page by page.
