Gaza in Crisis: Reflections on Israel's War Against the Palestinians by Noam Chomsky

4.0

This is an outstanding account of the history and complexities of what has led up to the crisis in Gaza. Written before the most recent period of open war, it more or less predicts it, and explains very clearly the realities of what led to the current sorry state of affairs. It's a real eye opener, because the government of the US (and to a lesser extent the UK), and much of the media, have told a very different, very cynical and very false story for a long time. If most people people knew more of this and disbelieved the spin, it's hard to see how the pressure to end the war on Gaza and the Palestinians would fail to reach an irresistible level, with the result that there would be less (or no) killing and misery in this small space of land, as well as more security and happiness for everyone in Israel.
