A review by lorgmorg
Palestine +100 by Basma Ghalayini

medium-paced

5.0

“Israel’s seventy-year programme of systemic ethnic cleansing is one long, ongoing extension of the event that took place in 1948…

This ‘ongoing Nakba’ is also continually evolving. We are forever entering new stages of it.”

- Basma Ghalayini, June 2019

Reading this book as current events unfold has been particularly chilling. Favorite stories were The Key by Anwar Hamed, and The Curse of the Mudball Kid by Mazen Maarouf.

“Can any of you prove that they are the ghosts and not us?”
