If you’re like me, and you didn’t know a whole lot about the *actual* history between Israel and Palestine, I highly recommend picking up this informative, dark, and yet strangely hopeful book.
It is written by Ilan Pappé, an Israeli Historian who writes with cutting truth about the situation that has been unfolding since 1917. It exposes the hidden darkness behind the Zionist belief system, and analyses the multiple different battles (though battles makes it seem as though there was a fair playing field) with a blinding floodlight, laying it the facts in an incredibly accessible way.
In addition to all that, the narrator for the audiobook was excellent. they were extremely engaging, and kept me hooked for the audiobook’s entirety!
I highly recommend this one for anyone seeking to know more about Palestine.

Absolutely essential reading always and right now - shocking how much has stayed the same in the almost 2 decades since this was written.

Not rating non fiction especially something that talks about the genocide of Palestinians.
