I had bought this book randomly one day, wanting to look into the atrocities happening in Palestine Israel closer and after the events of the 7th October this year ... Raja Shehadeh writes very informative and emotionally about some of the most important moments in the history of this genocide. If you want to learn more about the Palestinian side in this "conflict" I would really recommend reading this book, one thing anyone can do is educate themselves even if they can't do anything else. I truly appreciate his insights as a lawyer and recounts of his own experiences, if you stand with Palestine this is a very foundational read.
