This is the book I should write a review on most, but I have not, days after finishing it. “How do I write a review for this book?” “Maybe I just don’t.” The voices bantered in my head. However, I found it was my duty to write a review to encourage everybody to open this book and read its entirety. Extremely well documented, insatiably researched, Ilan Pappe writes the Nakba down like he was there witnessing it. 20% of the book is just the mere research alone that he embarked upon for the book.

Learning about Palestine and its history is our duty to the world as a whole. Palestine cannot afford anymore hesitancy from the West, and doesn’t stand a chance against the anti-Arab messaging of the media machine. Ilan Pappe wrote this for us, for the ones who not only do not understand, but cannot understand.

10/10 a book that must be shared widely. Read it in chunks, you need a good stomach to read in detail what the Zionists and JNF inflicted upon the Palestinians.
