This is the intersectional, radical view I wanted from Except for Palestine.

Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts breaks down the interconnectedness of the Palestinian liberation movement. It explains how the Palestinian movement goes hand-in-hand with anti-racist movements, anti-colonial indigenous movements, feminist movements, LGBTQIA2S+ movements, and anti-fascist movements. 

In doing so, Nada Elia also breaks down common propaganda tactics used by Zionists to defend their ideology and Israel's existence, from redwashing (Israel claiming its sovereignty is an indigenous rights issue), pinkwashing (Israel positioning itself as a safe haven in Western Asia for queer folks despite killing and discriminating against anyone who isn't a white gay man), and greenwashing (Israel taking a stance as the "vegan capital of the world" despite destroying Palestinian land and culture). I found the whole book super insightful and I learned a lot about how the Palestinian struggle connects to other movements across the globe. I appreciated Nada Elia's hard and fast stance against a two-state solution, and her argument that, as an indigenous rights issue, the only solution to the Palestinian struggle is a land-back movement similar to indigenous movements in the USA.

This was a great addition to my knowledge of Palestine that used more modern language and explored modern issues rather than focusing on the history of Palestine.

I appreciated Nada Elia's writing, she made everything feel accessible without talking down to the reader, and took her time to explain certain verbage or context that was necessary to understand her argumentation.
