Understanding Palestine & Israel by Phyllis Bennis
If you have ever wondered 'Why is there so much violence in the Middle East?', 'Who are the Palestinians?', 'What are the occupied territories?' or 'What does Israel want?', then this is the book for you. With straightforward language, Phyllis Bennis, longtime analyst of the region, answers basic questions about Israel and Israelis, Palestine and Palestinians, the US and the Middle East, Zionism and anti-Semitism; about complex issues ranging from the Oslo peace process to the election of Hamas to the Goldstone Report and the Palestinians' UN initiatives. Together her answers provide a comprehensive understanding of the longstanding relationship between Palestine and Israel. This new edition will cover an in-depth history of events, bringing readers right up to the catastrophe beginning on October 7th, 2023.
