On Palestine

“On Palestine” by Ilan Pappe and Noam Chomsky is not a standard non-fiction book (even if new knowledge is of course imparted in some places), but rather a book for the Pali-activism-bubble in order to effectively implement and expand their commitment to the Palestinians. Pappe and Chomsky discuss a wide variety of possible solutions and how exactly one could implement certain demands, what one can do to change something “on the ground” and what one should avoid as an activist. I had a lot of fun reading these expert opinions & knowledge, that's why it deserves 5/5 stars 🤝❤️

Dieses Buch wurde vor 12 Jahren geschrieben und es heute zu lesen ist gleichtzeitig erschrecken - aber eben auch nicht. In den 12 Jahren hat sich nichts geändert. Nein, die Lage ist noch viel schlimmer. Wie kann ein einziges Land so viele Kriegsverbrechen begehen und ungestraft davon kommen? Auch wenn das nicht zu verstehen ist, wird es ausführlich in diesem Buch thematisiert. Free Palestine 💛🇵🇸

On Palestine is very on point without Pappé or Chomsky leaving any doubt or misunderstanding of their stances. It’s very interesting to see that not much has changed in the last years and decades and that there are very clear patterns to be observed. At the end they are making some point over and over again which is confusing. All in all I’d recommend it to anyone who either wants to start learning about Israel/Palestine or already knows about it and wants to dive deeper.
