This is a critical read especially given the shit show we are seeing play out daily in Palestine. For those who are anti colonialism read this. For those who don’t believe Palestinians read this. I do not like reading about or learning about “history”.  I get bored and can’t identify with it so for me to recommend this book is a big deal. The structure of the book is excellent because at the beginning of each chapter is an expository analysis of what the subsequent stories/interviews will be. This allowed me to digest the info twice and in different ways which helped me understand the material better. 
Main takeaways: what Israel is doing today is not new. They did this to Palestinians time and time again historically. They are working out of a play book. 
They way they attack the Palestinians and then push them out and take over their homes is identical to what they are doing now. The Zionist Jews terrorized Palestinians. Period.
It’s just massacre upon massacre upon massacre. 
Basically the creation of Israel is just an extension of Western imperialism and it’s disgusting. Folks are brainwashed and not allowed to know the truth because that would disrupt the colonial plans. 
Everyone needs to read this.
