On Palestine

Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pappé — 2015

On Palestine is Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappe's indispensable update on a suffering region. What is the future of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement directed at Israel? Which is more viable, the binational or one state solution? Ilan Pappé and Noam Chomsky, two leading voices in the struggle to liberate Palestine, discuss these critical questions and more in this urgent and timely book, a sequel to their acclaimed Gaza in Crisis. 'Chomsky is a global phenomenon . . . he may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet' The New York Times Book Review 'Ilan Pappé is Israel's bravest, most principled, most incisive historian' John Pilger 'This sober and unflinching analysis should be read and reckoned with by anyone concerned with practicable change in the long-suffering region' Publishers Weekly (on Gaza in Crisis)

It has the element of conversational interview between Chomsky and Pappé which is really nice. It is a lot of information and history explained in as simple terms as possible covering the history, zionism, the US role and other Western countries.

This book is an amazing read for someone who is interested and wants to learn more about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Chomsky and Pappé do a great job explaining the conflict in very easy terms. Maybe some people would be skeptic to read it because of Pappé’s nationality, but they shouldn’t. It is a very insightful book, and it definitely exceeded my expectations, even though some parts of the book are quite repetitive. In my opinion, the book is very informative. Even if you don’t agree with everything stated in this book (as I sometimes did), it provides an excellent background to the conflict, which is essential to understand what is happening today (2021) in the Gaza Strip. Even though it is a “serious” book and I thought I would get bored with it, I found it very entertaining. It is really an effortless read. It definitely made me eager to know more about what is happening in Palestine. A highly engaging book, would totally recommend it!
