Long ago I read a handful of books about modern day Israel, its history and difficulties. One of the an authors was Ilan Pappe, and I believe Chomsky may have been another. This book, published in 2023, is an excellent follow-up.
On Palestine by Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pappé,
and Frank Barrat

Ratingi – 10 / (amd read twice
(Both read and listened 2x)
And as annoyed (scared, angry, etc.) as I am now with the world situation and the US situation I know there are plenty of very intelligent people who agree with me and my views. This time the problem is not of the Palestinian making – nor is it the job of the US to fix things. It just feels to me that Frank Barrat (An author here) has it right.

Operation Protective Edge, Israel’s 2014 assault on Gaza, left thousands of Palestinians dead and cleared the way for another Israeli land grab. The need to stand in solidarity with Palestinians has never been greater. Ilan Pappe and Noam Chomsky, two leading voices in the struggle to liberate Palestine, discuss the road ahead for Palestinians and how the international community can pressure Israel to end its human rights abuses against the people of Palestine.
And now … here we are in June 2025 and virtually nothing about the basic conflict and/or strategies/tactics has changed from the 2014 event or the 2020 essays. The only thing is that it’s been mixed up a bit more with Trump and company plus Iran. The situation is not good.
