People watched in horror as Israel responded to the terrible acts of October 7, 2023 with a brutal war against the people of Gaza. They demanded a ceasefire and protested the U.S. government financing, arming, and protecting Israel’s war. A key question was when to start the clock — because none of those events actually began on October 7; all had their origins in events many years earlier.
In straightforward, accessible language Phyllis Bennis takes on that question — and more — providing answers to many questions about this ongoing confict. What is the Balfour Declaration? What are the Occupied Territories? What is Zionism — and do all Jews support it? Does Israel have the right of self-defense? What were conditions like in Gaza before October 7? [Adapted from publisher’s description.]
