Klappentext

The book explores the events leading to the current genocide in Gaza and far-right Jewish settler onslaught in the occupied West Bank. Beginning with the historical background to the establishment of Israel as a settler colonial state, it examines key historical events post-1948, including the 1967 war, the Oslo Accords, the rise of Hamas, and internal Palestinian divisions in the 1990s. The book also critiques the international community's failure to hold Israel accountable for war crimes and highlights the role of U.S. administrations in obstructing a two-state solution.
