Klappentext

A leading Palestinian commentator draws on a lifetime in politics and human rights advocacy to parse the Gaza genocide, and its global ramifications, in real time. Experts seeking insight on the Middle East have long turned to Mouin Rabbani, whose decades as a researcher and political analyst have included positions at the Palestinian human rights group Al Haq, the International Crisis Group, and the United Nations. Since October 2023, Rabbani has attracted a global public following as a go-to guide to Israel's destruction of Gaza and the cascading regional chaos. Whether parsing breaking news, elucidating deeper dynamics, or dispatching apologists for US and Israeli aggression, Rabbani brings rich historical perspective and a refined political judgment—all expressed in his unflappable demeanour through muscular prose and with mordant wit. Gaza Apocalypse presents Rabbani's real-time commentaries on the Gaza genocide as it unfolded. It is a record of expertise in action, as a leading Palestinian intellectual intervenes assiduously to make sense of, and inform the global movement against, an epochal catastrophe and crime.
