Great compilation of recent articles by two prodigious commentators on the crisis in the Gaza Strip. Very good selection of writings, and a good primer for those who would like a better picture of what's happened in Gaza and Palestine in general in the past 10 years as well as the situation's historical roots. The only thing I found lacking was the interview of the authors - Chomsky and Pappe have some points of contention between them on issues such as the one-state versus two-state solution and BDS as a tactic (not to mention Pappe's insistence that effective change in Palestine will come through the form of a political party), but the questions asked are answered by each in turn and never in the form of a dialogue. Books such as these - and there are a number - also make me ask why we so often turn to authors who are not Palestinian to talk about and analyze the conflict. I think the analysis presented in this book is sharp and accurate, but I will be adding more books by Arab authors to my reading list in the future. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
This "succinct and eye-opening collection of recent interviews and essays [presents] sober and unflinching analysis" of Gaza's humanitarian crisis (Publishers Weekly). While numerous books address Israel-Palestine conflict, Gaza in Crisis brings together two renowned thinkers-American activist Noam Chomsky and Israeli historian Ilan Pappé-to examine why this conflict has lasted so long, who can stop it, and how. Israel's Operation Cast Lead, a 2008 military assault on the Gaza Strip, thrust the region to the center of the discussion. With expert knowledge and deep insight, Chomsky and Pappé survey the fallout from Israel's conduct in Gaza and place it in historical context. This revised and expanded edition includes a new essay by Pappé called "The Ten Mythologies of Israel," originally written for the New York session of the Russell Tribunal on Palestine. Also included is Chomsky's incisive essay "'Exterminate All the Brutes': Gaza 2009" and a dialogue between the two writers on "The Ghettoization of Palestine.".
