The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine
A History of Settler Colonial Conquest and Resistance, 1917-2017 by Rashid Khalidi
A landmark history of one hundred years of war waged against the Palestinians from the foremost US historian of the Middle East, told through pivotal events and family history.
@ymishory @appassionato @bookstodon @palestine Do you for one moment think that things can go on like this inside Israel, for Israel? It’s unsustainable. Let go or be dragged. I look at Israel and I see a deranged and genocidal nation.
@anantagd @appassionato @bookstodon @palestine
In a way you’re right. We can debate the fine details, but the observation is valid to some extent.
How does that help us? Is the solution to wait a few decades and hope for Gandalf to come and steer history in the right direction?
@ymishory @appassionato @bookstodon @palestine I guess it means that Israel in its present form won’t exist for much longer.
@anantagd @appassionato @bookstodon @palestine
So… do nothing and wait? Easy enough.
@ymishory @appassionato @bookstodon @palestine That’s what’s happening now isn’t it? Or no, rather, Israel’s genociding is generously funded by the USA and morally justified by most “civilized nations” that claim that the Israelis are the victim here because they’re jewish and it’s kind of an ethnic thing. Just outrageous. Meanwhile the contracts on the natural gas exploration just off the coast of Gaza have been signed. So. [shrugs shoulders]

I have not always seen that when I look at Israel, but it’s definitely what I see this month and last.
