About the Book

A collection of personal essays that explore the larger historical and political context of Israel and Palestine, and discuss the distinction between Zionism and Judaism. “No revolutionary histrionics and dramatic heroism,” Ilan Pappe writes in his foreword, “this book is a powerful example of a road many more will take in the future.”
