The world has been horrified by the escalating violence across Israel and Palestine. But as the headlines clamor to report from the front lines of various atrocities, it can often be difficult to unpick and understand the painful and knotted context of this crisis. I have been trying to read about the crisis in detail through books; one such book is Gaza in Crisis

Noam Chomsky is widely regarded to be one of the foremost critics of US foreign policy in the world. He has published numerous groundbreaking books, articles, and essays on global politics, history, and linguistics. Since 2003 he has written a monthly column for the New York Times syndicate. He has been an advocate for Palestine for so long.


In Gaza in Crisis, Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé, two of the issue’s most insightful and prominent critical voices, survey the fallout from Israel’s conduct in Gaza and place it in the context of Israel’s longstanding occupation of Palestine. It is important to have your history correctly understood.

It is the essential guide to understanding the shifting situation. Genocide is the only word that can express the horror Gaza is facing. We are all in this together. #freepalestine

I would ask all of you to recommend books to read to understand the Israel-Palestine conflict in the comment section. Feel free to download the PDF version of the book. Click here
