One of the most important book I've read in recent years, which should be mandatory reading for everyone at this point in time.

The way Mohammed El-Kurd unflinchingly addresses everything wrong with the coverage of the genocide is eye-opening and angering. I particularly appreciated that, beyond the actions of the media and Israel, he also criticizes the participation of the "left" and other seemingly well-meaning people in their farce and how that never ends up serving anything other than the interests of the colonizers.

It is also beautifully written, and many of the information will stick with me and help me better interact with the news we're being fed.

Those asking what happens to the settlers, have not once thought about the fate of the 6 million palestinians refugees agonizing in exile. [...] Such distracting questions feed the discursive loop that prioritizes the settlers' theoretical future over our material present that is already marked with extermination.

Even if, even if my dreams were your worst nightmares, who are you to rob me of my sleep?
