wildestfire wrote a review...
Palestine has always been constantly spoken of ever since I was born in our household. My very first best friend and neighbor was a Palestinian. My grandparents briefly lived in Palestine for my grandfather's work. My father's friends consisted of many Palestinians.
I have not known a world without Palestine, but I hope and pray that I can introduce my children to a free Palestine.
Edward Said does a brilliant job of explaining the question of Palestine, mainly to the West. He dives into the media hypocrisy, Israel painting Palestinians as terrorists, about how the massacres that lead up to Palestinians reacting in self defense are always dismissed and redacted, and so the world can only see that it is the Arab Palestinians that are the problem.
I recently had a small argument with a white woman on the internet defending her favorite actor and I realized that it is time consuming to explain an issue to someone who has no education on the topic and so instead, I asked her to read this book. She did not respond but I hope she considered it. It's a very informative read if you want to learn and understand what is it like to be removed from your own land.
The sad part is, not a lot has changed. Except that, yes, Israel is getting the hate it deserves.
