On Palestine | Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pappe
6 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
Operation Protective Edge, Israel's most recent assault on Gaza, left thousands of Palestinians dead and cleared the way for another Israeli land grab. The need to stand in solidarity with Palestinians has never been greater. Ilan Pappé and Noam Chomsky, two leading voices in the struggle to liberate Palestine, discuss the road ahead for Palestinians and how the international community can pressure Israel to end its human rights abuses against the people of Palestine. On Palestine is the sequel to their acclaimed book 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. His recent books include Masters of Mankind and Hopes and Prospects. Haymarket Books recently released updated editions of twelve of his classic books. Ilan Pappé is the bestselling author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine: A History of Modern Palestine and The Israel/Palestine Question. Frank Barat is a human rights activist and author. He was the coordinator of the Russell Tribunal on Palestine and is now the president of the Palestine Legal Action Network. His books include Freedom is a Constant Struggle, Gaza in Crisis, Corporate Complicity in Israel's Occupation, and On Palestine.

Israel has killed over 120 kids per day on average since the 7th of October; over 100 of the kids killed never reached 1 year old.

The cycle of violence perpetrated by Israel has to stop. It's not antisemitic to ask that Israel is held responsible for their crimes against humanity. We need more than cease fire, we need accountability for this to stop. Please, inform yourself about the past so we don't continue to make the same mistakes.

Sequel to Gaza in Crisis,that was more centered on US politics,while this one is more on Zionism.It gives context to the conflict and Israel's policies, explains the never ending cycle:Israel attacks-ceasefire-Palestine abides by it,Israel doesn't-Palestine attacks-Israel responds as if it was an isolated incident,kills more people,grabs more land,the rest of the world looks the other way.Repeat.An interesting read that will leave you heartbroken

nanuska_153 It was written in 2015 but it could have been written today, or sadly probably in 10 years time. Pappé provides an interesting insight considering he is born and raised in Israel so he really knows what he is talking about when he talks about Israel's brainwashing of its people; while Chomsky provides an interesting insight from the US point of view, that is relevant since one could not exist without the other. 5mo
Darklunarose This. So many people do not know this. They are so settled into what they think is going on they don‘t take the time to learn what is really going on. 5mo
nanuska_153 @Darklunarose exactly,it's shocking that when we have so much information to hand some people just let media and governments dictate their views without putting any critical thinking onto it.We're talking about things that happened during our lifetime more than once and so many people still believe Israel's narrative.I'm afraid that even those who don't,they think that ceasefire is the goal,it should be making Israel accountable for their crimes 5mo

This was written in 2014,it could have been written today,just multiply the Palestinian victims.Back in 2014,Chomsky wrote "for the past 14 years, the norm is that Israel kills more than two Palestinian children a week".After almost a decade we see over 4,000 Palestinian kids killed in less than a month.All of us have their blood in our hands,together with the blood of so many women and men that didn't deserve a life of imprisonment,loss and death

nanuska_153 To put it on perspective: my local school has about 1,000 students; you'd have to kill every student of 4 local schools to reach those numbers. In only a month. Think about that when you are dropping your kids to school 5mo

Written in 2015 but still incredibly relevant to what‘s occurring in Palestine. It was a quick read (204 pages) that‘s describes the past, then present, and future of Palestine. I highly recommend for those interested in learning more Palestine. 🇵🇸
