Welcome to Litsy!

I think this book title would benefit from being suffixed with "???‍♀️", as that would better represent the complexity of the vexed Israel/Palestine question.
In 2007, Sarah, an American secular Jew, took advantage of an Israeli government programme which pays for non-Israeli Jewish people to take a Birthright Tour to acquaint themselves with the country. Sarah finds some validation of her critical view of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, ⬇️

Birthright, volume 2

Two things: I‘m glad the mom finally came to her senses, and I‘m curious to learn about Mikey‘s true intentions 🤔 Overall a good volume.

Like Papergirls, I also read somewhere that this series will be adapted into a live action show. We. Shall. See. 😆....if so, then it‘d be really really cool!!

#AnglophileApril Day 12: Sarah Glidden is a Jewish-American born in Boston. This memoir is an account of her experience doing a free “birthright trip” to Israel with Melissa, another Jewish-American friend from New York. This graphic memoir shows how fear builds walls, until they become insurmountable, fed by #paranoid individuals and funds provided by well-meaning businessmen who thrive on war and discontent. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-fh6

This graphic novel follows one woman‘s travels with a tour group through Israel in 2007. I thought the subject matter was fascinating, but the negative and combative attitude of the author (and main character) was exhausting.

In this graphic travelogue, the author recounts her 60-day trip Birthright trip to Israel. This book was interesting, but I honestly prefer the work by Guy Delisle and Joe Sacco on the subject of Israel, mainly because Sarah Glidden comes across as very judgemental, which actually does a disservice to her arguments...

Birthright vol 1
About: boy gets spirited away from family and returns a year later as a full-grown adult and on a quest to stop evil

A new series I started and like so far 😉 Action, fantasy and family. Can‘t wait to read the next volumes 😉
