Books on Israel’s Occupation of Palestine

These books help put the colonization of Palestine into perspective through the Palestinian lens.

In light of the war against Palestine, it’s essential to understand the settler colonization that Israel has posed on the country in contrast to Western media propaganda. In recent weeks, Israel, in alliance with the United States, has launched thousands of bombs and missiles in Palestine, including safe routes, evacuation routes, and hospitals. According to Al-Jazeera, over 1,000 bombs are dropped daily on Gaza, killing hundreds of children and families.

Because Israel is in alliance with the U.S., you will see news headlines posing Palestine as the enemy. Western media has beckoned Israel at war despite Palestine being oppressed since the Balfour Declaration. Recent strife and disinformation on social media have grouped Hamas and all Palestinian people. Because most of us are not experts on the topic, these books will help you further understand the longtime Palestine-Israel conflict, Israel’s mega militarization, and how Palestinians have struggled to regain liberation.
