This book is an exhaustive and comprehensive guide to the history of the state of Palestine.
This narrative speaks both personally, objectively and critically about the plight of the Palestinian people and its politics from a perspective that is rarely heard. The perspective of a Palestinian who was involved in government through familial lines. Khalidi does NOT praise the actions of the Palestinian government but paints a cohesive picture of how the decisions of both the Israeli and Palestinian governments resulted in the ongoing genocide we see today.
Reviews (such as Tom R’s) are clearly attempts to discredit and discourage audiences from reading from a perspective that gives Palestinians humanity. These types of reviews are created with an agenda in mind to discourage and close off minds, hearts and perspectives as well as discourage others from learning about an honest and accurate account of Palestinian history, politics and humanity.
