On Palestine

One of the greatest, most radical public thinkers of our time, Chomsky is an intellectual superstar and Ilan Pappé is Israel's bravest, most principled and most incisive historian. Here are their own opinions in an indispensable update on a suffering region. Operation Protectives 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 and here two leading voices in the struggle to liberate Palestine discuss the road ahead and how the international community can pressure Israel to end its human rights abuses against Palestinians. The two professors share their intellect in this incredibly timely and challenging original investigation of a question that is emblematic of what is wrong with the world, the role played by Western states, the complicity of corporations and various institutions and the fact that Israel actually benefits from violating International Law.
