On Palestine




An indispensable analysis of the current challenges in one of the most troubled regions on our planet

On Palestine is Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé's indispensable update on a suffering region.

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. Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé, 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.

This urgent and timely book offers hope and a way forward for all those committed to the struggle to liberate Palestine.

On Palestine is the sequel to Chomsky and Pappé's acclaimed book Gaza in Crisis.
