Good for providing context to current events, especially the extreme effort Israel has made to disenfranchise and eliminate the Palestinian people.

painful and depressing to read because of how resonant it still is. so much has happened geopolitically since this book’s publication and yet the plight and profile of the palestinians remains the same. it is still taught as historical fiction if taught. it is still disguised as anti-semitism when israel is criticized. yet palestinians are still as incredibly united and dedicated to liberation as they were in this book despite an increased diaspora.

This is an excellent and must read on the conflict, but it is very academic, I should warn you. It reads like a textbook rather than human interest, so it is hard to get into, but it is worth the trouble.
There is a section devoted to debunking the lies in From Time Immemorial, which is enlightening to say the least, even if you haven't read the book because those lies are repeated over and over by the 'Israel can do no wrong' crowd.
This is a great explanation of the often neglected Palestinian point of view. The Israeli position is always well supported, understood and explained in our media and government; you will be a step ahead of the majority by reading this book since you will know both sides.
In a world where criticism of Israel = anti-Semitism, you have to do yourself a favor and read this book!

I’m somewhat ashamed that it took me two months to finish this, especially since it’s relatively less daunting than other academic texts I’ve tried to pick up. However, I’m really glad I did take my time reading The Question of Palestine, to just process everything I read and relate it to what I already know.
It’s just incredibly relevant and poignant even forty years after it was first published.
