4.0
This guy is ruthless. He actually uses facts and logic to destroy ppl’s arguments to a point that it’s sad. In fact, he is so thorough in destroying people that the book got boring at some points. Like straight up pages after pages of him enumerating the errors of other authors. If you want to read a book exposing myths that have been perpetuated by important writing regarding the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict, this is the book for you. This guy is a menace I wouldn’t wanna start a fight with him he’d find out my deepest secrets and expose me. Final rating : 4/5

This was an incredible work on the part of the author. He clearly did an immense amount of research and I really enjoyed the attention to detail and time given to carefully deconstruct various arguments. I found this book to be an excellent background on the history of Israel-Palestine and its structure lent itself greatly to deconstructing pro-Israel propaganda on the internet.
As someone interested in more social aspects of history, the sheer amount of numbers and dates discussed was a little overwhelming for me. I also had a hard time following because I really don't know much at all about Middle Eastern history. These are all personal qualms though and have much more to do with me than the author, so I certainly don't want to dissuade anyone from reading this book!
