The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappé

challenging informative reflective slow-paced
This is such an important read, showing how the Zionist agenda was originally built upon racism, white supremacy and ethnic cleansing. Though some of this felt quite dense with a lot of names and places that didn't stick with me, the general outline and the key points are very important for everyone, particulalry in the current context in Palestine. The audiobook also made a lot of it easier to get through, and allowed me to not get bogged down in some of the details in order to get the bigger picture, which was the main thing I, personally, wanted to get from this book. I particularly appreciated the last few chapters, which reflect on the Nakba and how it is incorporated (or, more accurately, not incorporated) into Israeli history and society.
