The Drone Eats with Me: A Gaza Diary by Atef Abu Saif

emotional informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

As the recently assassinated (by Israel) poet Rafaat Alareer wrote, let it be a tale.

If you're someone who values human life and has read volumes of human stories of the holocaust to bear witness, please extend your humanity to another and read this book about a genocide we can still stop.

I will add to this, but the final editor's note in 2015 mentions the oil and gas reserve found off Gaza's coast as being reason to fear further US supported Israeli aggression. And look what happened in 2018, 2021 and 2023. The US and Israel won't stop. We have to stop it. Everyone who has read Anne Frank or any other war diary and thought never again- we have that responsibility to other humans.
