What is the history of Israel and Palestine?
There’s no easy place to start with the history of Israel and Palestine, but one clear period begins with the British Mandate of Palestine and the Balfour Declaration in 1917. In Tom Segev’s book, he explores the period before the establishment of the state of Israel.
Is it possible to become involved in Palestine without being Palestinian?
Once you become involved with Palestine, even if you’re not Palestinian, you can’t abandon it. Your first book, Edward Said’s After the Last Sky, is all about exile. It’s one of my favourite books by the author. I even prefer it to his memoir, Out of Place.
What are the best books to read about Gaza?
Your next book, Footnotes in Gaza, is by the cartoonist and journalist Joe Sacco. This is an amazing, graphic and emotional book. Sacco writes about the massacres carried out by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip in 1956. He completed the book in 2003 so it resonates with the present. It’s really about memory: how it can fool you and change things.
