In this concise, paradigm-shifting book, Norman G. Finkelstein examines Israel’s motives, revealing a state whose repeated recourse to war is far from irrational. Rather, Israel’s attacks are designed to sabotage the possibility of a compromise peace with the Palestinians, even on favorable terms. Finkelstein also looks at the machinations surrounding the 2009 UN-sponsored Goldstone report and Turkey’s attempt to seek redress in the UN for the killing of its citizens in the 2010 attack on the Gaza freedom flotilla, documenting how Israel has eluded accountability for what are widely recognized as war crimes. He argues that, although neither side can claim clear victory in these conflicts, the stalemate is much more tolerable for Israelis than for the beleaguered citizens of Gaza. A strategy of mass non-violent protest might hold more promise for a Palestinian victory than military resistance, however brave.
