    I hope not to divert the discussion, but I have a question. I haven’t really explored Finkelstein’s work. Is he considered worthwhile? What are your thoughts?

      Personally I know of no better authority on Isn’trael-Palestine. He dedicated almost all of his decades of scholarship to it.

      Gaza: An Inquest Into its Martyrdom is hands down the best book on the siege on Gaza - one of the best non-fiction books I’ve read period.

      he’s really an excellent writer, and it’s exhaustively sourced. I read it years ago and I still regularly cite it, it’s like the Bible for this ‘conflict’.

      The Holocaust Industry is another great one - he writes about the weaponization of the Holocaust and of anti-semitism.
