The Question of Palestine [Said, Edward W.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Question of Palestine

Review: Essential Reading at this moment - Every Westerner who professes an opinion on Israel and Palestine must read this book. It will clear the mind of them indoctrination, whether in Hebrew School or from the US government, western intellectuals and the mass media. Israel is clearly the Last Colonial Project of the dying imperial West, and Israel was never "a land without a people for a people without a land." Said recognizes the facts on the ground, both in them original edition and this books preface and epilogue. Israel is not going anywhere, but neither is the Palestinian nation. Their must be land for peace in a movement toward conciliatory coexistence untinge by racist or religious hatred.
Review: Taking Sides - Does the fact that I am an Israeli Jew living in Israel mean that I should reject this book ? Does the fact that I think the book is crucially important mean that I am "taking sides" ? I believe otherwise. I found this book to be very important, as it is an account of a Palestinian - an admittedly interested party in the conflict. Said knows about the Jews and Zionism much more than most Israeli Jews know about the Palestinians. But of course - Said is never "objective" - he himself is a refugee, who describes the side of Zionism as he and many others like him experienced. Said shows surprising understanding of Zionism - he even says that one cannot compare the situation in Israel to that which existed in South Africa. He says that things here are more complicated. Said acknowledges the achievements of Zionism as far as Jews are concerned, another surprise. I felt a deep passion for peace and compromise in this book - I believe that the author accepts the reality of a Jewish state in Israel. However, Said points out that no such peace can be achieved as long as Palestinian dreams are constantly shattered or ignored. There are two sides to this story - I am on one and Said is on the other. Still, this book is important because it acknowledges the existance of two sides, and thus provides a road to conciliation that is so important to all of us. I think every Jew and every Paelstinian should read this book, and so should evreybody with a serious interest in our troubled piece of land.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Question of Palestine
*by M***R on May 28, 2021*

Excellent book. Central to all his essays and books regarding the Palestinian tragedy, this book sets forth a number of quite logical arguments which aim to support in 1979, the the human and civil rights of the Palestinians. Though written in 1977-8, and published in 1979, Said's arguments and reasoning are totally relevant for today. Since 1948, since the beginning of the State of Israel, he argues, the Palestinians have been systematically denied the most basic human and civil rights within that State, and even more, made invisible as a people, whose appeals and claims for equity and simple decency are, still, marginalized if not ignored by most of US politicians and media executives. I recommend this book for anyone who wishes to become acquainted with the Palestinian people, and their still-defied appeals for humane treatment, as human beings and co-citizens with Jews, in the State of Israel.
