Brief Bibliography on Gaza Genocide/History of Zionism, etc.
October 18, 2024
___________________________________________________
This brief bibliography was requested by a Palestinian friend who has gotten requests for more information on the subject. It is not meant to be exhaustive. If you think there are other sources – books, websites, etc that would be helpful to new comers interested in probing the history of Zionism and Palestinian national resistance to it, please let me know and I will add them to this list.

Books:
Rashid Khaledi – anything by him is good but especially “The Hundred Years War on Palestine“
Norman Finkelstein – also his books are excellent – he is all over the internet, serious very diligent scholar but especially “Gaza: Inquest into its martyrdom“
Edward Said – “The Question of Palestine“, remains in my view, despite its age, the best overall coverage of Israel/Palestine. Included is a more extensive list of his books.
Ilon Pappe – “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine” – (this one by an Israeli scholar who now lives in UK)
For the Syke-Picot agreement – The Peace to End All Peace by David Fromkin.
Nom Chomsky’s “The Fateful Triangle” – while 40 years old, I still consider it the best overall explanation of U.S. policy towards Israel, the Arabs and the Question of Palestine.
Helena Cobban & Rami G. Khouri “Understanding Hamas and why That Matters”, by Helena Cobban & Rami G. Khouri, 2024
Marc Lamont Hill & Mitchell Plitnick “Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics“, 2021

More contemporary sources – web pages, etc.
Sources worth listening to:
EuroMed Human Rights Monitor
Excellent human rights monitor for Palestine (and other countries). Sober and serious analyses, updates on human rights situation in Gaza.
The Electronic Intifada
Palestinian sources including reporters from Gaza. These folks (there are four of them) really know their stuff; their analysis is serious, controlled and they are rarely off the mark.
The Anti-Empire Project
Over the past year I find myself listening more and more to Justin Podur. I appreciate both the tone and the content of his analyses. Very sharp and knows the history of the Palestinian Resistance as well as anyone.
M.K.Bhadrakumar.. He publishes at a site called “Indian Punchline”
A former diplomat from India, M.K. Bhadrakumar is one of the sharpest geopolitical analysts out there. He covers not only the Middle East, but global geo-politics as well.
Judge Napolitano’s “Judging Freedom”.
“The Judge” is a quite conservative host – used to be a regular on Fox News. To my surprise, I find his interviews excellent and it includes a wide range of experts, my favorite by far is former British Intelligence Agent Alastair Crooke whose understanding of the current crisis in Gaza, Israeli-Palestinian relations is, in my view, second to none.
“the Judge” also interviews Scott Ritter, Aaron Mate, “The Greeks” as I call them – Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou and many others.
