 Following Israel’s seven-week bombing campaign and ground invasion of Gaza in the summer of 2014, polls revealed a startling fact: for the first time, a majority of Americans under30 found Israel’s actions unjustified. Jon stewart aired a blistering attack on Israeli violence, and a video of a UN spokesperson weeping as he was interviewed in Gaza went viral. This book traces this swelling American recognition of Palestinian suffering, struggle, and hope, in writing that is personal, lyrical, anguished, and inspiring.
