The Second Palestinian Intifada: A Chronicle of a People's Struggle: A Chronicle of a People's Struggle de Ramzy Baroud

The Second Palestinian Intifada: A Chronicle of a People's Struggle: A Chronicle of a People's Struggle

Autor Ramzy Baroud
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 sep 2006
Ramzy Baroud is a veteran journalist and former producer for Al-Jazeera TV. This is his comprehensive account of the momentous events of the last five years which shaped the political landscape not only of Palestine and Israel but of the entire Middle East region.

Addressing the most controversial issues, including the alarming escalation in suicide bombings, and the construction of the Separation Wall, he reports on the huge rate of unemployment and hunger in the Occupied Territories -- statistics so critical that NGOs compare their magnitude to African nations such as the Congo. From the brutality of the Israeli army to the ever-compromising nature of the Palestinian Authority, few are spared Baroud’s thoughtful critique.

The book is clear and concise, with one chapter dedicated to the major events of each year, and includes a comprehensive timeline.

Recenzii

'Masterful prose. ... (A) scathing but heartfelt portrait' 
Norman Finkelstein
 
'Few are spared his perceptive eye, and only the morally callous will fail to respond to his pleas to act to remedy the injustice that he exposes to our view, as we surely can.'
Noam Chomsky
'[Baroud] enables readers to see through the distorted image provided by a biased pro-Israeli Western media of the Middle East as a whole, and of Palestine in particular.'
Ilan Pappe
'[Baroud] presents a compelling narrative of Palestinian victimization without being defensive, and with no attempt at disguising internal shortcomings. In the same way, Baroud exposes Israeli culpability and international abrogation of responsibility with candor and uncompromising integrity.'
Dr. Hanan Ashrawi, Palestinian Legislator for the Jerusalem District
