Gaza Decimation: New Book by Finkelstein
Usaid Siddiqui. “Book Review: Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom.” The New Arab. 28 Feb., 2018.
Norman Finkelstein’s work is an incisive guide to Gaza’s destruction, offering crucial analysis rarely found in the western media, writes Usaid Siddiqui.
A July 2017 Amnesty International report raised the alarm over Gaza, calling attention to the deteriorating conditions in the besieged territory, which was witnessing the rapid collapse of its health system, and what it described as “crisis point”. In unambiguous terms, the report singled out Israel’s “brutal land, sea and air blockade” responsible for the mass suffering of Gaza’s residents. . . .
In his latest book, “Gaza: an inquest into its martyrdom”, the renowned academic and long-time critic of Israel is at his incisive best in detailing the unbearable suffering brought upon Palestinians in Gaza. He describes his book as not about Gaza, but one exposing what has been done to Gaza. . . . MORE https://www.newarab.com/opinion/book-review-gaza-inquest-its-martyrdom
Where’s the Profit in Diplomacy?
Christian Sorenson. Understanding the War Industry. Clarity P, 2019.
The War Industry infests the American economy like a cancer, sapping its strength and distorting its creativity while devouring its treasure. Stunning in the depth of its research, Understanding the War Industry documents how the war industry commands the other two sides of the military-industrial-congressional triangle. It lays bare the multiple levers enabling the vast and proliferating war industry to wield undue influence, exploiting financial and legal structures, while co-opting Congress, academia and the media. Spiked with insights into how corporate boardrooms view the troops, overseas bases, and warzones, it assiduously delineates how corporations reap enormous profits by providing a myriad of goods and services devoted to making war, which must be rationalized and used if the game is to go. . . .
