Beautifully written and read by accomplished American author, activist, and political analyst Phyllis Bennis, Understanding Palestine and Israel is a crucial resource for anyone seeking to grasp the realities of Palestine and Israel, making it an essential addition to the discourse surrounding peace and coexistence in the region.

On February 28, 2026, bombs fell on Tehran. The Supreme Leader was killed. Within hours, oil surged past $170 a barrel, global markets plunged, and the world stood on the edge of a wider war. This was not a sudden crisis. It was the detonation of a fuse lit decades earlier. Most people believe this conflict began in 1979 — with the Iranian hostage crisis, the birth of the Islamic Republic, and chants of “Death to America.” They are wrong.

For millennia, the Mediterranean Sea has been a global crossroads, carrying people, goods, ideas, beliefs, and conflicts across the waters. Great empires have fought to control it, great adventurers have made their fortunes on it, and great legends have been told about it.

In this first work of its kind, the author draws upon two decades of experience to lay bare the calculus, structure, and execution of Iran's foreign intelligence activities, covert actions, and unconventional warfare operations. This book reveals how the regime's shadowy work is driven by a warring mixture of rampant paranoia, unshakable greed, and cold rationality. He meticulously reveals a policy toolkit wielded for self-interest and survival, supported by strategies to eliminate opposition figures, stifle dissent, and promote defense in depth around Iran.

This landmark book, first published in 1978, remains one of the most influential books in the Social Sciences, particularly Ethnic Studies and Postcolonialism. Said is best known for describing and critiquing "Orientalism", which he perceived as a constellation of false assumptions underlying Western attitudes toward the East. In Orientalism Said claimed a "subtle and persistent Eurocentric prejudice against Arabo-Islamic peoples and their culture."

Access to water has played a pivotal role in the Israel-Palestine dispute. Israel has diverted the River Jordan via pipes and canals to build a successful modern state. But this has been at the expense of the region's cohabitants. Gaza is now so water-stressed that the United Nations has warned it could soon become uninhabitable; its traditional water source has been ruined by years of over-extraction and mismanagement, the effects exacerbated by years of crippling blockade.

While numerous books address Israel-Palestine conflict, Gaza in Crisis brings together two renowned thinkers—American activist Noam Chomsky and Israeli historian Ilan Pappé—to examine why this conflict has lasted so long, who can stop it, and how. Israel's Operation Cast Lead, a 2008 military assault on the Gaza Strip, thrust the region to the center of the discussion. With expert knowledge and deep insight, Chomsky and Pappé survey the fallout from Israel's conduct in Gaza and place it in historical context.
