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.

Phyllis Bennis tracks the rise of U.S. unilateralism and the doctrine of preemptive war, looking particularly at Iraq and Israel/Palestine, and examines both the potential and the challenges ahead in reclaiming the U.N. as part of the global peace movement.
