For the Palestinians who reside in the small coastal remove of Gaza, the Israeli invasion of Dec 2008 was a headache of unimaginable proportions: In the 22-day-long action, 1,400 Gazans were killed, several hundred on the first day exclusively. And yet, while little or nothing should reduce Palestinian coping with those frightful times, it is possible something redemptive is emerging from the tragedy of Gaza. For, as Norman Finkelstein details, in a concise work that melds frosty anger with cool analysis, the profound injustice of the Israeli assault was more popular by bodies that it's impossible to brand as partial or extremist. Amnesty International, Individuals Rights Watch, and the UN investigation going by Richard Goldstone, in documenting Israel's use of indiscriminate and intentional power against the civilian population through the invasion (100 Palestinians died for every one Israeli), have had an impact on longstanding support for Israel. Jews in both Unites States and the uk, for instance, have begun to voice dissent, and this trend is particularly apparent on the list of young. Such a switch, Finkelstein contends, can create new pressure with the capacity of moving the center East turmoil towards a remedy, one which embraces justice for Palestinians and Israelis similarly. This release has been revised throughout and includes an extensive afterword on the Israeli harm on the Gaza Flexibility Flotilla, which led to the fatalities of nine activists and additional strained the loyalty of several of Israel's traditional allies throughout the world. In addition, it contains a brand new appendix in which Finkelstein dissects the official Israeli investigation of the flotilla harm.
