Gaza is among the most densely populated places in the world.
Two-thirds of its inhabitants are refugees, and more than half the
population is under eighteen years of age. Since Israel occupied
Gaza in 1967, it has systematically de-developed the economy. After
Hamas won democratic elections in 2006, Israel intensified its
blockade of Gaza, and after Hamas consolidated its control of the
territory in 2007, Israel tightened its illegal siege another
notch. In the meantime, Israel has launched no less than eight
military operations against Gaza-culminating in Operation Cast Lead
in 2008-9 and Operation Protective Edge in 2014-that left behind
over three million tons of rubble. Recent UN reports predict that
Gaza will be unlivable by 2020. Norman G. Finkelstein presents a
meticulously researched and devastating inquest into Israel's
actions of the last decade. He argues that although Israel
justified its blockade and violent assaults in the name of
self-defense, in fact these actions were cynical exercises of
brutal power against an essentially defenseless civilian
population. Based on hundreds of human rights reports, the book
scrutinizes multifarious violations of international law Israel
committed both during its operations and in the course of its
decade-long siege of Gaza. It is a monument to Gaza's martyrs and a
scorching accusation against their tormenters.
