Ten Myths About Israel is a useful primer for people just becoming
familiar with the Palestinian liberation struggle - but it is far
more than that. It is also a valuable tool for veteran organizers
seeking to explain cogently and simply how Israel's foundational
myths and ongoing propaganda perpetuate the oppression of the
Palestinian people.
*Electronic Intifada*
This book is an absolute must for an interested public, the
political and the media class to understand what Israel is all
about.
