Gaza Catastrophe: The Genocide in World-Historical Perspective

"Broad yet focused, Achcar's collection of distressing and insightful essays points at the historical and political tracks that have enabled Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. Showing the linkage between the West's support of Israel's atrocious onslaught and the banalization of the global far right, Achcar does not only analyze the tragedy and interpret it. He also offers possible paths for a positive change that somewhat mitigates the bleak future that he foresees."--Amira Hass, Haaretz correspondent for the 1967 occupied territory and author of Drinking the Sea at Gaza

"A fresh and timely analysis and account of the Gaza genocide from multiple perspectives, this book offers a meticulous exploration of the meaning, connotation, background, and colonial linkages that have converged in this narrow strip of land. Gaza Catastrophe is the deepest and most thorough account that examines this genocide in connection with the Holocaust. Treating the Gaza genocide as an expected consequence of recent history, Achcar maintains historical context throughout his analysis, right up to the very last page."--Khaled Hroub, columnist and author of Hamas: A Beginner's Guide
