Description: Gaza : An Inquest into Its Martyrdom, Paperback by Finkelstein, Norman G., ISBN 0520318331, ISBN-13 9780520318335, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK In its comprehensive sweep, deep probing and acute critical analysis, Finkelstein's study stands alone.'Noam Chomsky No one who ventures an opinion on Gaza . . . is entitled to do so without taking into account the evidence in this book. 'the InterceptThe Gaza Strip is among the most densely populated places in the world. More than two-thirds of its inhabitants are refugees, and more than half are under eighteen years of age. Since 2004, Israel has launched eight devastating 'operations' against Gaza's largely defenseless population. Thousands have perished, and tens of thousands have been left homeless. In the meantime, Israel has subjected Gaza to a merciless illegal blockade. What has befallen Gaza is a man-made humanitarian disaster. Based on scores of human rights reports, Norman G.Finkelstein's new bookpresents a meticulously researched inquest into Gaza's martyrdom. He shows that although Israel has justified its assaults in the name of self-defense, in fact these actions constituted flagrant violations of international law. But Finkelstein also documents that the guardians of international law'from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to the UN Human Rights Council'ultimately failed Gaza. One of his most disturbing conclusions is that,after JudgeRichard Goldstone's humiliating retraction of his UN report, human rights organizations succumbed to the Israeli juggernaut. Finkelstein's magnum opus is both a monument to Gaza's martyrs and an act of resistance against the forgetfulness of history.
