About this listen

In this major work of daring criticism and analysis, scholar and political commentator Marc Lamont Hill and Israel-Palestine expert Mitchell Plitnick spotlight how holding fast to one-sided and unwaveringly pro-Israel policies reflects the truth-bending grip of authoritarianism on both Israel and the United States. Except for Palestine deftly argues that progressives and liberals who oppose regressive policies on immigration, racial justice, gender equality, LGBTQ rights, and other issues must extend these core principles to the oppression of Palestinians. In doing so, the authors take seriously the political concerns and well-being of both Israelis and Palestinians, demonstrating the extent to which US policy has made peace harder to attain.

Hill and Plitnick provide a timely and essential intervention by examining multiple dimensions of the Israeli-Palestinian conversation, including Israel's growing disdain for democracy, the effects of occupation on Palestine, the siege of Gaza, diminishing American funding for Palestinian relief, and the campaign to stigmatize any critique of Israeli occupation. Except for Palestine is a searing polemic and a cri de coeur for elected officials, activists, and everyday citizens alike to align their beliefs and politics with their values.

This book is easy to follow and provides lots of information explaining how the past lead to the presentsituation in Palestine. The overwhelming level of racism and injustice inflicted upon the Palestinian people is heartbreaking. The author does a great job of detailing the US and European complicity in establishing and perpetuating these injustices that have only increased exponentially since this book was written. The author concludes with a glimmer of hope for the future by calling on us to respect the human rights of each person involved regardless of nationality or religion.

Detailed and easy to listen to.

It’s actually relatively accurate and I would even say maybe not even controversial. I think the bigger question is how do you make peace with a neighbor that wants to kill you.

Pretty good actually

Excellent book

As Israel bombs Gaza into a landfill today we finally hear the story of a 15 year embargo, overpopulation, poverty, hunger, the oppressed rose up to become the oppressor. Both sides speak in this book, unlike most sources that tell only one. E
veryone needs a home, both Israelis and Palestinians deserve a decent home.. it is time for apartheid to end.

It's about time

This book gives a balanced narrative of very long standing conflict shedding lights on various aspects of the issue where progressive American democrats and all people of conscience around the world can play an effective active role in bringing peace into a very troubled part of the world!
It is a wise yell into a bloomy dark wilderness of nowadays world political arena!

A wise voice need to be listened to
