The Punishment of Gaza

Mr Levy does not only report but able to humanise the ‘justifiable aggressions’ perpetrated against people who are trying to live a quiet lives. When the bees are constantly been aggravated, dont fault if they come back to attack you.

The recipient read it quickly and informed me it was a really good book.

Dass was uns täglich im Fernsehen gezeigt wird, ist nur eine Seite des Storys, und zwar die Seite die den "grossen" gut gefällt. Es geht hier um echte Journalismus, vom feinsten Art.Es ist tatsächlich eine kronologische Zusammenfassung von Artikeln, die das Israel-Gaza Konflikt aus eine andere Perspektive darstellt....und die ist an manche stelle grausam...Ein Buch voller Emotionen, sollte man jeder lesen der hinter Kulissen einen Einblick werfen möchte.

For the many people who back Israel unconditionally and have no concern for the Palestinian people, largely because they are so misunderstood due to being misrepresented in the news, this book is a must read. A real eye-opener, written by a Jewish person who speaks out truthfully, and he is well qualified to do so. He is also an excellent writer. I urge others to get a copy of this book and read it if they want to expand their knowledge and understanding of what has gone on for far too long in Gaza.

Written by a self-described Israeli patriot this short book covers what happened in Gaza during the years 2006 to 2009 inclusively . Each essay-like chapter is dated to it`s one-day of narrative and covers an incident not only as it happens through the author`s eyes but also put into it`s historic perspective and context. The result of this is quite extraordinary in it`s depth and feeling of being close in each case to the Palestinian participants who are all named and detailed backgrounds are given.Surely it is unprecedented for a journalist from the opposition side to become so close to his subjects under some of the war conditions that prevail throughout these chapters in a seemingly endless recital.A book I am glad to have purchased from Amazon and which has certainly enlightened me on many aspects of Israeli policy and pre-emptive actions towards the Gaza strip and it`s 1.5 million inhabitants. As Johann Hari says of the author Gideon Levy , he is perhaps the most heroic man in Israel today.
