"Israel: The Last Vestige of European Colonialism in the Middle East" is an in-depth examination of the historical and ongoing impact of European colonialism on the formation and expansion of Israel. Through a critical lens, this book challenges the mainstream narratives that depict Israel as the rightful homeland of the Jewish people and instead explores its colonial roots and the displacement of the indigenous Palestinian population.

The book delves into the role of European powers, from the Zionist movement's inception in the late 19th century to the political maneuvers that facilitated the establishment of Israel in 1948. It uncovers how Western support, particularly from Britain and the United States, enabled the colonization of Palestine while ignoring the rights of the native population. It also analyzes the demographic changes brought about by waves of European Jewish immigration and presents genetic evidence highlighting the European ancestry of much of the modern Israeli population.

By exploring topics such as the marginalization of non-European Jewish communities, the ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories, and the influence of Western powers, this book aims to shed light on the historical injustices and colonial dynamics that continue to shape the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Readers will be encouraged to question established narratives, understand the broader geopolitical implications, and consider the pathways to justice and accountability for the Palestinian people.
