'Roy is humanely and professionally committed in ways that are unmatched by any other non-Palestinian scholar' - Edward W. Said



Gaza, the centre of Palestinian nationalism and resistance to the occupation, is the linchpin of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the key to its resolution. Since 2005, Israel has deepened the isolation of the territory, severing it almost completely from its most vital connections to the West Bank, Israel and beyond, and has deliberately shattered its economy, transforming Palestinians from a people with political rights into a humanitarian problem.

Sara Roy unpacks this process, looking at US foreign policy towards the Palestinians, as well as analysing the trajectory of Israeli policy toward Gaza, which became a series of punitive approaches meant not only to contain the Hamas regime but weaken Gazan society.

Roy also reflects on Gaza's ruination from a Jewish perspective and discusses the connections between Gaza's history and her own as a child of Holocaust survivors. This book, a follow up from the renowned Failing Peace, comes from one of the world's most acclaimed writers on the region.

Industry Reviews

'Roy is humanely and professionally committed in ways that are unmatched by any other non-Palestinian scholar'

-- Edward W. Said

'Roy is the leading researcher and most widely respected academic authority on Gaza today'

-- Bruce Bennett Lawrence, Nancy and Jeffrey Marcus Humanities Professor of Religion at Duke University

'A compelling study that continues the author's investigation of the dehumanising and destabilising effects of the Israeli occupation on Palestinian politics and society. Essential reading for those intent on understanding both the causes and the consequences of this conflict'

-- Irene Gendzier, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Political Science at Boston University and author of 'Development Against Democracy' (Pluto, 2017)

'For several decades, Sara Roy has been bringing her unique moral authority to bear on the searing injustice that continues to be Palestine. This indispensable collection confronts us all with the inhuman conditions of life for the people of Gaza, tempered by the courage with which Roy explores it, her insistence on the unbreakable link between Jewishness and justice, and her ultimate faith in the resilience of the Palestinian people'

-- Jacqueline Rose, Professor of Humanities at the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities

'Offers a unique and insightful perspective'

-- 'Washington Report on Middle East Affairs'

'Compelling'

-- 'Morning Star'
