In the ensuing carnage and firefights, 1,200 Israelis were killed and hundreds more taken hostage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIsrael’s retaliation turned the besieged enclave into a howling wasteland. Nearly 20,000 people were killed in two months, including more than 7,000 children, and over 60 percent of homes were damaged or destroyed. Israel targeted the wounded and infirm, newborns and near-dead, as Gaza’s healthcare system—hospitals, clinics, ambulances, medical personnel—came under a systematic attack unprecedented in the annals of modern warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Hamas massacre and the Israeli extermination campaign which followed together mark a historic turning point in the Israel-Palestine conflict. The reverberations have also shaken politics far beyond, not least in Europe and the United States, where gigantic, round-the-clock protests for Palestinian rights pitted politicians against the public and exposed a growing statist authoritarianism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn this groundbreaking book—the first published about the 2023 Gaza war—leading Palestinian, Israeli, and international authorities put these momentous developments in context and provide an initial taking-stock.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhy did Hamas attack? What is Israel trying to achieve? Did this catastrophe have to happen? And is there a way forward? The book’s expert contributors address these and other questions, which have never been more urgent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCopyright\u003c\/strong\u003e: © 2024 Jamie Stern-Weiner\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudiobook Release Date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\/3\/2024\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRunning Time\u003c\/strong\u003e: 07:31:20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781965655191\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LINDIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47324169699479,"sku":"9781965655191","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/9540\/8023\/files\/9781965655191__32418.jpg?v=1773525280","url":"https:\/\/lindie.net\/products\/deluge","provider":"Lantern Indie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
