The Punishment of Gaza by Gideon Levy

Israel’s 2009 invasion of Gaza was a vicious act of aggression that left well over one thousand Palestinians dead and devastated the infrastructure of an already impoverished enclave.Punishment

In this searching examination of Israels policies, award-winning journalist Gideon Levy shows how the ground was prepared for the assault and documents its continuing effects. From 2005 – the year of Gaza’s liberation – through to 2009, he tracks Israels abandonment of the pretence of diplomacy in favour of a policy of provocation and raw military power, with the ultimate aim of denying Palestinians any chance of forming their own independent state.

and the Quartet of international powers for the democratic election of Hamas, Gaza has been transformed into the worlds largest open-air prison. From Gazan families struggling to cope with the random violence of Israels blockade and its targeted assassinations, to the machinations of legal experts and the continued connivance of the international community, every aspect of this ongoing tragedy is eloquently recorded and forensically analyzed. Levy’s powerful journalism shows how the brutality at the heart of Israels occupation of Palestine has found its most complete expression to date in the collective punishment of the residents of Gaza.
