Just through the authors note and partway through chapter 1 and I'm already really moved by how insightful, clear-eyed, confrontational, poetic, and raw his writing is. I will come back to add more of substance later, hopefully.

Talking about how Palestinian men are treated as worthy of killing while the women and children are stripped of all agency, as if the women and children don't want and need their men, their fathers, their uncles, their brothers, their sons, alive.

Talking about how the focus is not just on "civilians" but on fighters as well, because Palestinian fighters deserve to live. Their fight is righteous, justice is on their side, and I love how he already counters the genocidal idea that people who defend themselves from colonization and genocide deserve to die for defending themselves.
