The Gaza Strip is one of the most widely-reported regions in the world, yet misinformation about its history and its people abound. This book explains Gaza's political significance through six pivotal moments in its modern history, starting with Israel's expulsion of Palestinians in 1948 and the subsequent truncation of the region. It covers Israel's occupation of Gaza, the Palestinian national struggle, the formation of the PLO, the first intifada, the creation of the Palestinian Authority, and the rise of Hamas. The author addresses widespread historical ignorance, untangles conflicting narratives, and incorporates voices from various Palestinians, including farmers, teachers, poets, and activists. Written with clarity and compassion, it provides an important perspective for understanding Palestine today.
