How terror was used by Zionist militias to transform Palestine into an apartheid settler state.
The Israel-Palestine "conflict" is typically understood to be a clash between two ethnic groups-Arabs and Jews-inhabiting the same land. Thomas Suarez digs deep below these preconceptions and their supporting "narratives" to expose something starkly different: The violent take-over of Palestine by a European racial-nationalist settler movement, Zionism, using terror to assert by force a claim to the land that has no legal or moral basis.
Drawing extensively from original source documents, many revealed here for the first time, Suarez interweaves secret intelligence reports, newly-declassified military and diplomatic correspondence, and the terrorists' own records boasting of their successes. His shocking account details a litany of Zionist terrorism against anyone in their way-the indigenous Palestinians, the British who had helped establish Zionism, and Jews who opposed the Zionist agenda.
Far from being isolated atrocities by rogue groups, the use of terror was deliberate and sustained, carried out or supported by the same leaders who then established and led the Israeli state. We are still living this history: The book proves that Israel's regime of Apartheid against the Palestinians and the continued expropriation of their country are not the result of complex historical circumstances, but the intended, singular goal of Zionism since its beginning.
Industry Reviews
"Using compelling and detailed historical documentation Suarez ... excels in recounting many moments of Zionist terror throughout history that might not be as well known to the general reader ... Palestine Hijacked is here to remind us that Zionist terror was there from before the establishment of the state, that it continued, and that it is still ongoing, until we stop it."--Jonathan Ofir, Mondoweiss
"Israel's depopulation of 560 towns and villages could not have been accomplished without a campaign of massacres, well planned by date, region, unity of purpose, and method. Nor is Israel's use of terror in its foundation, doctrine, and ongoing daily practice strictly military: Su?rez documents this terror in its myriad dimensions. No detractor can dispute its findings. Of the rare books that focus on Israel's policy of terror, Palestine Hijacked is singularly powerful. This is an eye-opener, a must-read to clear the fog of deliberate deception used to shield Israel's crimes against Palestine."--Salman Abu Sitta, Founder and President of Palestine Land Society and author of Mapping My Return: A Palestinian Memoir
