Blaming the Victims demonstrates with cold precision how the consistent denial of truth about the Palestinians by governments and the media in the West has led to the current impasse in the Middle East. Controversial, forceful, and above all honest, it attempts to redress a sustained crime against historical truth in order to make a more rational political future in Palestine possible.
“Blaming the Victims makes a significant contribution to the literature on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by providing documented material and insightful analyses.” — International Journal on World Peace
