Description
Book SynopsisHad the pacifist International Solidarity Movement not been in Gaza at the time, the world would have been deprived of a detailed account from the inside, having instead to rely on the generalised accounts of news agencies reporting from outside the Strip. This brief yet precious volume stands alone, along with a precious few others, as a direct eye-witness account of Gaza's last bloodbath. The English edition features a new authoritative introduction by the renowned Israeli academic Ilan Pappe and further dispatches of life in Gaza eight months after Operation Cast Lead.
Trade Review"'Being Human' has been the ultimate gift of a book that ironically delivers stories of irreparable tragedy and heroism, embedded in words of selflessness and remorse from the unprecedented harsh ground realities of war torn Gaza. " Goodreads
