THEY TOLD YOU WHAT THEY WERE DOING WHILE THEY DID IT
"Blow up and flatten everything . . ." These chilling words, said by Amichai Eliyahu, a minister in the Israeli government, have been a message to the world and the people of Gaza: destroying everything—homes, businesses, lives—is justified. Even beautiful.
For fifteen months and in full view of the world, the state of Israel trapped more than two million people in a tiny strip of land and unleashed vengeance on them. The Palestinians endured a nightmare—bombed from the air, targeted by soldiers, their hospitals destroyed—and, as they are cut off from the rest of the world, the nightmare continues.
Blowing Up Everything is Beautiful is a searing indictment of the brutality and atrocities inflicted on the Palestinians of Gaza and the collaboration of powerful nations in their murder. With forensic detail and the forceful arguments of a prosecutor, James Robins details how the ongoing attempt to annihilate Gaza became the major crime of our age—and a turning point.
What happens when the moral regime of international law and human rights that protect the oppressed fails? Blowing Up Everything is Beautiful reveals a bold, radical, and independent new voice that offers a powerful reminder: all crimes cry out for justice, and if that justice fails, the crimes will no doubt happen again.
