Gaza: An Inquest Into Its Martyrdom, Finkelstein Norman G.

In its comprehensive sweep, deep probing and acute critical analysis, Finkelsteins study stands alone.--Noam Chomsky

No one who ventures an opinion on Gaza . . . is entitled to do so without taking into account the evidence in this book.
--The Intercept

What has befallen Gaza is a man-made humanitarian disaster.

Based on scores of human rights reports, Norman G. Finkelsteins new book presents a meticulously researched inquest into Gazas martyrdom. He shows that although Israel has justified its assaults in the name of self-defense, in fact these actions constituted flagrant violations of international law.

But Finkelstein also documents that the guardians of international law--from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to the UN Human Rights Council--ultimately failed Gaza. One of his most disturbing conclusions is that, after Judge Richard Goldstones humiliating retraction of his UN report, human rights organizations succumbed to the Israeli juggernaut.
