It is factual book, rarely does he insert opinion.
This is not true, Gil.
The book attempts to present itself as a “documented” and fact-based account. However, it is selective and misleading to serve a political and ideological advocacy for Israel’s occupation-centered vision. for example: The legal palestinian rights (as endorsed by international laws) are typically presented through the lens of “security problems” or “conflict management,” rather than as the story of a people living under an illegal occupation, displacement, and coercion conditions that have been explicitly addressed in many United Nations resolutions.
For the sake of understanding what is really going on, I would recommend reading works by prominent intellectuals like Noam Chomsky (The Fateful Triangle) ، the Israeli academic Ilan Pappe: (A History of Modern Palestine- Cambridge University Press) , (Ten Myths About Israel) or (The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine) or the academic and son of Holocaust survivors Norman Finkelstein's books (Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict) to get a non-ideological perspective.
