"Disposable Palestinians: Israel's Wars and Genocide in Gaza" by Bashir Abu-Manneh. My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Published in 2026.

Book description: Palestinians are undergoing another era of disposability and their existence in Palestine is in peril. "Disposable Palestinians" tackles this reality head on. It advances disposability as a key concept for understanding Israel's restructured settler colonial regime during the Oslo period. It explains how a flawed peace process becomes a war process that targets Palestinian society, and why every Israeli war since the outbreak of the second intifada in 2000 is more violent, more destructive, and consistently popular in Israel – leading to the current genocide in Gaza.

This book was very informative, and also extremely disturbing, especially given much of the world's acceptance of the ongoing genocide, and the world's complicity in it. Israel could not engage in this genocide, if the countries of the wold did not close their collective eyes to it.
