Gaza catastrophe : the genocide in world-historical perspective / Gilbert Achcar. 2508 Oakland, California : University of California Press, 2025. 248 pages text txt rdacontent unmediated n rdamedia volume nc rdacarrier "The destruction rained on Gaza has been seen and accepted by many as a vengeful overreaction to the reckless Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023. This book, however, argues that the new catastrophe befalling the Palestinian people is the culmination of a decades-long pattern that runs parallel with Israel's inexorable shift to the right. It also contends that Gaza was the final nail in the coffin of the Atlanticist "international liberal order" before Donald Trump came back to the White House. Gaza Catastrophe reckons with the lethal consequences far greater than the Nakba of 1948 and the significance of a war waged by an advanced military-industrial state-with full US participation and open support from the West. Renowned political scientist Gilbert Achcar explores the dynamics of a complex historical process that culminated in the war on Gaza and wider conflict in the Middle East. Achcar offers critical insights on the genocide's regional and international consequences, as well as radical critiques of Zionism, Hamas, and other state and non-state actors. This volume is essential to understanding the root causes of the violence destabilizing the entire region and the wider world, as well as the conditions required to bring it to an end"-- Arab-Israeli conflict 53791 History 21st Century Gaza Strip 101594 History 21st Century Israel-Hamas War, 2023- Religious aspects 302680 0 ibc orignew 2 epcn 20 y-gencatlg ddc 6 23 953.1056 305104 305104 0 0 ddc 0 0 10 10 1 2025-11-14 19 COMPRA 28.94 0 953.1056 A176g 2025 80000002664178 2025-11-14 00:00:00 28.94 2025-11-14 6
