Gaza: Symbol of Resistance

Giving a voice to those often denied one in the media, this collection of essays and articles covers events in Gaza from the 2005 electoral victory of Hamas, through the siege and Israeli bombing, to the 2010 Israeli commando attack on ships bringing humanitarian aid. The stories told here describe how the Palestinian people of Gaza have withstood siege and war and how their resistance has inspired a worldwide grassroots movement to break the blockade and deliver aid. Contributors include members of the Palestinian community, Israeli soldiers who disagreed with the Gaza war, political activists, and many others. U.S. corporate and government interests in the Middle East and Israel in particular are also analized.
