“This powerful book courageously and compassionately keeps our eyes, hearts, and souls on the precious humanity of Palestinians as they confront barbaric genocidal Israeli forces. The imperial policies of the West, and especially the U.S., enable this bestial ethnic cleansing. Yet this catastrophe will not have the last word as long as we raise our voices and fight for truth, justice, and human dignity!” <b>—Dr. Cornel West, author of <i>Race Matters</i></b>
“This book captures the genocide in Gaza and provides the world with a history that cannot be denied, and that won’t be forgotten. It fights back against the attempt to write Palestine out of history, and remembers our story for future generations, and forever.” <b>—Belal Muhammad, UFC Middleweight Champion</b>
“Lyrically weaving the political with the personal, this book documents in real-time the humanity and the devastating pain of Palestinians experiencing genocide. It is a must-read to understand the gravity of the collective punishment Israel has unleashed on more than two million innocent Palestinian civilians.” <b>—Sahar Aziz, author of <i>The Racial Muslim</i></b>
“This book is not merely to be read; it is a call for everyone who opens its pages to act and to do something for Palestine, no matter how small. Every effort, every voice, and every step makes a difference in the struggle for freedom and justice.” <b>—Belal Khaled, Palestinian photojournalist in Gaza</b>
“A lucid and articulated analysis, much more than just required reading, given the extent of censorship and the severity of erasure of Palestinian stories, <i>Eyes on Gaza</i> appears as a book that hits the mark. A collection of essays that not only tell the truth in the face of the lies from the powerful but also resist the forces that conspire to erase Gaza from history.” <b><i>—The New Arab</i></b>
