Description
Book Synopsis: "One of the most important books on Israel/Palestine in this generation."―The New York Review of Books
Support for Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory―both internationally and within Israel itself―rests on the belief that the Israeli army's presence in the West Bank and Gaza is essentially protective, aimed at safeguarding the country from terror. But Israeli soldiers themselves tell a profoundly different story. In this landmark work, which includes more than a hundred soldiers' testimonies collected over a decade, what emerges is a broad policy that is as much offensive as defensive. In their own words, the soldiers reveal in vivid detail how key planks of the army's program have served to accelerate Israeli acquisition of Palestinian land, cripple all normal political and social life, and ultimately thwart the possibility of Palestinian independence.
Taking aim at a silence of complicity that perpetuates the justification for occupation, the soldiers who speak out here offer a gripping and immediate record of oppression. Powerful and incontrovertible, Our Harsh Logic is a supremely significant contribution to one of the world's most vexed conflicts.

Discover the truth behind the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory in the eye-opening book, "Our Harsh Logic: Israeli Soldiers' Testimonies from the Occupied Territories, 2000-2010." Critically acclaimed as "one of the most important books on Israel/Palestine in this generation" by The New York Review of Books, this groundbreaking work challenges the prevailing narrative by presenting over a hundred compelling testimonies from Israeli soldiers.
Support for Israel's occupation is built upon the premise that the Israeli army's presence in the West Bank and Gaza is solely for protective measures against terror. However, the testimonies featured in this book paint a radically different picture.
