This reading list is recommended for individuals who are new to the Palestinian resistance and seek more context to gain a deeper understanding of the events leading up to Operation Flood of Al-Aqsa. Additionally, it serves those who already possess some familiarity with the Palestinian struggle against the Zionist Entity's ethnic cleansing but wish to delve deeper into Zionism and the broader resistance against Zionism from the wider West Asia (Middle East)
Disclaimer: The book about Hezbollah and the Israel Lobby are not Marxist analysis. These two books are included because it will give you a well rounded understanding of the Zionist Entity and Palestine. Take what's good and leave what isn’t great analysis.
