“The 51 Day War: Ruin and Resistance in Gaza” by Max Blumenthal [Recommended]
On July 8, 2014, Israel launched air strikes on Hamas-controlled Gaza, followed by a ground invasion. The ensuing fifty-one days of war left more than 2,200 people dead, the vast majority of whom were Palestinian civilians, including over 500 children. During the assault, at least 10,000 homes were destroyed and, according to the United Nations, nearly 300,000 Palestinians were displaced. Max Blumenthal was in Gaza and throughout Israel-Palestine during what he argues was an entirely avoidable catastrophe. In this explosive work of intimate reportage, Blumenthal reveals the harrowing conditions and cynical deceptions that led to the ruinous war — and tells the human stories. (Publisher’s description)

From filmmaker Tom Hayes: “Filmed over 25 years, this expansive and incisive film explores the impact of Jewish settlement on the Palestinians, from before the creation of the state of Israel to the present day.
