The book cover of “A Very Short History of the Israel–Palestine Conflict” features a powerful illustration of a puzzle map depicting Israel and Gaza. The pieces are intentionally displaced, visually representing the ongoing chaos and fragmentation caused by the war. Gaza, often seen as the heart of Palestinian identity, is fragmented in this design, symbolizing the region’s instability and the destructive impact of the conflict. This visual metaphor captures the fractured reality of the region, highlighting both its political and humanitarian crises. Written by Ilan Pappe, the book delves into the complexities of this longstanding conflict.
The book was published in Greek by Salto Editions, Kallistos Series, offering an insightful exploration of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
