More than two-thirds of its inhabitants are refugees, and more than half are under eighteen years of age. Since 2004, Israel has launched eight devastating “operations” against Gaza’s largely defenseless population. Thousands have perished, and tens of thousands have been left homeless. In the meantime, Israel has subjected Gaza to a merciless illegal blockade. What has befallen Gaza is a man-made humanitarian disaster. Based on scores of human rights reports, Norman G. Finkelstein's new book presents a meticulously researched inquest into Gaza’s martyrdom. He shows that although Israel has justified its assaults in the name of self-defense, in fact these actions constituted flagrant violations of international law. But Finkelstein also documents that the guardians of international law—from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to the UN Human Rights Council—ultimately failed Gaza. One of his most disturbing conclusions is that, after Judge Richard Goldstone's humiliating retraction of his UN report, human rights organizations succumbed to the Israeli juggernaut. Finkelstein’s magnum opus is both a monument to Gaza’s martyrs and an act of resistance against the forgetfulness of history. Review: Intensely truthful and intelligent - Hard to read this intelligent and visceral account of Gaza’s destruction by Israel. Patient reading required to get through Finkelstein’s prosecution of Israel’s hubristic, unrelenting, enabled, maddening criminal obsession of the Gaza Strip in the past and present. Review: Painstaking documentation, highly readable - This is the first book I’ve attempted to read about the Israel-Palestine conflict. I heard of Norman Finkelstein after reading some books by Chris Hedges and Noam Chomsky. I’ve finished three chapters, and so far I am impressed. Finkelstein is painstaking in detail yet still human with the occasional sarcasm or exasperation. I watched his recent interviews on The Real News Network, and on Democracy Now!, and I hope his book is able to have a wider impact immediately than having to wait a hundred years the way A Century of Dishonor by Helen Hunt Jackson did. Thank you, Professor Finkelstein. There’s at least one other person here in Utah I know who has ordered the book. After we finish reading, we look forward to discussing it and sharing your findings with our Mormon friends and neighbors who, for the most part, know nothing about what is going on in what they call “The Holy Land.” edit: I finished reading the book today. This passage from the final page moved me deeply: Perhaps one day in the remote future, when the tenor of the times is more receptive, someone will stumble across this book collecting dust on a library shelf, blow off the cobwebs, and be stung by outrage at the lot of a people, if not forsaken by God then betrayed by the cupidity and corruption, careerism and cynicism, cravenness and cowardice of mortal man. “There will come a time,” [Helen Hunt] Jackson anticipated, “when, to the student of American history, it will seem well-nigh incredible” what was done to the Cherokee. Is it not certain that one day the black record of Gaza’s martyrdom will in retrospect also seem well-nigh incredible? ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #157,635 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #154 in Israel & Palestine History (Books) #3,376 in World History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 681 Reviews | ## Images ![Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71I-AWiEaxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Intensely truthful and intelligent *by J***Y on April 2, 2026* Hard to read this intelligent and visceral account of Gaza’s destruction by Israel.
