Book Review: The Shock Doctrine

What went wrong?

"The U.S.-sanctioned “Board of Peace” is imposing a colonial mandate in Gaza. It is the latest example of the "shock doctrine," with the U.S. and Israel attempting to transform Palestinian society in Gaza after destroying it through genocide."

@martinus I've read about half of the book, then I got too mad. Maybe should finish it. Also never seen the documentary, so thank you.
