one of the best books on Palestine I’ve ever read: from a human rights activist & lawyer passionate about walking; an examination of Israeli violence through the lens of exploring the outdoors, the land itself as a being, with intense first hand stories of days out and everyday life interrupted by settlers & the occupation. A celebration of Palestine’s flora, fauna and topography and a study of how Israel destroys nature as well as the native population in their land-grabbing genocidal mission

@katelouisepowell #AltText4You cont'd "The photo on the cover shows an angiosperm tree with a spreading canopy growing on a raised area contained or abutted by a wall. Some people are on a dirt road in front, showing the enormous size of this tree by contrast. There are stepped walls leading up to buildings on a hillside built in an old Mediterranean "adobe" style. Behind and beyond them is what seems to be an excavated rock face to make more space in this valley that it seems like"

"people have lived a long time in. There are orchards and clumps of conifers and eudicot trees. The lighting seems misty and golden, very beautiful and moody.""
