Tolerance Is a Wasteland

More about the book

The book critiques the stark contrast between Israel's public persona and the harsh realities faced by Palestinians, arguing that the struggle for Palestinian freedom is often dismissed. Saree Makdisi exposes how the Israeli state conceals its practices of ethnic cleansing and apartheid behind a facade of tolerance and democracy. By analyzing the Museum of Tolerance, he highlights the denial surrounding these issues, urging a global reckoning with the truth of colonial violence. This compelling work seeks to inspire hope for a future rooted in justice and ethics.
