The brutal war launched by Israel on the Gaza Strip in in response to the Hamas attack of 7 October 2023, or Operations Swords of Iron to give it its official name, was a major landmark in the blood-soaked history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This was the eighth Israeli military offensive in Gaza since Operation Cast Lead of December 2008. It was also the most savage, destructive, and lethal attack with a death toll that exceeded by far the combined total of the previous seven offensives. In this book Avi Shlaim places Israel¡¯s policy towards the Gaza Strip under an uncompromising lens. He argues that these recurrent attacks ¨C what Israeli generals chillingly call ¡°mowing the lawn¡± ¨C are the inevitable result of Zionist settler colonialism whose basic objective is the elimination of the native population.
