In "The Biggest Prison on Earth: A History of the Occupied Territories," Prof. Pappe uses the metaphor of the prison to elucidate how Israel has treated the Palestinians under its rule in the territories (the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza) it has illegally occupied since its pre-emptive Six-day War in 1967.The disenfranchised Palestians living in the Occupied Territories were and are expected to meekly submit to one of two governance models: the Open-Air Prison more generally prevalent in the West Bank, or the Maximum Security Prison imposed on Gaza since 2006. With no path to citizenship and without any rights under military rule, Palestinians in these areas are in the position of a colonized people, albeit with little hope of self-determination.Their dilemma, Pappe shows, was a product of the Zionist impulse that sought to create a "Greater Israel" whilst avoiding a formal annexation that might result in the opprobrium of the international community and possible sanction under international law. At least until recently, this strategy enabled Israel to circumvent international law and global censure as it stole Palestinian land, created vast new Israeli settlements in the Occupied Territories and left the Palestinians in a stateless limbo. This creation of an apartheid regime and the concomitant deception of the international community lies at the heart of the Israel - Palestine conflict and accounts for much of the duplicity Israel displays on the international stage.The book covers the period from 1948 until 2017, but needless to say is highly relevant in view of events in Gaza since October 7, 2023. I highly recommend this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars TRUE Description of how Gaza today is this Worlds absolute largest Consentration Camp. *by A***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2024* WERY WELL written by THE BRAVEST Jew alive today! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Should be mandatory reading for the governments of the USA, the UK and Germany *by R***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2024* With the current terrible situation in Gaza and Israel, I've been trying to find out more about the background. The courageous and honest Jewish Israeli historian, Illan Pappe, has access to Israeli government archives, that are not so accessible to non-Hebrew speakers, and he paints a dire picture. From the founding of Israel, based on a UN resolution, in which the inhabitants of Palestine had no say, the Zionists have been occupying more and more land that was not intended for them under the original UN resolution. With sophisticated plans and propaganda they have been seeking pretexts to de facto annect more and more Palestinian land, so that a Two-State "solution" is now no longer possible, despite the the now belated bleatings of some Western governments. This is documented in detail in the sources quoted by Pappe, which set out the statements of leading Israeli politicians from the 1940s until recently. Since the founding of Israel, all other relevant UN resolutions have been blatantly ignored, with the support of the USA. The encroaching occupation of Palestine and the tailor-made Israeli laws to justify these crimes according to international law, that have been widely ignored by the world, are meticulously set out in this book. In particular, the sections dealing with Gaza, this tiny strip of land that is home to a couple of million human beings, most of whom were driven from their homes (even before this terrible war), and the plans to make it uninhabitable for Palestinians are horrific. And this book was written almost 7 years ago!My review is in no way a justification of the heinous attack by Hamas on 7 October 2023. Impartial and honest/unhypocrital people, however, have to agree with António Guterres that this horrendous attack did not happen in a vacuum. Pappe's book explains the context.This book really is a "must read" for anyone who is open-minded and intelligent enough to see through the propaganda. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Biggest Prison on Earth: A History of Gaza and the Occupied Territories - The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine - The Hundred Years' War on Palestine --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/144306616-the-biggest-prison-on-earth](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/144306616-the-biggest-prison-on-earth) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
