Palestine

Reads like an investigative journalist piece in graphic form, visits and interviews. Gave me a more intimate perspective on some of the matters covered in my reading of The Shortest History of Israel and Palestine. I was a little distracted by the author's dedication to self-deprecation, to the extent that I wonder if he bears some self-hatred as a result of visiting refugees and being unable to immediately help anyone he spoke with, hearing over and over again that they had talked to other journalists and seen no change. The art style lends itself to the relating of grim facts, the clarity of people and text rendered so you can focus more on what is being conveyed, even if it's often the kind of images you don't want to spend time looking at. An important work, I'm glad it's in my local library's collection.
