Two important books that were blanked by the @Guardian

In fact, not a single review in any UK newspaper

As Jonathan Cook notes:

"Peace" here is being used in exactly the same Orwellian sense as "ceasefire". This is not about ending Gaza’s suffering. It is about creating Big Brother-style narrative control, selling as "peace" the final eradication of Palestinian life in Gaza.

Difficult as it is for westerners to hear, we don’t need a stronger West, we need a weaker one. Harder still, Trump is teaching us that the very concept of 'the West' is an illusion.
