This slim volume features conversations between editor Barat and two preeminent Palestine scholars, Chomsky and Pappé, followed by excerpts from essays and speeches by the latter two.

This book is aimed at those who already have background knowledge on the Israeli occupation of Palestine and wish to add more nuance to their arguments. It's also important to note that while the book is called 'On Palestine', it predominantly focuses on the role of Israel and the US on the lives of Palestinians. It's not a discussion on Palestinian history or culture  but rather life under occupation and how we might possibly be able to change that life. 

Another thing to note is how, despite being a decade old, and referencing events that took place 10, 20, 40 years before publication, the actions by Israel and the US are nearly identical to what we've been seeing over the last 16 months: incremental genocide, ceasefire violations, expansionism over security, and willful blindness. 

The main thing I disliked about the book was the lack of hope in its pages, yet I understand why the authors aren't very optimistic: nothing has substantively changed in 75 years. It's a prescient read, though; vital to our times.
