Will order immediately and will read eventually. So busy moving from one protest to another, from one conference to another, from one zoom call to another.......all to no avail. Damn the imperial United States and all its lackeys. I just hope I live long enough to see judgement day - here on earth!
Chris, I’m so happy that you will be talking about your book in Washington, DC. I already have the event on my calendar and plan to purchase your book then. I can’t thank you enough for covering this genocide in a way that other media has not (it has been normalized, if not justified) and for giving many of us courage to stand up. There will be another Gaza specific protest here on April 25. We are trying to think of ways of shaming Democratic Party members to cease their support, even if it is just one member at a time. Exposure is the first step. It appears that Cory Booker, who has voted consistently to fund the genocide, is launching his second bid for the presidency. Many voters don’t know his record.
Most recently, Booker voted against all three provisions of Senator Sanders’ bill to stop the funding. Even Booker’s fellow senator from NJ (whose name I don’t remember, but should), voted for one of the provisions. A friend sent me a clip of a town hall meeting co-hosted by Senator Kelly and Booker in Tucson. Booker’s address to the attendees was disrupted by at least one protester who called him a “hypocrite” for his unwavering support for the Netanyahu government. She apparently has (or had) relatives in Gaza. She cried out about children being killed and was escorted out.
Cory Booker, like most Democrats, is now and has been a hypocrite - they vote for war, support the Zionist genocide and receive most of their re-election campaign funding from AIPAC, have abandoned their base, yet their supporters do not know, and don't want to know anything about the bigger picture from what I've experienced over recent years when I tried to share those stories and ridiculed for the effort. How is this possible? A major part of the problem is looking at the same information sources that have mis-informed them along the way, namely - PBS, NPR, NYT, WaPo, MSNBC, to name a few. These sources are just as one-sided as their Fox News counterparts. Reading Chris Hedges, Joe Lauria at Consortium News, Caitlan Johnstone, Jonathan Cook, Counter Punch, GrayZone, and other marginalized/demonized journalists will clear the fog of intentional misinformation most liberal minded people I know.
Thank you for all that has gone in to your gathering each heartbreaking story and event and writing this very necessary book Chris. Such long, hard, brutal days, weeks, months, years for all. The link you listed in your announcement didn't seem to work so I ordered it from Seven Stories Press.
Thank you Chris for getting this very important book out there and for all you do to be a firm voice for the Palestinians. It is beyond me how these two stupid political parties can vote for genocide. They are the uniparty/war party imho. I’ve contacted my two senators and my representative(in Alabama) through JVP and other pro Palestine groups all to no avail, but I keep doing it. It just sickens me to no end how these hypocrites can vote for giving Israel these weapons/bombs. They are WAR CRIMINALS!!😢☮️🇵🇸
A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine Paperback – April 8, 2025
The book, in paperback, is also being sold on Amazon, or if you are a member you can listen to the audio version which they give you a sample of, and it's excellent.
@fran: since i just came across your link, may i - very humbly!- ask why so many people still patronize amazon? shouldn't we keep a distance, i.e. divest from huge corporations with lousy tax ethics, little concern for workers' rights, big shares in the military machine? or am i really too naive when i think we can make a tiny bit of a difference, after all?
I know what they say about Amazon, but in terms of their policies in regard to their customers they are excellent on every level. You don't like something, easy returns, excellent deliveries, quality products, etc. etc. I began doing busy with them during the Covid pandemic when they shut everything down and so many stores ultimately lost business, and people lost jobs, and many stores never came back. Not to mention many things needed may mean a hour trip to a store from your home, or simply not available. AOC's push to kill Amazon's NYC move caused many in the city to loose potential jobs, needed jobs. I don't like jumping on these bandwagons.

Thanks for the heads up, I will email Booker today. I am VERY disappointed to hear he voted for genocide.

This will be so difficult to read especially when we all have been predicting this for years.
Thank you for bearing witness, Chris, and for alerting us to your book, which I just ordered on Audible.
I linked to several of your damning articles in the piece I published yesterday:
• "I Wish I Knew How: A Rehumanizing Algorithm" (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/i-wish-i-knew-how-a-rehumanizing)
Just bought two copies, had trouble with check out system and I don't see a
link to ask for help.
Thank you for caring about the Palestinians and for all you've done to bring attention to their plight.

Ordered 3 copies!
Thank you for all you do Chris. Just ordered your book via Seven Stories, and thank you for the heads-up to it's becoming available.
Perfect title, Chris!
Done!
The link doesn't seem to work
Is this the book you did with Joe Sacco? Either way I’m ordering a copy as soon as possible I never miss an opportunity to read your work
Thank you always Chris.
