Moon Will Rise from the Darkness

Francesca Albaneses clear moral voice and expert analysis sheds light on Palestines darkest moment in history. This book will help to judge those who were on the right and wrong side of history. - Ilan Pappe, bestselling authorIsraels genocide in Palestine and the complicity of powerful Western states is undermining international human rights and the UN system. The United States has imposed sanctions on lawyers, UN experts, and Palestinian officials in an attempt to bully and intimidate them into silence. One prominent example is UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, who has played an important role in documenting Israels atrocities and those who profit from its oppression of Palestinians.This book compiles Albaneses indispensable and damning reports on Israels conduct in Palestine since October 2023. First outlining the case that this period should be understood as a genocide, Albanese goes on to explain how the ongoing violence fits into a longer history of Israels settler colonialism, and finally presents a devastating indictment against the international corporations that treat mass killing and destruction as a business opportunity.The volume also features a reflection by Albanese on the current state of affairs; revelations by her predecessors Richard Falk, John Dugard, and Michael Lynk of their experiences as UN special rapporteurs; and a preface by Lex Takkenberg, a 30-year veteran of UNRWA, co-authored with scholar Mandy Turner.All royalties from sales of the book will be donated to UNRWA.Francesca Albanese is perhaps the one figure of our times that future historians will recall as the one who did the most to redeem our generation from its guilt over the genocide of the Palestinian people. Her reflections in this book are not just timelythey are for the ages. - Yanis Varoufakis, author, economist and former Minister of Finance of GreeceWhen I came out of Gaza at the end of November 2023, I discovered that Israel was only the tip of the genocidal iceberg. The rest of the iceberg was the enablement apparatus a system of states, institutions and individuals whose sole purpose was to ensure the longevity of a genocidal project now into its third year. This book dissects this apparatus, shedding light on its constitutive accomplices. - Ghassan Abu-Sittah, British-Palestinian trauma surgeon and Rector of the University of GlasgowThe ebook is free to download from www.plutobooks.com indefinitely, with a request for a donation to the Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA.
