Publisher's Summary
In this major work of daring criticism and analysis, scholar and political commentator Marc Lamont Hill and Israel-Palestine expert Mitchell Plitnick spotlight how holding fast to one-sided and unwaveringly pro-Israel policies reflects the truth-bending grip of authoritarianism on both Israel and the United States. Except for Palestine deftly argues that progressives and liberals who oppose regressive policies on immigration, racial justice, gender equality, LGBTQ rights, and other issues must extend these core principles to the oppression of Palestinians. In doing so, the authors take seriously the political concerns and well-being of both Israelis and Palestinians, demonstrating the extent to which US policy has made peace harder to attain.
Hill and Plitnick provide a timely and essential intervention by examining multiple dimensions of the Israeli-Palestinian conversation, including Israel's growing disdain for democracy, the effects of occupation on Palestine, the siege of Gaza, diminishing American funding for Palestinian relief, and the campaign to stigmatize any critique of Israeli occupation. Except for Palestine is a searing polemic and a cri de coeur for elected officials, activists, and everyday citizens alike to align their beliefs and politics with their values.

Good overall
Good book on the topic of Palestine. If you’re looking for an introductory book, perhaps start with “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine” or “The 100 Years War on Palestine”.

Biased against Israel and missing content.
Many statements are missing ALL the pertinent facts and explanation to the chain of events, this book presented mostly with a one sided pro Palestinian narrative. If you choose to read this book I would recommend following up with "the case for Israel" by Alan Dershowitz as it will fill the 'missing facts' around the same timeline...
