Review of War Of Return

If you do not wish to read further then the TL;DR is:

Summary: This book argues the root cause of the conflict in Palestine is not that Palestinians were dispossessed, but that they wish to no longer be dispossessed and go back home.

My conclusion: I read it so you don't have to be subjected to the ugly idea professed here that for there to be peace, Palestinian voices need to be smothered. I suggest reading something else by someone like Rashid Khalidi, or Illan Pape instead.

Or here are two upcoming books that I have far more hope for:

If I Must Die, by Palestinian Poet Refaat AlAreer

Genocide Bad by Jewish Author and Activist Sim Kern

To expand slightly I find this book to be of almost no value, read on if you wish to know what those bits of value may be.

First step PART II - Be Inspired

So in my last blog post I talked about where I think the idea of my novel came from.

While I believe I did a decent enough job of that, I think I missed something very important, and that is my guess as to why I have ideas in the first place.

So why do I have ideas?

I have ideas because I get inspired.

Which leads to the question. How does one get inspired?
