Gideon the Ninth - this was a huge surprise to me and lots of fun. I've never read anything else quite like it.
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August - This is usually my go-to book recommendation for "whats your favorite book"
Mortal Engines - The first book of a surprisingly poignant YA series which is not only fun throughout, but has one of the greatest and most thought provoking endings of all time.
Cloud Atlas - A beautifuly written story that somehow manages to intertwine separate narratives across time.
Children of Time - A wonderful story about time, evolution, survival and what it means to be human.
Israel was not created by "stealing Palestinian land."
"Palestinians have never stopped defending themselves." Do you mean when they explode suicide vests and shoot rockets at cities? Is that what you call defending themselves?
"genocidal occupation..." I find it hilarious that people can say a population with some of the highest growth on the planet is at the same time suffering a genocide.
"The end goal seems to be to occupy as much of “ancestral Israel” as possible." Explain how forcing your citizens to leave Gaza in 2005 fits into this master plan.
