“In Blowing Up Everything Is Beautiful, James Robbins uses razor-sharp language to show exactly why the genocide in Gaza is the most brutal crime of the 21st Century. Where others struggle to find the words, Robins has no such problems, cutting through the chaos to expose a system that used the coldest calculations to destroy the lives of over 2 million people and challenge the foundations of international law. Every word here deeply echoes the violence, leaving the observer breathless with the horror unfolding.”—Shaiel Ben-Ephraim “This book is a must-read for every American. As Robins demonstrates with heart-breaking detail, the US has been supporting the worst crimes imaginable against the Palestinian people in Gaza, leaving them with nothing but scorched earth. This book demands serious reflection and soul-searching, but above all, action to stop the continued ethnic cleansing and slaughter of the Palestinian people with our tax dollars. This book could not be more timely and urgent. It is a plea for decency and humanity.”—Dan Kovalik is the author of The Case for Palestine: Why It Matters and Why You Should Care"The quest to annihilate the people of Palestine began long before October 7, 2023 and has continued even after the announcement of a preliminary ceasefire in Gaza. But someday it will meet its final end, and people the world over will get to work distorting and obfuscating the past to excuse their cooperation with the defining crime of our times. The publication of James Robins’s unsparing and exhaustively documented reporting on the first fifteen months of mass murder in Gaza will make their task more difficult. It has rarely been more important to get the first draft of history right, and to this project Robins has made a valuable contribution."—Erik Baker, author of Make Your Own Job: How the Entrepreneurial Work Ethic Exhausted America
