Anti-zionist Reading Group Planning - Propose Books Here (hexbear.net)

I'm making this thread to plan a reading group about anti-zionism, for comrades (including myself) to get educated on the latest anti-zionist and anti-colonial theory and practice. Please propose books in the comments, along with a short explanation of why your are proposing them / what they are about.

My first proposal is "Perfect Victims" by Mohammed El-Kurd. I think the title somewhat explains the book, but his article "Jewish settlers stole my house. It's not my fault they're Jewish." is a good look at the kind of ideas he explores.

Ten Myths About Israel (sic) is a good summary or takedown of the narrative zionists have of their history. Pappé is an “israeli” historian with good opinions (acknowledges that the Nakba was ethnic cleansing, admires the courage of Hamas after al-Aqsa Flood), and the text is pretty snappy. Like some of the myths are covered in less than ten pages. People might have read this one though, cause that link is pulled from the news thread like two years ago
