The New War Criminals

In this powerful and thought-provoking book, A.A. Castor draws striking parallels between the actions of Israel in the Palestinian territories and the historical atrocities committed by Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Through a meticulous examination of war crimes, illegal occupations, and human rights violations, the author argues that the lessons of history must not be forgotten.

Castor emphasizes the urgent need for accountability, using his expertise as a Filipino historian to connect the struggles faced by Palestinians today with the hardships endured during World War II. This book not only serves as a reminder of the promises made after the war to prevent such atrocities but also as a call to action for the international community to recognize and address the ongoing violations of international law.

With a focus on collective punishment, settlement expansion, and the blockade of Gaza, Castor challenges readers to confront the uncomfortable truths of modern conflict and the implications of allowing these patterns to continue unchecked. The book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the moral imperative to protect human rights for all.
