From one of Britain’s most celebrated political journalists, a fearless and forensic indictment of British complicity in the destruction of Gaza.
In a gripping narrative informed by original reporting, Peter Oborne tells how Britain’s Conservative and Labour parties converged to back Israel’s criminal assault—in the process occupying disturbing common ground with the far right.
Rather than challenge this political cartel, British media colluded in its misrepresentations. The shocking result was that, as British authorities helped Israel set Gaza as well as international law aflame, almost everything the public was told about this momentous conflagration was untrue.
When citizens still turned out in their hundreds of thousands to demand a ceasefire, roiling the nation’s politics as they stayed faithful to the ancient British tradition of popular protest in defence of liberty, the political-media machine bared its fangs. The investigative reporting in this book exposes the methods by which peaceful demonstrations were smeared as “hate marches”.
Formerly chief political commentator at the Daily Telegraph and Spectator, Oborne knows the British establishment from within. In this book he names names and provides receipts. His demand is accountability—for atrocities, and their accomplices.
“A masterclass in truth-telling that will prove essential in bringing about justice for the Palestinian people.”
—Jeremy Corbyn

“Peter Oborne is one of the most respected and important writers on the tragedy of the Palestinians and Britain’s complicity in their ethnic cleansing.”
—William Dalrymple
“An absolutely devastating indictment of Britain’s criminal role in Israel’s genocide. A must-read, utterly compelling contribution to the coming reckoning.”
—Owen Jones
“At last, our politicians and media are in the dock for colluding in the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. Peter Oborne’s book leaves no hiding place. There will be a day of reckoning, there always is.”
—Ken Loach
“Thrilling, essential reading if you care about the world and the moral decency of those who lead us. Gaza is being murdered; Britain is guilty: here’s the proof.”
—Miriam Margolyes
“This is a critical document for understanding not just this war but the workings of Western imperialism.”
—Ghassan Abu-Sittah
“Incisive . . . a damning document recording British betrayal of Palestine that began a century ago and continues today.”
—Ilan Pappé
“This work is both an act of resistance and a testament to the power of truth. Every seeker of justice should not only read it but truly reckon with its message.”
—Ahmed Alnaouq
