5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a MUST-READ if you want change in the US

This book is a MUST-READ. The author makes a persuasive argument that the standard approach to political involvement to affect change (aka voting) can never change the very system that controls the outcomes (both parties are bought and paid for by special interests & the donor class & hamstrung by groups like AIPAC).
Thinking outside the box, the author recommends more effective tactics such as widespread boycotts and ramping up pressure on corporations to bring them into the fight to the benefit of the public rather than continuing to fund & support the interests of countries like Israel.
These are important arguments that must be had if Americans truly wish to “move the needle” regarding policies that are clearly NOT beneficial to the American public and rather serve a very narrow set of foreign interests that could lead us all into WW3 and nuclear annihilation.
The author is spot-on and we need more like-minded thinkers to coalesce and challenge the status-quo before it’s too late."

Thank to NetGalley for the audio-arc in exchange for an honest review.
This book was well researched and written. It shed light on and discussed concerns regarding foreign complicity in the war on Gaza, specifically that of the USA. And detailed how they were planning to use lobbying to the Palestinian people's advantage to counter AIPAC.

"Boycotts 2.0 Unleashed" offers an examination of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict while situating it within a broader political and historical context. The author provides readers with an analysis of the historical roots of the conflict, dissecting the narratives and the myths that have supported the Zionist political movement.
One of the book's strengths is its effort to debunk commonly held Zionist myths. The author presents evidence and arguments that challenge popular assumptions about the legitimacy of the Zionist movement, the occupation of Palestine and its impact on the local population.
Moreover, the book delves into the rise of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement as a response to AIPAC's lobbing efforts ans its detrimental effects on the Palestinian cause. It positions boycotting as not just a political statement, but as a necessary tool for advocating social justice and human rights.
The last part of the book addresses a bunch of theories (here called "coincidences") with which I personally disagree. I find it unfortunate that the author chose to include them in a book that presented until that point such compelling arguments in favour of the Palestinian cause and world peace in general.
Farida B, Reviewer
This is a thought-provoking and meticulously researched book that highlights the potential of youth-led movements to drive significant change.
Despite being familiar with much of the historical and political background, I still gained a lot from this concise book. It offers a compelling exploration of the power of collective action in the digital age, particularly focusing on the strategies and tactics employed by Gen Z to challenge the status quo. The book delves into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the influential role of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
This is a must-read for anyone interested in social justice, activism, and the power of collective action in the digital age. It not only educates but also inspires readers to become catalysts for change.
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC of this book. The ARC in no way impacts the rating of the book and all of my reviews contain my honest opinions.
