3 stars

Nothing particularly eventful ends up happening during F.S. Rosa's visit to Yasser Arafat's compound, but the telling is witty and engaging and I felt like I was there along with her group of activists at a tense time. A lively quick read that shines a light on the nature of Israeli occupation, although to that end I would probably recommend Palestine Speaks (which has an extensive interview with Ghassan Andoni, a speech by whom is summarized here) before this.
