Genocide

Genocide: Sponsoring the Destruction of Palestine is Fintan Drury's follow-up to Catastrophe: Nakba II, extending his forensic chronicle of the genocide in Gaza into its third year. Opening on 13 October 2025 - when Donald Trump addressed the Knesset and held a Peace Summit in Egypt - the book dissects a spectacle that excluded the oppressed while rewarding the oppressor. Drury uses this moment to show how Western governments, led by the US, deepened their political, military, and moral support for genocide. Drawing on meticulous research, he examines how bombardment, starvation, imprisonment, and territorial expansion formed a deliberate strategy, and argues that Western arms, funding, and diplomacy knowingly enabled it. Drury also explores the Trump Netanyahu alliance, showing how political and commercial interests sidelined alternative peace efforts.The book highlights how Israel s focus on Iran is used to deflect attention from continued expansion in Gaza and the West Bank, and critiques a peace framework built around Israeli priorities. Urgent and provocative, Genocide contends that without sustained Western backing, the crisis could neither have begun nor persisted and insists that accountability is overdue.
