Reddit reviews Palestine Collection

Summed that up nicely.

The cartoonist, Joe Sacco, did an excellent graphic novel on the subject, told from both sides of the IDF wall

When I was in college we had to read the graphic novel Palestine it was excellent and completely altered my perception of the situation.

Just my opinion but I didn't like Blankets all that much...Fun Home is awesome though!!

But, in addition to the others mentioned:

Understanding Comics -McCloud

Stitches -Small

Yummy-Last Days of a Southside Shorty-Neri

Tyranny

Pitch Black -Landowne(sp?)

The Arrival -Tan

Palestine

American Born Chinese

Unlovable

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but Joe Sacco's Palestine is a graphic novel that covers the history of the conflict from the Palestinian perspective. It's a really interesting mix of art, history, and literature, but is pretty out-of-date unfortunately.

No problem.

Here's a link to the book on Amazon if you want more info.

A version of this joke is in Joe Sacco's graphic journalism book Palestine. I can't recommend it enough, as well as his series of books on the Bosnian conflict.

Scans of that page: first and second

I stumbled upon them quite by accident in the library, though I was vaguely familiar with what Maus was prior to that. I devoured both books, and thoroughly enjoyed both. Other than that, I am ashamed to say that anything that could be said seems already to have been said. Kuddos to some of the insanely in-depth and thoughtful points made.

However, perhaps I can contribute in one area: They certainly aren't exactly the same, but if you enjoyed Maus as much as I did, you might also like Safe Area Goražde and Palestine by Joe Sacco. Incredible examples of graphic journalism that you will not soon forget.

Here you go, it’s a brilliant book

This one was a required book for a class I took in college. To be honest, I don't remember a whole lot about it, but it might be worth checking out. It's a graphic novel, by the way.

This is a rather negative view of what journalism has been at its best and could still be. To name one great journalist I'll give you Joe Sacco and his journalistic comic book Palestine. There are lots of good journalists still out there, but they don't much write for something you'll find in a news stand. They usually are writing books, esoteric blogs, comics, or maybe some other medium. The news is a highly fluctuating state of transition. So people mistake the "news" as the place where all the "journalism" happens. But, you know, only some, and much less than it used to.

You could also read a book? Complaining that you know nothing and want to know more, then asking for Youtube videos on the subject is like saying you're starving then choosing to feast on a whole M&M.

Shindler's History of Modern Israel is a little dry (feel free to skim the intricacies of Israeli cabinet politics), but it covers the internal but public Israeli debates really well and explains why the Israelis continue to occupy the West Bank and Gaza as truthfully and even-handed as you can get in this subject. Joe Sacco's Palestine remains not just a landmark in comics twenty years after it was written but also the definitive account of the Palestinian experience under occupation, and the drudgery and oppression that go with being unfree in your own land. Both books will help you empathise, in different ways.

It's pretty much impossible to find something that isn't biased. You research something, you have an emotional reaction, and you write about it. Even being as objective as possible, authors and creators are always dealing with their own bias.

Having said that, the Palestine collection by Joe Sacco as well as his Footnotes in Gaza are both fantastic and accessible jumping-off points. To be clear, these are in graphic novel format, but they're brilliant. Some of the best treatments of the subject you can find. They were recommended to me by someone on here when I asked this same question, and then I found out that my good friend has been interested in this history for years and considers Sacco's collections to be the most important material he's read on the matter.

Joe Sacco's Palestine might be worth a look for supplemental material (sorry for the amazon link, but it lets you look inside the book. Had trouble finding excerpts for you). I'm not a historian, but given that not nearly enough people have heard of his work, I wanted to mention it. I have a close friend who's lived in Palestine and has worked most of her adult life for Palestinian rights. She says the book has one of the best "this is the gist"-s of the conflict she's aware of, and recommends it regularly. Sacco is a comics journalist, and I really appreciated how he just let people, Israelis and Palestinians, talk about how their lives were and how the conflict affected them, plus the format might be a nice change of pace from the other material you're likely to find.
