'''Intifada – The Long Day of Rage''' is a book by Scottish journalist [[David Pratt (Scottish journalist)|David Pratt]] documenting violence between Palestinians and Israelis in [[Gaza Strip|Gaza]] and the [[West Bank]] between 2000 and 2001.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Burke|first=Jason|title=Intifada: The Long Day of Rage (2)|url=https://www.frontlineclub.com/intifada_the_long_day_of_rage_2/|access-date=2022-01-15|website=Frontline Club|language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|last=Connolly|first=Philip|date=22 February 2007|title=Middle East conflict: putting the blame where it belongs.

== Summary == |
|||
Set in 2000 and 2001 in [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]], Pratt documents the formulaic way that violence is dispensed in Palestine by Palestinian youth and [[Israel Defense Forces|Israeli Defense Forces]] during the 2000 and 2001 Palestinian uprisings, or ''[[Intifada|Intifadas]]''.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":2" /> |
|||
In the foreword, Pratt is open about his struggle to remain impartial and while he notes that both sides see themselves as victims, he is critical of the [[Israel|State of Israel]] from the start and states his conviction that the Palestinian people remain the victims of "a great injustice".<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|last=Deane|first=Raymond|date=2006-12-15|title=Book Review: Incandescent Nation|url=https://electronicintifada.net/content/book-review-incandescent-nation/6607|access-date=2022-01-15|website=[[The Electronic Intifada]]|language=en}}</ref> [[Raymond Deane]] quotes Pratt in his review: “this book makes no pretence towards impartiality…because the weight of evidence which as a reporter I have come across over considerable time, convinces me that the State of Israel has a case to answer for in its appalling treatment of the Palestinian people.”<ref name=":2" /> However the book does presents the Intifadas from both perspectives and includes reporting on writing about the ''Intifadas'' by Israeli writers [[A. B. Yehoshua|A.B. Yehoshua]], [[David Grossman]], and [[Amos Oz]].<ref name=":2" /> |
|||
The book includes criticism of the [[Palestine Liberation Organization]] (PLO) and the [[Palestinian Authority]].<ref name=":2" /> It discusses complicity between the PLO and the state of Israel and their collective failure to deal with the revolutionary events.<ref name=":2" /> The criticism of [[Yasser Arafat]] is strong.<ref name=":2" /> |
|||
The book presents the [[Oslo Accords]] as insincere agreements and the second ''Intifada'' as counterproductive, linking it to both the election of [[Ariel Sharon]] and the rise of [[Islamism in the Gaza Strip|Islamism]] in Palestine, which it describes as being supported by Israel.<ref name=":2" /> |
|||
== Critical reception == |
|||
The book is described by [[Jason Burke]] as highly readable; he describes the narrative as "accessible, colorful and informed".<ref name=":0" /> |
|||
Philip Connolly, writing in ''[[An Phoblacht]],'' praises Pratt for his straight talking and for avoiding political hyperbole.<ref name=":1" /> |
|||
[[Raymond Deane]] describes the conclusion of the book as eloquent and describes the book as one of the most "informative books of its kind." due to its detail and clarity.<ref name=":2" /> |

- From a book: This is a redirect from a book title to a more general, relevant article, such as the author or publisher of the book or to its title in an alternative language.
- Books should only have an individual article when they meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines and there is enough material to warrant a detailed article.
- To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.
- From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into the content of the target page. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- For redirects with substantive page histories that did not result from page merges use {{R with history}} instead.
