A damning account of how Israel and the US manufactured the case for genocide in Gaza and a devastating regional war in the Middle East, from Tel Aviv to Tehran.
In Twelve Days That Shook the Middle East, scholar and Al Jazeera senior political analyst Marwan Bishara offers a clear-eyed account of what happened after October 7, 2023, why it happened, and why it matters. Bishara argues that this conflict has always been an asymmetric, anticolonial struggle. The genocide was not a misstep; it was a blueprint unfolding before the world’s eyes.
Although he covers the entire war, Bishara contends that the first twelve days were enough to expose the core logic of the conflict, to understand the strategic design behind it, and to bear witness to how modern warfare, wrapped in the language of “security,” “self-defense,” and “civilization,” becomes a weapon of dehumanization and destruction.
What followed those twelve days—mass killing, mass displacement, famine, and the collapse of humanitarian possibility—was not the fog of war. It was the eerily cold execution of a premeditated strategy.

“An alarming and informative read.”—Booklist, Starred Review
“A brilliant book by an outstanding veteran journalist who has followed and reported on Israeli politics for decades. Marwan Bishara shows that the path to genocide was not built accidentally but was paved by decades of intentional dehumanization and supremist indoctrination. More than any other book, it expertly probes the political arrogance, structural racism and cultivated cruelty that set the stage for October 7.”—Raja Shehadeh, author of We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I
“Hard-hitting, compelling, honest. A tragic portrait of the violence that has overtaken the Middle East since 7 October 2023, from genocide in Gaza to wars in Lebanon and Iran, as Israel and the United States combine forces to reshape the region. Essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the world today.”—Eugene Rogan, author of The Arabs: A History and The Fall of the Ottomans
