A fascinating interview with dissident Israeli architect Eyal Weizman about the logic of the illegal colonization of the Occupied Territories and the Partition Wall.
One particularly chilling section of the book discusses Israeli military techniques for sending assassination squads into the dense urban sprawl of Palestinian settlements.
