I am currently reading "Perfect Victims and the politics of Appeal" by Mohammed El-Kurd, and "After Savagery: Gaza, Genocide, and the Illusion of Western Civilization" by Hamid Dabashi. Highly recommend both.
Best book I’ve read on the history of Palestine: The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine, by Rashid Khalidi. (And Jimmy Carter’s book detailing his own history with the Palestinian “question” wasn’t bad either: Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid).

Highly recommend this essay by Fady Joudah, every sentence a deep eruption of meaning https://www.parapraxismagazine.com/articles/exhibit-g?ss_source=sscampaigns&ss_campaign_id=68d04865640d1121ec539b36&ss_email_id=68d1488747cdeb20b3bab917&ss_campaign_name=Fady+Joudah+on+%E2%80%9Cthe+most+terrible+honesty+in+human+civilization%E2%80%9D&ss_campaign_sent_date=2025-09-22T13%3A02%3A30Z&fbclid=IwY2xjawOajZdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEem327ZwgvjGQwnU4ltfqrW7eXjhSKOAB9WxcNLpzvfHEGp7Psr8_f95k242U_aem_KW2D1_vgtZQHemny1gACqQ
