President Joe Biden was spotted holding The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi during a Black Friday shopping trip in Nantucket. The book portrays Israel as a colonial power and critiques its policies toward Palestinians. Published in 2020, it discusses settler colonialism, resistance, and Israeli policies, as well as U.S. support for Israel, including actions during the Trump administration.
Biden has consistently expressed public support for Israel but faces criticism from both pro-Israel advocates for setting conditions on aid and from pro-Palestinian activists for his handling of the Gaza conflict. Khalidi’s book critiques Israeli policies and highlights events like the first intifada, calling it a victory for Palestinian resistance.
It remains unclear whether Biden purchased the book or received it as a gift.
