Um the third book um is um My Promised Land by Arish Shaveet. Um which is which mirrors Rashid Khaled's hundreds horse on on on on Palestine. Um, and to me that was helpful because it shows that the Zionist colonial project started like in the 1880s and sort of confirm what Rashid Khaled say in a lot of places. Yeah, those are the three books I would I would recommend.

Answering The Ezra Klein Show's closing question, three books to recommend, in “Mahmoud Khalil Tells His Story” (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-mahmoud-khalil.html). Quoted from the episode's YouTube auto-captions.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
