Sarah Leah Whitson’s From Apartheid to Democracy exposes the urgent need for justice in Israel and Gaza. As executive director of DAWN, founded by Jamal Khashoggi to reform U.S. Middle East policy, Whitson warns against ignoring systemic oppression and the human cost of inaction.
Her analysis of the Trump-MBS meeting highlights a troubling pattern: U.S. foreign policy too often prioritizes personal alliances over accountability, allowing violence and inequality to persist. Whitson calls for a shift from complicity to action—pressuring Israel to uphold human rights, enabling aid to Gaza, and rethinking alliances that enable oppression.
This book is a wake-up call: democracy, human rights, and peace demand that the U.S. align its policy with justice.
