The Battle for Public Opinion in Europe
A timely, revealing and important book which analyses the incongruity between European public opinion and perceptions of the Israel-Palestine Conflict, and the kind of blind political, economic and cultural support European governments afford the Israeli state.

In an international effort to show solidarity with the Palestinian people, Viva Palestina (VP) volunteers from around the world have left their families and in some cases resigned from their jobs in order to take part in this humanitarian undertaking.
They have done this for no other reason than that they feel strongly about the crisis in Gaza. The images that they saw flash across their television screens during the assault on Gaza in 2008-9 has been seared into their minds.
It is sad that it took such a horrific tragedy to wake people up but one inevitable consequence of the Israeli attacks and their cruel blockade was certainly to educate the world as to the reality of the situation.
