I’ve been meaning to read that, especially since I’ve been trying to read more Palestinian authors. But IMO this isn’t like the British public being fascinated at their colonial possessions in the Indian subcontinent. This is more like if admiration of the USSR was more prevalent in the 1950s. Like an “I’m becoming soviet” trend in letters to the editor, or whatever the 1950s equivalent of tiktok is. Maybe I’ll see it differently after reading the book

There were absolutely Western commies who had that attitude to the USSR all throughout the Cold War. Still some today.
