However, Joe Sacco revives true journalism in Palestine, documenting firsthand accounts through interviews and illustrations. Like Noam Chomsky, he highlights the often-overlooked Palestinian perspective but focuses more on personal stories than global politics. While this approach has blind spots—such as omitting the U.S.'s role in the conflict—it offers a powerful, humanizing look at life in Palestine. Sacco's honest self-portrayal makes the book both compelling and educational.
