A tour de force ... Suárez’ diligent archival research that looks boldly at the impact of Zionism on Palestine and its people in the first part of the 20th century ... is the first comprehensive and structured analysis of the violence and terror employed by the Zionist movement, and later the state of Israel, against the people of Palestine. Much of the suffering we witness today can be explained by, and connected to, this formative period ....

[B]elongs in the top 5 most invaluable books on the history of modern Palestine ... [it] is Palestine’s Yad Vashem.

Israel’s depopulation of 560 towns and villages could not have been accomplished without a campaign of massacres, well planned by date, region, unity of purpose, and method. Nor is Israel’s use of terror in its foundation, doctrine, and ongoing daily practice strictly military: Suárez documents this terror in its myriad dimensions. No detractor can dispute its findings. Of the rare books that focus on Israel’s policy of terror, Palestine Hijacked is singularly powerful. This is an eye-opener, a must-read to clear the fog of deliberate deception used to shield Israel’s crimes against Palestine.
Dr. David Gerald Fincham
It proves beyond doubt that Israel is not the perpetual victim of Arab violence that it claims to be, but has been the aggressor throughout the history of the conflict.
Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
The book is compulsively readable ... But it is in bringing to light the pre-1948 story of Israel’s founding that the book delivers unprecedented detail on the layers of Zionist deception and aggression ... Suarez delegitimizes core assumptions relied on to justify or excuse Israel’s conquest of Palestine ... Palestine Hijacked is a unique resource ... Anyone who wants to fully fathom the history of Israel’s founding needs to read this book.
Noam Chomsky
a damning story, heavily documented ... far too revealing to be tolerated
Jonathan Ofir
Using compelling and detailed historical documentation Suarez ... excels in recounting many moments of Zionist terror throughout history that might not be as well known to the general reader ... Palestine Hijacked is here to remind us that Zionist terror was there from before the establishment of the state, that it continued, and that it is still ongoing, until we stop it.
Elaine Hagopian
Should be added to the essential sources for researchers on this issue, as well as required reading for university courses on the Palestine/Israel Conflict.
Jonathan Cook
This is archival history that has been intentionally forced down the memory hole...
Mike Parker
[A] book that really does get to the heart of the Zionist soul—a very dark place indeed.
