''Footnotes in Gaza'' is a graphic novel by Joe Sacco, the author of ''ComicBook/{{Palestine}}'' and ''ComicBook/SafeAreaGorazde''.
In November of 1956, the Israelis stormed two Palestinian towns, Khan Younis and Rafah. In each case, men were rounded up and summarily executed, leading to 275 deaths in Khan Younis and 111 in Rafah. Fast-forward to 2001, when Joe Sacco undertakes a project to get witness accounts of exactly what happened on those fateful days and why the Israelis carried out such a brazen operation. Along the way, Joe examines life in modern-day Rafah, where the Israelis are carrying out a campaign of bulldozing the houses of suspected terrorists.
