The chapter delves into the sudden growth of a pro-Palestine movement in the US post-October 7th and explores the history of conflicts in Gaza leading to this surge in activism. It analyzes the influence of historical events like September 11th on shaping current perspectives and attitudes towards activism and politics, highlighting the political evolution of Arab and South Asian immigrants post-9/11 and the impact on minority communities within the Democratic Party.
Featuring Dylan Saba and Waleed Shahid on how Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the mass solidarity movement opposing it are transforming US politics. This anti-imperialist internationalist moment marks a profound turning point for the American left.
