The chapter explores how the Western ruling class's strong backing of Zionism has resulted in the denial of the brutal genocide against Palestinians, with a focus on how this support for Israel has allowed the West to address the Holocaust without challenging capitalist-colonialist systems. The discussion also touches on the exclusion of Palestinians from American liberal moral consciousness, the ongoing genocide in Palestine and Gaza, the double standards and denial surrounding the atrocity, and the importance of changing the narrative to advocate for justice and equality.
Featuring Noura Erakat, Avi Shlaim, Ussama Makdisi, Ilan Pappé, Ghada Ageel Hamdan, and Abdel Razzaq Takriti on the ongoing Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Recorded at the World Academic Forum for Palestine in Houston. We’ll be back next week with episode eight of Thawra, our rolling series on 20th century Arab radicalisms.
