Patrick Higgins

Max Ajl and Patrick Higgins join the podcast to discuss Palestinian resistance against the Zionist project, including the ongoing bombardment on Gaza. Topics covered include the history of Gaza, the development of Palestinian resistance, media manipulation, the consequences of Hamas's attack, and the crisis of legitimacy faced by Israel. They also explore the influence of Marxist movements on the Palestinian resistance. Tune in for crucial information on this critical topic.

In this engaging discussion, Patrick Higgins, a researcher with a PhD in Arab History, dives into the rich historical tapestry of the Palestinian resistance movement. He examines its profound impact on decolonial Marxism and the fight against both British colonialism and U.S. imperialism. The conversation highlights the movement's evolution, the significance of primary sources in reshaping perspectives on Zionism, and critiques the pitfalls of ideological purity in leftist politics. Higgins also unpacks the complex interplay between religious beliefs and Palestinian nationalism.
