Haymarket Books | Palestine, Israel, & The Changing Global Order: A Marxist Perspective @HaymarketBooks | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 22 hours ago.
Join this discussion on recent developments in the fight for Palestinian liberation and where they fit in the context of settler colonialism
————————————————————————————————————————————————
Israel is currently undergoing unprecedent intra-Jewish social and political convulsion in light of polices propagated by the ultra-religious-nationalist government coalition now in power. The latter also pushes forward intensified assaults against Palestinians by the Occupation army and settler movement, captured most starkly in the Huwara pogrom.
Palestinian resistance also appears to be entering a new era as an-intifada-like movement against Israeli targets unfolds across the West Bank, led by new Palestinian political actors.
These developments take place on the backdrop of shifting regional and global dynamics that include the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Arab-Israel normalization deals, and the rise of a multipolar global order .
How should we make sense of the current situation, and what do these changes mean for the struggle for a free Palestine today?
