thepavand's review
Palestine is The struggle of our lifetimes. The response to their call for solidarity is what defines the legitimacy of the anti-colonial values on which our nation is founded. But of course, we all know those values don't hold anymore; we define ourselves more and more as an ethnic nationalist democracy, with no irony, just as Israel does.
The situation has materially never been worse for Palestine than now. But at the same time, the future holds more possibilities now than it ever did. The essayists in this book have foreseen this, but from here, at this point of time, 8 years after this book was published, things hold more hope. There's a sitting Palestinian-American representative in the US congress, who is not afraid to face the US Zionists, and there's a Jewish US presidential candidate who condemns Israel for its crimes against humanity.
That's not to take away from how far India has fallen in its pro-Palestine posturing, which doesn't even formally exist anymore. Mossad agents come to India, train the Indian army on how to effectively suppress Kashmiri people's day-to-day resistance, and their claim to expertise on this matter is their effective occupation of West Bank and Gaza.
But these paradigms are less stable than they look right now. They will fall. They must. They are inherently moronic.
