zachcarter 's review for:
Zionist Colonialism in Palestine
by Fayez Sayegh, Fayez Sayegh
Palestine, you have my unwavering solidarity.
This is probably the most succinct and accessible introduction to zionist colonialism and the urgency with which we should treat the cause of Palestinian liberation (by any means necessary). Written in 1965, we can only add on to this with our own knowledge of the 1967 war, the numerous invasions of Lebanon (1978, 1982, and 2006 for starters), the massacres in Gaza (Cast Lead in 2009, Pillar of Defense in 2012, and Protective Edge in 2014), the suppression of the Great March of Return (2018), and the quotidian violences of dispossession, ethnic cleansing, military occupation, and apartheid.
The way that Fayez Sayegh lays out the ideological foundation of Zionism from its inception and how that materialized throughout the 1890s all the way through the Nakba is incredibly useful, and something we all need to study carefully.
