Resisting Erasure

Why does the West unwaveringly back Israel? This anti-imperialist critique from authors who are centrally involved in Palestine solidarity work offers a clear answer. This essential read provides clarity on the intertwined relationships of global capitalism, energy politics, and racial oppression, and challenges readers to rethink their understanding of Palestine. Dismantling the simplistic narratives that dominate mainstream discourse, the authors provide a material analysis of Israel's violence, its support from international states, and the various political responses of the Palestinian liberation movement. Historical and regional dynamics of Western imperialism, capitalist accumulation, and racialization form the core of their argument. This book offers a thorough critique of the forces that sustain the Israeli settler-colonial project and the unwavering support it receives from Western powers.
