- A conversation about Palestine, socialism, and anti-imperialist solidarity, marking the release of Palestine: A Socialist Introduction.
----------------------------------------------------
Join Sumaya Awad, brian bean, Khury Petersen-Smith, and Jehad Abusalim for a timely discussion about Palestine, socialism, and anti-imperialist solidarity across borders, marking the release of Palestine: A Socialist Introduction.
Winning freedom in Palestine necessitates contending with the forces of capitalism, just as the struggle for socialism will have to take on US imperialism. A broadening movement of workers and activists see the injustices they oppose as common expressions of a cruel and irrational system-capitalism, and understand the need to posit a humane alternative: socialism. At the same time, the centrality of the Palestinian liberation struggle is becoming more and more apparent to leftists who see the relationship between liberation within the US and beyond its borders. As the US socialist movement continues to grow, it is critical that it embraces anti-imperialism, and the cause of Palestinian liberation in particular. Just as significantly, it is crucial that the growing Palestine movement orients toward socialist politics, as the only plausible means to achieve justice regionally and internationally.
Sumaya Awad and brian bean, editors of Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, will be joined for a discussion about these themes by contributors Khury Petersen-Smith and Jehad Abusalim.
Palestine: A Socialist Introduction systematically tackles a number of important aspects of the Palestinian struggle for liberation, contextualizing it in an increasingly polarized world and offering a socialist perspective on how full liberation can be won. Contributors include: Jehad Abusalim, Shireen Akram-Boshar, Omar Barghouti, Nada Elia, Toufic Haddad, Omar Hassan, Remi Kanazi, Annie Levin, Mostafa Omar, Khury Petersen-Smith, and Daphna Thier.

The struggle for Palestine liberation is the same struggle against Capitalism. Great intro to Palestine Liberation
no its not.
Umm actually it is. Zionism is an ideology based on violent and dehumanizing expansionist government policy. Not to mention Israel’s expansion of digitized mass surveillance. I also think this was an excellent introduction to their cause.
@@Broham.tar0 Ok , but for me these sweeping statements seem meaning less.
Thank you for the fantastic discussion, Haymarket and participants! And the chat was excellent as well!
Thank you all.
I love all of u guys so much. You guys were all so wonderful! I will be buying the book. Thank u so much for this talk🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great conversation about Palestine, socialism, and anti-imperialism solidarity. The struggle of Palestine is a struggle against mass-incarceration, police and ICE in the United States. We also demand our right to land back and justice to legalize more than 11 million living undocumented.
Justice indeed. They should be arrested and deported. I agree
Thank you for this introduction to an amazin book that I will definitely buy! Thanks to all the participants and especially to Sumaya and her underlining of the working class! I think this is crucial for any liberation movement that seeks for an alternative to the imperialist world system. I also agree that there is an ideoligical war going on that Israel is losing. This is part if the crisis of the bourgeois ideology as a whole. The Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany hast just brought out a new book about this question. Unfortunately, it is not available yet in English. But it also addresses the new definition of antisemitism and the necessity to strengthen the proletarian ideology! Long live international solidarity! Workers of all countries, unite!
great discussion cant wait to read the book!
We need follow up discussions in this vein, joining transnationally and intersectionally, bringing together activists from around the world confronting brutal imperialist capitalism.
Socialists shouldn't support EITHER state. They shouldn't show the map with only Palestine. There's Jews living there and there's Arabs living there. They need to be EQUAL! Socialists shouldn't be nationalists and saying that one group deserves the land more than the other! Anyone have to be equal!
Why are you afraid to get the Israeli point of view?
Shalom shalom Aleichem
One thing must be cleared before any dissolution.
Etymology of terms...
The entire Middle East was apprehended by conquerors, Judea and Israel differs none.
PALESTINA and Aelian Capitolina, both have a date of forced occupation upon two Hebrew kingdoms.
AD 70 marks the date, reality is coming to the realization, that Palestinian is not a person, place or thing.
Appropriate persona!!
Ecuptah, Ethiopia, KEMET and Africa, are territorially under the historical reality of a Great Queen.
When a kingdom is conquered and renamed, Johnny come lately squatting, does not erase that history.
Daniel Moshe Johnson
I thought Palestine was a right wing?
