Socialism is a society where power is in the hands of the working class, where the basic needs of the people and the planet are planned for and guaranteed.
Palestine, Israel,
and the U.S. Empire
Palestine, Israel, and U.S. Empire is an essential book for the current moment. Taking a firm anti-Zionist perspective, this book traces the resistance movements from British colonialism to the fight in Gaza and the West Bank.
From the division of the Middle East by Western powers and the Zionist settler movement, to the founding of Israel and its role as a watchdog for US interests, to present day conflicts and the prospects for a just resolution—this narrative is firmly rooted in the politics of Palestinian liberation.
