PALESTINE Israel and the U.S. Empire
Talk and discussion with author Richard Becker
This book provides a sharp analysis of the struggle for Palestine—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 U.S. interests, to present-day
conflicts and the prospects for a just resolution.
The narrative is firmly rooted in the politics of Palestinian liberation. Here is a necessary contribution to the heroic efforts of the Palestinian people to achieve justice in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
Join us for a presentation and discussion that will interest both long-term Palestinian rights activists and those who are new to understanding the issue.
“Becker gives us the most focused and penetrating
analysis we have of the real dynamics in the continuing
persecution of the Palestinian people.”
—Ramsey Clark, former U.S. attorney general
“This book is a clarion call to end the last vestiges of colonialism in the 21st century.”
—Imam Mahdi Bray, executive director, Muslim American Society Freedom
“A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the Palestinian cause.”
—Samera Sood, executive board, Palestinian American Women’s Association
“Becker foregrounds what others usually set aside: the integral role of U.S. imperialism, with the Zionist State as an essential partner.”
—Joel Kovel, author, “Overcoming Zionism”
