Zionism, Ilan Pappé argues, isn’t evolving; it’s collapsing.
In conversation with Mehdi Hasan, acclaimed Israeli-British historian Ilan Pappé explains why Israel’s slide into messianic nationalism marks the final stages of a 100-year-old ideology and political project.
“Israel is disintegrating from within,” Pappé says.
The two touched on a wide range of topics, including:
Diet Zionism (“You cannot be a progressive coloniser, and you cannot be a socialist genocider.”)
On whether he believes popular Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti will be released from Israeli prison (“My worries are the rumours.”)
Israel as a settler-colonial project (“If the Jews are indigenous to Palestine, then so are all the Christians and the Muslims in the world.”)
Plus, models for non-violent decolonisation, the fallout from alpha-male politics, fighting Nakba denial, and more.
