I thought this was a really good podcast @shirleymush.bsky.social is a really incisive interlocutor, and I think we got into some great, wide-ranging questions. You should listen imho.

Also, yes I can confirm I am hilarious.

Loved this excellent primer on the political economic context of the Zionist settler-colonial project in Palestine from @versobooks.bsky.social. It’s succinct but also far-reaching in scope, and could be an amazing resource for groups looking to get on the same page in terms of big-picture analysis.

Still beaming from teaching with this today - it’s incredible to witness the ease with which students make sense of complex theory when it comes to applying it to the most urgent contexts. Thanks for writing it @pashukanist.bsky.social @rafeefz.bsky.social and Adam!

Excerpt from Resisting Erasure, it reads:

Moreover, when solidarity with Palestine is framed as divisive or ‘too political’, what is really being argued is that the lives and struggles of racialised people outside the West do not belong at the centre of political and labour movements. This attitude treats the concerns of certain workers – those who are predominantly white or in the Global North – as the ‘real’ working-class issues, while marginalising those of others. Bread-and-butter racism is not just about what is opposed but also about
what is excluded. It is itself a racialising logic.

Oh, talking about Palestine is too fucking 'sectarian' is it? Why should Gaza be an issue in Gorton and Denton?

For those asking what Palestine reveals about the world - and what it demands of us - this book is one small intervention in a much larger fight.

This is an absolutely indispensable read that provides a sharp, comprehensive materialist analysis of Palestinian oppression. Get it, read it, discuss it with comrades, use it to inform your movement’s means and ends. @pashukanist.bsky.social @rafeefz.bsky.social
