Anti-Palestinianism

Timely and devastating. Saree and Ussama Makdisi break down the logic of anti-Palestinianism, its settler colonial roots, its ties to other racial regimes, and its enablers in much of the international community. The authors are clear: dismantling the colonial and racial order are preconditions for a free Palestine, and a genuinely free world -- Robin DG Kelley, author of 'Freedom Dreams'
A groundbreaking book – it will shock and inspire you. It grippingly delineates the massive and relentless machinery behind anti-Palestinianism in the West: this deadly bigotry we need to and will overcome.Anti-Palestinianism is a foundational work that should be read in every house and taught in every classroom -- Fady Joudah, author of 'Exhibit G'
How is it possible for the Palestinians to be openly dispossessed, subjugated, starved and massacred while the world’s liberal democracies watch on and do almost nothing to save them? Saree and Ussama Makdisi provide a well-argued and brilliantly nuanced answer to that question in this brave, timely and hugely important book. They minutely dissect the way the Palestinian people have been dehumanised and their lives devalued over the course of a century, their very existence erased, so preparing the way for their ethnic cleansing and genocide. Anti-Palestinianism is essential reading to understand the biggest moral issue of our time -- William Dalrymple
This book is the most relevant piece of writing I have read anywhere for understanding our present predicament. It patiently and brilliantly deconstructs the greatest fallacy of our era: that those who struggle for Palestinian freedom are by definition antisemitic. Saree and Ussama Makdisi, the most prominent Palestinian intellectuals of our day, identify anti-Palestinianism as a form of racism driven by the engine of Zionist genocidal violence – a form of racism now seeking to negate Palestinian life itself. Anti-Palestinianism makes clear that we must confront this lethal prejudice urgently in order to build a politics of resistance and liberation -- Eyal Weizman, founder of 'Forensic Architecture'
If Americans are like fish, anti-Palestinianism is like water—so ubiquitous it remains largely invisible. Naming it is crucial work. This is a genuinely important book -- Peter Beinart, author of 'Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza'
