| Summary: | All the questions you've been wondering about, up to and including Israel's war on Gaza and the election of Donald Trump. People across the United States watched in horror as Israel responded to the terrible acts of October 7, 2023 with a brutal war against the people of Gaza. They poured into the streets demanding Ceasefire Now and protested the US government financing, arming, and protecting Israel's war. A key question was when to start the clock, because none of those events actually began on October 7; all had their origins in events 17, or 58 or 77 years earlier. In straightforward, accessible language Phyllis Bennis takes on that question, and many more, providing answers to the queries so many never before had the chance to ask. What is the Balfour Declaration? What are the Occupied Territories? What is Zionism, and do all Jews support it? Does Israel have the right of self-defense? What were conditions like in Gaza before October 7? |
