Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics
Marc Lamont Hill & Mitchel Plitnick unmask the systems and structures that enable progressives to separate Palestine from all other rights-based struggles and treat it differently. They also highlight how US policy entrenches Israel’s authoritarian rule over Palestinians, and observe how Israel perpetuates this oppression by misrepresenting Palestinians who speak of their oppression as anti-Semites motivated by a hatred of Israel.
