Understanding Zionism: Class 1 Origins of Zionism

Violeta Parra Stage 320 West 37th Street, New York, United States

This session will outline the emergence of Zionism as a reactionary, colonial movement and ideology. Participants will learn the conditions, in both Palestine and Europe, through which Zionism emerged, the political orientation and class character of the early Zionist movement, its organizational development, and the alliances it built with European imperialism and fascism.

[COURSE] Understanding Zionism: A 6-Part Study for the Palestine Movement

The People's Forum 320 West 37th Street, New York, NY, United States

This is a 6 session course for organizers and people who stand with the Palestinian struggle to deepen their comprehension of Zionism with the aim of expanding strengthening their engagement in the movement for Palestinian liberation.

Understanding Zionism: Class 2 Breaking the Iron Wall: How Have Palestinian Revolutionaries Understood Zionism?

Violeta Parra Stage 320 West 37th Street, New York, United States

In this session, we will study the works of two such revolutionaries, Ghassan Kanafani and Walid Daqqa, to understand the following questions: how did Zionism marshall tremendous amounts of support despite openly stating its racist and genocidal intentions in Palestine? Under what historical conditions did Zionist propaganda emerge, and how does it function?  What strategies does Zionism use to undermine Palestinian resistance? Why is it important for the Palestine movement to continue to study Zionism?

[COURSE] The Political Economy of Imperialism: A Short Course

The People's Forum 320 West 37th Street, New York, NY, United States

This four-session course is designed to equip participants with foundational tools to understand and confront imperialism. Through a close study of V.I. Lenin’s Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, we will connect Lenin’s historical analysis to the contemporary political and economic realities and manifestations of U.S. imperialism in order to strengthen our anti-imperialist organizing today.
