Violeta Parra Stage

This session will explore the role Zionism plays within the US as not simply support for Israel but as an extension of the logic of imperialism domestically.

This session will investigate Zionist society through close examination of internal dynamics of Israel’s various religious, geographic, and ethnic settler communities and how such dynamics are exposed by Arab/Palestinian resistance projects.

This panel session will explore Zionism’s international alliances and its role in global counterrevolution, including its alignment with extreme-right, imperialist, and fascistic forces.

This session defines the “organic link” between Zionism and US imperialism by tracing the historical origins of their combined war on the forces of Arab revolution.

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?
