Ep 6: Zionism and Its Discontents

“The Zionist project only succeeded insofar as it drew upon the imperial powers of Europe and later America, to the very powers they thought they were going to escape from they became the cat’s paws of, they became the instruments of.”
These were the words of Joel Kovel in a talk called “Zionism and Its Discontents” in 2007.
On this day, Sunday December 10, 2023, as Israel is in its second month of genociding, livestreaming before our eyes, before the world’s very eyes, the genocide in Gaza against the Palestinians.
