For those asking what Palestine reveals about the world - and what it demands of us - this book is one small intervention in a much larger fight.
We hope youโ€™ll read it, share it, and organise with it. www.versobooks.com/en-gb/produc...

Why is Palestine a defining fault line of 21stโ€‘century politics? Resisting Erasure places Israeli settlerโ€‘colonialism within imperialism, race, and fossil capitalismโ€”not just humanitarian / legal narratives. Officially out & available in paperback & ebook www.versobooks.com/en-gb/produc...

This is an absolutely indispensable read that provides a sharp, comprehensive materialist analysis of Palestinian oppression. Get it, read it, discuss it with comrades, use it to inform your movementโ€™s means and ends. @pashukanist.bsky.social @rafeefz.bsky.social

This was a great chat I think. Alex on his usual excellent form and @rafeefz.bsky.social and Adam both brilliant as ever.

This is our first pod about the @versobooks.bsky.social pamphlet and it's good to start out with some of the best.

77 years of Ongoing Nakba. From Jenin to Jabalia, despite bombs and bulldozers, we are still here. Nakba is not a past event. It is a structure - expanding, brutal.
But the promise of return endures. We remember, and we will return. #Nakba77 #OngoingNakba #Palestine #RightOfReturn #WeWillReturn
