The Logic of Zionism: From Nationalist Myth to the Gaza Genocide

More about the book

David North’s lectures, delivered during the ongoing war, provide a concise and historically informed critique of Zionism and the Israeli assault on Gaza. They offer a penetrating analysis of the ideological and political foundations of Zionism, while simultaneously calling for international action by the working class in support of the Palestinian people. The upcoming second edition, set for release in June 2024, will include the March 2024 lecture titled "The Gaza Genocide and the Death of Aaron: What are the Political Lessons?" In his third lecture, delivered in Berlin on December 14, 2023, North stated, “The ongoing war, for all its horrors, has made one significant political contribution. It has awakened the youth. It has opened the eyes of the world. It has exposed the Zionist regime and its imperialist accomplices for the criminals they are. It has set into motion a tidal wave of outrage that is sweeping across the world and will sweep across those responsible for this genocide.” The volume includes a foreword and essays addressing key themes such as socialist internationalism, the descent of imperialism into genocide, the Israeli state's fascist ideology, and reflections on Leon, a figure who embodies the struggles of his time and resonates with contemporary issues.
