Four days into the genocidal bombing and siege of Gaza, with a massive ground invasion pending, the West’s most prominent left-liberal intellectuals stood up and spoke out against … the leftists on the streets for Palestine. But three months later, a mass anti-war movement in solidarity with Palestine has rocked the US, leaving liberals who condemn Palestinian resistance, isolated.
Ben Becker, Editor-in-Chief of BreakThrough News, discusses the remarkable transformation of the US political environment in response to the global movement for Palestine.
“Is the US Left trying to build an abstract and pure politics around saying ‘we are against occupation’ in the abstract or are we trying to unite with the social force, a huge section of humanity that’s rising up right now?” –@benbecker_
