Fund Drive Special: The Hundred Years War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017

KPFA - Hard Knock Radio

Davey D presents the book, The Hundred Years War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017 by Rashid Khalidi. Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members―mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists―The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age. He highlights the key episodes in this colonial campaign, from the 1917 Balfour Declaration to the destruction of Palestine in 1948, from Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon to the endless and futile peace process.
