Similar to attacks on LGBTQ books and works of “Critical Race Theory,” the pro-Israel crusade to suppress Palestinian voices is a systematic campaign of political targeting.
Josh Ruebner speaks with Marc Lamont Hill and Mitchell Plitnick about how they came to be advocates for Palestinian liberation, what needs to be done to push the struggle forward, and their critical new book, Except For Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics.
Many progressives in the Democratic Party have been celebrating the “return to normalcy” in US foreign policy represented by President Biden’s electoral win. This ignores the robust bipartisan consensus under both Democratic and Republican predecessors that laid the foundation for Trump’s openly hostile policies toward the Palestinians. It is this contradiction that lies at the heart of Marc Lamont Hill and Mitchell Plitnick’s new book, “Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics”.
