Palestine, Israel and the U.S. Empire
Talk and discussion with author Richard Becker on his new book

Palestine, Israel and the U.S. Empire provides a sharp analysis of the historic and current events in the struggle for Palestine – from the division of the Middle East by Western powers and the Zionist settler movement, to the founding of Israel and its regional role as a watchdog for U.S. interests, to present-day conflicts and the prospects for a just resolution. Join us for a presentation and discussion that will interest both long-term Palestinian rights activists and those who are new to understanding the issue.

“A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the Palestinian cause.”
—Samera Sood, executive board, Palestinian American Women’s Association

“Becker foregrounds what others usually set aside: the integral role of U.S. imperialism, with the Zionist state as an essential partner. His approach connects the Palestinian struggle with a universal perspective, which gives the people dignity and strength.”
—Joel Kovel, author, “Overcoming Zionism”

“This book is a clarion call to end the last vestiges of colonialism in the 21st century.”
—Imam Mahdi Bray, executive director, Muslim American Society Freedom
