Why Israel is ‘disintegrating’: Ilan Pappé on the end of Zionism

In conversation with Mehdi Hasan and an audience of paid Zeteo subscribers on Zoom, acclaimed Israeli-British historian Ilan Pappé explains why Zionism is collapsing. In an intriguing conversation, the two touched on a wide range of topics, including:

  • Pappé’s vision for a decolonized state for both Palestinians and Israelis, as discussed in his new book, ‘Israel on the Brink: Eight Revolutions That Could Lead to Decolonization and Coexistence’.
  • Diet Zionism (“You cannot be a progressive colonizer, and you cannot be a socialist genocider.”)
  • Whether he believes popular Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti will be released from Israeli prison
  • Israel as a settler-colonial project (“If the Jews are indigenous to Palestine, then so are all the Christians and the Muslims in the world.”)
  • Plus, what Palestinians really want, models for non-violent decolonization, the fallout from alpha-male politics, fighting Nakba denial, and more.

In this Zoom Q&A, Pappé and Mehdi took questions from Zeteo’s paid subscribers.
