Description

A bold call for the American Left to extend their politics to the issues of Israel-Palestine

Except for Palestine argues that progressives and liberals who oppose regressive policies on immigration, racial justice, gender equality, LGBTQ rights, and other issues must extend these core principles to the oppression of Palestinians. In doing so, the authors take seriously the political concerns and well-being of both Israelis and Palestinians, demonstrating the extent to which U.S. policy has made peace harder to attain. They also unravel the conflation of advocacy for Palestinian rights with anti-Semitism and hatred of Israel.

Hill and Plitnick provide a timely and essential intervention by examining multiple dimensions of the Israeli-Palestinian conversation, including Israel's growing disdain for democracy, the effects of occupation on Palestine, the siege of Gaza, diminishing American funding for Palestinian relief, and the campaign to stigmatise any critique of Israeli occupation. Except for Palestine is a searing polemic and a cri de coeur for elected officials, activists, and everyday citizens alike to align their beliefs and politics with their values.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

The book by Marc Lamont Hill and Mitchell Plitnick is praised for its incisive analysis of how progressive commitments are often inconsistent regarding Palestinian rights. It challenges the silence and complicity of many who advocate justice for other causes but fail to do so for Palestinians. Reviewers commend it as a crucial, eloquent call for the U.S. to reassess its policies and for progressives to extend their principles of equality and justice to include Palestinian issues.
