Part 4 of Palestine and the World: History in a Time of Genocide (Denial). This episode examines the colonial and settler colonial character of the project of zionism and the foundations of the state of Israel. This leads Dr. Ariel Salzmann to reframe the transformation of diasporic Judaism into zionism under the alchemy of the colonizing process (as a project of Western modernity as a "civilizing process". This analysis poses how the new settler colonial state operated in the international system after WW2 in the Cold War to recolonize Palestine despite the global effort at decolonization. In fact, Palestine exposes the limits of that process and its contradictions in the new world system. Adnan and Ariel examine the framework of the Cold War for the Palestinian national movement against settler colonialism and its alignment within a "third world" liberation struggle globally. The episode explores the geopolitics of Palestinian liberation and resistance to occupation up to the popular uprising of the "first intifada".
