Understanding the relationship between Zionism and Fascism

Mondoweiss published a modified version of the talk I gave on the relationship between Zionism and fascism as understood from the perspective of the Black Radical Tradition for the Riverway to the Sea webinar, ‘Is Zionism fascist? What will judges think?’ The video and slides from my talk are available here.

To read the article, go to Mondoweiss.

As I conclude in it,

Just as Black radicals identified that fascism was a manifestation of their everyday experiences under colonialism and slavery, Zionism’s fascism goes far beyond its most extremist proponents, from Jabotinsky to Kahane to Ben-Gvir. From the perspective of the Black radicals, beyond these figures, it is the fact that almost the entire Israeli population is in lockstep with its genocidal colonial project which makes Zionism fascist in all its dimensions.
