The Political Economy and Political Culture of Israel After the Genocide

Joel Beinin, Stanford University

Tuesday, February 17 at noon in ICC 141 (CCAS Boardroom)
and hybrid

"How did Israel become the kind of society that could commit a genocide in the Gaza Strip? What political/cultural resources did the justifications of the genocide draw on? How did the protracted (and continuing) military campaign on the Gaza Strip tax Israel’s political economy? Have those stresses brought Israeli society to collapse?"
