Phyllis Bennis recently released her book Understanding Palestine and Israel. Recently, she filmed a video on the book for our international partners at the Transnational Institute.

In the video, TNI says….

“She draws clear historical lines between settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza. She challenges the mainstream narrative that begins history on October 7th, instead tracing the roots of settler colonialism back through decades of displacement, occupation, and apartheid policies. Drawing parallels with apartheid South Africa, Phyllis underscores the critical role of global people’s movements in forcing change and calls for immediate and sustained pressure to end Israel’s occupation and genocide in Gaza. She highlights the growing global mobilization, the role of the United Nations, and the importance of tools like BDS in the fight for justice.”
