Israeli Historian Ilan Pappé Predicts the Death of Zionism

by | Nov 6, 2024

in a recent episode of The Big Picture Podcast hosted by Mohamed Hassan, Israeli historian Ilan Pappé explains why he believes that Israel’s genocide in Gaza is the beginning of the end of the Jewish supremacist state enforcing an apartheid regime in Palestine from the river to the sea.

Here are some of the points that Pappé made during the discussion:

  • How Zionism was a settler-colonial project and remains so.
  • Why the US and Great Britain supported the Zionist project to reconstitute Arab Palestine into a demographically Jewish state.
  • How Christian Zionism predated modern political Zionism and negatively influences US government policy toward the Israel-Palestine conflict.
  • How the Zionist movement got President Truman to lend his support to the Zionist project against the advice of his own State Department.
  • How the Israeli lobby group AIPAC destroys the political careers of Israel’s critics in Washington or bends them to its will.
  • Why it is not at its core a religious conflict.
  • Why the question is not whether there should be a one-state or two-state solution but how to bring the existing apartheid regime to an end.
  • How it is not a question of if Palestine will be decolonized but when.
  • Why a permanent two-state solution would not be just and equitable.
  • Why Israel’s genocide in Gaza marks “the beginning of the disintegration of Israel”.
