Except for Palestine

In Except for Palestine, scholars Marc Lamont Hill and Mitchell Plitnick critically examine the implications of unwaveringly pro-Israel policies in the context of authoritarianism affecting both Israel and the United States. They argue that progressives must extend their values of justice and equality to the plight of the Palestinians, highlighting how U.S. policies complicate the pursuit of peace. The authors discuss various critical issues, including the effects of occupation, Gaza's siege, and the stigmatization of critiques against Israeli policies, calling on citizens and leaders alike to align their political beliefs with their principles.
