“David North’s lectures, delivered amidst the war, are a remarkably concise, historically informed, and politically devastating indictment of Zionism and the Israeli assault on Gaza.”

“David North’s lectures, delivered amidst the war, are a remarkably concise, historically informed, and politically devastating indictment of Zionism and the Israeli assault on Gaza.”
Charles Thorpe, Professor of Sociology, University of California, San Diego.
The lectures presented in this volume are not only a penetrating analysis of the reactionary ideological and political foundations of Zionism. They are as well a powerful call for international action by the working class in defense of the Palestinian people.
New in June 2024: An updated second edition includes the March 2024 lecture, “The Gaza Genocide and the Death of Aaron Bushnell: What are the Political Lessons?”
As David North declared in the third lecture, delivered in Berlin on December 14, 2023: “The ongoing war, for all its horrors, has made one significant political contribution. It has awakened the youth. It has opened the eyes of the world. It has exposed the Zionist regime and its imperialist accomplices for the criminals they are. It has set into motion a tidal wave of outrage that is sweeping across the world and will sweep across those responsible for this genocide.”
