‘TOXIC GIFTS’: Israel and the Anti-Zionist Left. An Interview With Susie Linfield

Susie Linfield

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Susie Linfield, author of The Lion’s Den: Zionism and the Left from Hannah Arendt to Noam Chomsky, discusses how and why some portions of the left have failed to grapple with the complexity, and the facts, of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, substituting ideology and wishful thinking for lucid political analysis. All parties to the conflict - including the Palestinians, supposedly the beneficiaries of the left’s ‘solidarity’ - have been grievously injured by the left’s abdication.
