After Savagery Quotes

“Zionism is a calamitous colonial project abusing the factual memories of generations of Jewish suffering. Judaism and Palestine were both colonized at one and the same time: Jews robbed of their ancestral faith and Palestinians of their ancestral homeland. Jews have always lived in Palestine and must always have a home in Palestine, next to their Muslim and Christian neighbors. But Jews must also be able to live in peace wherever else they are. American Jews are American, Iranian Jews are Iranian, German Jews are German, and Palestinian Jews are Palestinian. If there are pernicious signs of antisemitism anywhere in the world, and there are, as there is Islamophobia, we need to resist these signs together. The memory of the Holocaust must be liberated from Zionist abuse and wedded to the memories of all other genocidal terror on this earth, particularly to the Palestinian genocide.”
― Hamid Dabashi, After Savagery: Gaza, Genocide, and the Illusion of Western Civilization
