Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics by Marc Lamont Hill Pap

Description: Except for Palestine by Marc Lamont Hill, Mitchell Plitnick "A bold call for the American Left to extend their politics to the issues of Israel-Palestine, from a New York Times bestselling author and experts on U.S. policy in the region"-- FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A bold call for the American Left to extend their politics to the issues of Israel-Palestine argues that progressives and liberals who oppose regressive policies on immigration, racial justice, gender equality, LGBTQ rights, and other issues must extend these core principles to the oppression of Palestinians. In doing so, the authors take seriously the political concerns and well-being of both Israelis and Palestinians, demonstrating the extent to which U.S. policy has made peace harder to attain. They also unravel the conflation of advocacy for Palestinian rights with anti-Semitism and hatred of Israel.Hill and Plitnick provide a timely and essential intervention by examining multiple dimensions of the Israeli-Palestinian conversation, including Israels growing disdain for democracy, the effects of occupation on Palestine, the siege of Gaza, diminishing American funding for Palestinian relief, and the campaign to stigmatize any critique of Israeli occupation. Except for Palestine is a searing polemic and a cri de coeur for elected officials, activists, and everyday citizens alike to align their beliefs and politics with their values.

Strong Track: Over 25,000 copies sold of Nobody, a New York Times bestselling title that published into a crowded Black Lives Matter market. Far-reaching Media Connections: Hill has relationships with TV, radio, and print outlets that provide regular platforms for his political commentary including MSNBC, Al Jazeera, The Intercept, and others. Controversial Topic: U.S. policy on matters of Israel and Palestine remains a hot-button topic, and recent clashes in Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip have gotten even more Americans interested in this complex issue. 2020 Elections: This will be a go-to book for anyone looking to contextualize how the presidential candidates position their platforms on Israel and Palestine. Famous Firing and Widespread Public Support: Hills termination from CNN made headlines and caused an instant groundswell of support in his defense (Temple University students organized a protest of 1,000+ overnight); his name and Palestine on the cover will draw both media and reader attention. The book will benefit greatly from the support of U.S. based organizations including Jewish Voices for Peace, Foundation for Middle East Peace, U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, Institute for Middle East Understanding, Black Lives Matter, Black for Palestine, and Existence is Resistance.
