US, Israel, Christian Zionism, British colonialism, Arab collectives, E. P. Thompson (w P.Linebaugh)

in this video we have discussed the Musha' lands (مشاع) - the agricultural common lands in Ottoman Palestine owned jointly by the community and loosely taxed by the state. Prof. Linebaugh presents his thesis that at the heart of the Israel-Arab conflict is the question of Zionist settler colonialism attempting to destroy the rural Arab communal life. He has also argued that the roots of Zionism go back to Christianity, especially the 17th-century transformation in England that set colonialism in motion. We also asked Prof. Linebaugh about what the Palestinian struggle has taught the rest of the world. Finally, he discussed what socialism means for us at this moment in history.
