Gaza and the Hundred Years’ War on Palestine w/ Rashid Khalidi

On this edition of Parallax Views, historian Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University and author of The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017 and Palestinian Identity: The Construction of Modern National Consciousness, joins the show to discuss the Gaza War and the paradigm shift he beleives it has brought about. We are in a "new era", Prof. Khalidi argues.

We also discuss the Biden administration's response to the bombing of Gaza. We also delve into the histories of Zionism, the state of Israel, and the Palestinian identity. Additionally, Prof. Khalidi comments on the settler-colonial paradigm and the controversies around it. Prof. Khalidi also addresses what he sees as the biggest misunderstandings and misconceptions people have about the Palestinian perspective and gives his thoughts on the October 7th Hamas attack, the 2018 Israeli Nation-State Bill, and more.
