Palestinian Anticolonial National Liberation in the Present

This paper examines a group of anticolonial and anti-imperialist intellectuals of different political persuasions (nationalist, Marxist) thinking on Palestinian anticolonial national liberation at key moments in Palestinian history. It argues that central to these thinkers and their analyses is a collapse in distinction between 1948- and 1967- occupied Palestine in Zionist settlercolonial ambitions; the umbilical relationship between Zionism and US-Euro imperialism; as well as the centrality of Arab ruling classes to Zionist hegemony in Palestine. This paper extends this thinking to the question of Palestinian anticolonial national liberation in the present.
