Gaza, Lebanon, & Israel’s Drive Toward Regional War
Online
RSVPJoin Salvage and Haymarket Books for an urgent discussion of Gaza, Lebanon, & Israel’s Drive Toward Regional War with writers and activists Joseph Daher and Sai Englert.
--------------------------------------------------------------
After nearly a year of their genocidal campaign in Gaza, Israel’s assassination of Hassan Nasrallah and subsequent invasion of Southern Lebanon leaves the region poised on the brink of regional war. While mainstream outlets and politicians fall over themselves to blare the loudest denunciations of Iran’s retaliatory missile barrage launched in response, solidarity activists the world over are scrambling to understand how we got here and what we can do to force our rulers back from the abyss.
In this Salvage Live discussion Joseph Daher, author of Hezbollah: The Political Economy of Lebanon’s Party of God, and a piece in the forthcoming issue of Salvage on the class basis of Hamas, will be in conversation with Sai Englert, author of Settler Colonialism: An Introduction.
