Description
Erasing Palestine: Free Speech and Palestinian Freedom by Rebecca Gould The IHRA definition of anti-Semitism has had a profound impact on discussions of racism and prejudice in Britain, shifting the focus from substance to words. This shift has impoverished our understanding of these complex issues. Erasing Palestine tells the story of how this redefinition has functioned as a tactic to undermine Palestine solidarity. By examining internal politics over several years, Gould sheds light on a broader narrative that spans decades. The book chronicles the erasure of violence against the Palestinian people and explores the importance of free speech in relation to Palestinian freedom. Through its examination of history, politics, and social issues, Erasing Palestine offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between anti-Semitism, racism, and solidarity with Palestine.
