In an effort both to expand my understanding of Palestine and create a resource that might be helpful to others, I made a bare-bones reading list/syllabus on Palestine. It is meant to be a collaborative work-in-progress that is necessarily unfinished and open for anyone to add, refine, etc.
It's a collection of resources on the history of Palestine; Israelās ongoing occupation of the West Bank and blockade of Gaza; and the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, including international responses and Israelās subsequent military siege of Gaza.
This syllabus is meant to be a wide-ranging examination of the intertwined histories of Zionism, imperialism, anti-semitism, racism, and decolonization as well as international politics post-1945, including the creation of the United Nations and development of rights-based frameworks, and US politics post-9/11.
The goal is to put together an accessible guide of academic, literary, and journalistic resources to understand the political and historical context of Hamasā October 7 attack and Israelās decades-long occupation of Palestinian territory. The spirit and format of this project are largely inspired by #BrexitSyllabus.
