« Resisting containment : Antifascism and Movements of support to the Palestinians in Trump’s America »
Résumé de l’intervention : The political situation in theUnited States is increasingly fraught and complex. Under the presidencyof Donald Trump one is continually presented with the unexpected andthe unprecedented. Nevertheless without a doubt one of the mostconstant elements of his regime is a commitment to white supremacy andthe notion that the US is fundamentally a white Christian nation. Atthe same time the government of Benjamin Netanyahu has embraced theTrump regime despite the pronounced anti-semitism of whitesupremacists. Political expediency has thus trumped ideological purityand we see both the US and Israel accommodating ethno-nationalism ;which can be seen as a form of fascism.
It would seem only logical then that a critique of Israeli statepolicies would be commensurate with a critique of any ethno-nationalistproject regardless of its precise location. One could easily think tooof Modi’s India and the suppression of Kashmir. Nevertheless acritique has been mounted both in the US and especially in Israel thatanti-fascist activism and pro-Palestinian activism are mutuallyexclusive. My talk will try to explain how and why that critique hasbeen mounted and remind us of why the two projects are actuallyentirely compatible.
