Iran and Palestine: Rethinking Liberation Beyond the Binaries of Imperialism and Theocracy
The recent illegal war on Iran by the US and Israel has pushed the political support for Iran and Palestine into a problematically oppositional binary. This binary, which is aggressively promoted by Zionists and greatly benefits their project of domination and destruction in the region, has presented imperialist and Zionist forces as the only hope of the people of Iran for liberation from a brutal dictatorship. Meanwhile, those who support the liberation of Palestinians are pressured to enact their anti-imperialist and anti-Zionism stance by siding with the Iranian regime against its people. In this session, we will work against this binary, make a case for Iranian-Palestinian solidarity, and envision forms of liberation that does not require the oppression of one group for another.
