“The being of Israel is the non-being of Palestine”: Understanding Zionism through the Work of Fayez Sayegh

On the fiftieth anniversary of Resolution 3379, John Harfouch writes about how its advocates understood racism and resistance.

“As I interpret Sayegh’s writings, Zionist racism manifests itself as the ideological justification for and the practical administration of de-developmental policies implemented on the basis of a racial distinction between who will be fructified and who will be wasted…”

“To engage Fayez Sayegh’s thought is to enter a different paradigm in which ‘racism’ and ‘anti-racism’ cannot be thought outside the constellation of initiatives including incursions against monopolized supply chains and the fortification of national security initiatives against colonial and imperial subjugation.”
