Edward Said stated three decades ago that the goal of zionism was the same as the European settlers who came to the Americas in the 18th and 19th Century, erased the indigenous civilizations, and put the survivors of the genocide on marginal land to be forgotten. Here in Canada these are called ‘reserves’ and our First Nations are still struggling to right these historical wrongs. However recent statements from the Historian Ilan Pappe claim that now we are witnessing the beginning of the end of the zionist project. Israel is a throwback to settler/colonial regimes of the 18th and 19th Centuries, and in the long term is not viable in the 21st Century. He adds that even in these are very dark times for Palestinians, there are signs that the zionist state is starting to crumble, and as defenders of Palestinian rights we must double and triple our efforts and not give up hope.
