Booklaunch: “Overcoming Zionism: Creating a Single Democratic State in Israel/Palestine”.
Wednesday April 4th, 7pm
In his latest book, Kovel argues that the inner contradictions of Zionism have led Israel to a “state-sponsored racism” fully as incorrigible as that of apartheid South Africa and deserving of the same resolution. He argues that only a path toward single-state secular democracy can provide the justice essential to healing the wounds of the Middle East.
