Abstract

Adam Kirsch's book, "On Settler Colonialism: Ideology, Violence, and Justice," explores the concept of settler colonialism and its impact on progressive politics. Kirsch traces the origins of this idea from academia to mainstream politics and its use to justify violence, particularly in response to Hamas's attack on Israel. The term "settler colonialism" was initially applied to countries like Australia, Canada, and the United States, viewing their European settlement as an ongoing structure of invasion and genocide. Kirsch also discusses the designation of Israel as a "settler colonial" society and the implications it has for calls for its destruction. [Extracted from the article]
