Palestine solidarity activism is on the rise and under siege. Led by a coalition of students, labour unions, church groups, and Palestinian and Jewish community organizations, the movement advocating for Palestinian rights is forced to contend with relentless condemnation, legal sanctions, sidelining, and coordinated smear campaigns. Why is it so difficult to advocate for Palestine in Canada? This courageous book grapples with this question through a wide-ranging exploration of Palestine solidarity activism, linking the movement' s connections with global struggles against racism, imperialism, and colonialism. Through this indispensable contribution to our understanding of the complex social and historical forces at work, Advocating for Palestine touches on our era' s most urgent debates, linking histories and practices of settler colonialism and the meaning of solidarity today to the media' s role in shaping public opinion and the relationship between Canadian foreign and domestic policy with the movement' s strategy of boycotts and lessons from the South African anti-apartheid movement.
