Zionism is settler-colonialism and settler-colonialism is an act of genocide. This current wave of massacres of Palestinians in Gaza is part of a long process of ethnic cleansing that began with murderous attacks on Palestinian villages prior to and in 1948, then proceeded to the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians in the Nakba.

Imperialism Was Built on Settler-Colonialism
Abstract This paper builds on Nkrumah’s approach of starting from the point of knowing the enemy.
