Join this webinar on Yanis Iqbal’s The Sword and the Neck: Reading the al-Aqsa Flood, a militant philosophical intervention that challenges pacifist and reconciliatory tendencies within liberal and Western Marxist thought. In the aftermath of Operation al-Aqsa Flood, philosophers such as Žižek and Balibar have reframed Gaza as a humanitarian or juridical issue, sidelining the centrality of anti-colonial struggle. This book decisively departs from that consensus, foregrounding Gaza as a key site of revolutionary confrontation. Drawing on Fanon’s insight that colonial power operates as “naked violence and only gives in when confronted with greater violence,” the text reasserts the necessity of anti-imperialist resistance against the US-Zionist axis.

A day of political discussion, debate and strategy, with speakers and workshops aimed at strengthening our movement in both ideas and action. We need to fight for a vision of the future where we can provide for all humans in a sustainable way. A post-scarcity world where we can meet human needs for everyone within planetary limits.
