Freeing Palestine

Sobre el libro Freeing Palestine de Abdaljawad Omar publicado por Verso al 2025:

The events of October 7 have tested the limits of Western solidarity with Palestinians´ struggle for liberation from Israeli occupation. Far from an irrational eruption of violence, however, this short and accessible book demonstrates how the shift to armed resistance is not merely an ideological choice but a material necessity arising from the concrete reality of three decades of Palestinian confrontation with settler colonialism, beginning with the first Intifada. Through a rigorous examination of both the Palestinian resistance´s material conditions and ideological formations, this work aims to reveal the inexorable logic that propels the resistance forward, asserting its ethical imperative against the backdrop of colonial oppression.
