The American Palestinian historian has the "Long Read" in the Guardian today.
I've read his book he mentions in article.
The attack on Gaza is the latest event in what he calls the hundred years war on Palestine.
In his work he foregrounds the importance to Zionism and later Israel of western international governments support. First British empire and now USA. Without this support Zionism/ Israel would be hard pressed to act in way it does.
He sees younger generation in West as being more pro Palestine. Now they have other ways of getting news than the mainstream press.
The non Western world such as South Africa are taking more of a role now.
He says Biden is basically continuing policies of Trump re Israel.
The "normalisation" process being one. If this had continued the Palestinians would have been left with little support.
The Arab people are very pro Palestine. The autocratic leaders aren't.
The peace process was a shame. No western country will stand up to Israel to make a real two state solution.
The long read: While much has changed since 7 October, the horrific events of the past six months are not unique, and do not stand outside history

It's quite a bleak picture.
