This 4-part course from the Palestinian Youth Movement will study the history and present of US intervention in the Middle East to equip participants with a deeper understanding of US imperialism, Israel’s role within it, and its consequences for working people in the US and around the world. 

For nearly half a century, the US has been involved in endless wars in the Middle East that have claimed the lives of millions, lined the pockets of wealthy warmongers, and deteriorated conditions for working people. Over the same period, the US government has financially, politically, and militarily backed Israel’s occupation and colonization of Palestine, including through its full support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. People across the political spectrum have begun to question the US government’s continued commitment for a foreign policy predicated on endless war, devastating interventions, and unconditional support for Israel. This course will illuminate how it is the imperialist system, and not just the ideological positions or policies of any one politician in office, that keeps America at war and invested in genocide and the destabilization of the Middle East. Without understanding the imperialist system that underlies the drive for war, we cannot understand how to confront it

America's Forever Wars in the Middle East is a 4-part hybrid course from Dec. 2 - 11, meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:30 - 8:30 PM ET.
