Happy to see this post, as I just bought the book.

Funnily enough, I saw a clip of a Pro-Hamas demonstrator referencing Franz Fanon's Wretched of the Earth. I know it isn't the same work but it is interesting seeing his work, given the title of the video, being used in an anti-semitic manner.

Interesting. Was this a Pro-Hamas demonstrator or an anti-Israel demonstrator? Because that’s an important distinction.

People use all sorts of philosophers in ways that might go against their works. Nothing new there.

Considering Israel is a settler state, why would they not engage in anti-colonial struggle? And what do you mean “pro-Hamas demonstrator? Is this someone explicitly supporting Hamas, or just someone who doesn’t support Israel? You might want to read Fanon. Decolonization is never nonviolent.
