Ces guerres de conquête israélienne ont ravivé, chez les militant.e.s de la justice sociale, le besoin d'exprimer leur solidarité avec le peuple palestinien et l'importance de renouveler le vocabulaire politique lié à cette question.Dans cet ouvrage en partie rédigé dans le feu de l'action, à l'été 2014, Noam Chomsky et Ilan Pappé, deux ardents défenseurs de la cause palestinienne, mènent une longue conversation dirigée par Frank Barat, militant des droits de la personne. Pour eux, le problème palestinien est depuis le début un cas évident de colonialisme et de dépossession, même si on préfère le traiter comme une affaire complexe soi-disant difficile à comprendre et, plus encore, à résoudre.Leurs échanges portent à la fois sur le sionisme en tant que phénomène historique, la pertinence d'analyser la situation en Palestine comme un apartheid, l'efficacité de la campagne Boycott, désinvestissement et sanctions (BDS) et la viabilité de la solution à un ou à deux États...Tour d'horizon de la question palestinienne, ce livre a le mérite d'envisager la situation en Palestine comme un baromètre de la répression politique. Car l'injustice qui accable le peuple palestinien a des ramifications partout dans le monde. «De Ferguson à Barcelone, en passant par Mexico, nombreux sont les gouvernements qui calquent les méthodes employées par Israël pour opprimer les Palestiniens. Leur recours aux mêmes tactiques et, souvent, aux mêmes armes démontre que les Palestiniens servent maintenant de cobayes - et que la Palestine est devenue un grand laboratoire» -- Frank Barat.
