The Ideology of Settler Colonialism and the Israel-Palestine Conflict

Since Hamas’s attack on Israel last October 7, the term “settler colonialism” has become central to public debate in the United States. This talk will survey the history and implications of a concept new to most Americans, but already established and influential in academic circles, which is shaping the way a generation thinks about the history of the United States, Israel and Palestine, and a host of political issues.

Adam Kirsch is a poet, critic, and editor at The Wall Street Journal. He is the author, most recently, of On Settler Colonialism: Ideology, Violence, and Justice (W. W. Norton).
