Ahead of @davidkr.bsky.social's book Comrade Delta, on the 2013 scandal in the Socialist Workers Party, DK Renton assesses the recent changes at the top of the party, asking 'Is it time to forgive the SWP?' davidrenton590934.substack.com/p/is-it-time...
"The apology says, “We were wrong in how we responded to the two cases”, how were you wrong? “The process we had in place at that time was entirely inadequate”, how was it inadequate? The SWP is willing to admit to the vaguest and most weightless of things – error – but can’t say what people did, or who was affected by their actions, or why they were so destructive."

Endorsements of The Foundations of Zionism by Sabri Jiryis. 'Every person who claims to oppose Israeli genocide needs to read this book' - Steven Salaita 'This compelling book is essential reading' - Joseph Massad AVAILABLE NOW www.ebb-books.com/books/p/the-...
“A magisterial and comprehensive analysis of Zionism from its earliest iterations to the present. Every person who claims to oppose Israeli genocide needs to read this book for a proper understanding of Zionist motivations and attitudes, told from the point of view of its primary victims. The translation of Jiryis's opus gives Anglophone observers of Palestine the opportunity to bypass the anguished dilemmas of one-time Zionists that dominate discourse in the Global North and instead engage with one of the finest texts of the Palestinian intellectual tradition.”

Steven Salaita

Professor in the English and Comparative Literature department, The American University in Cairo“His book on Zionism, originally published in Arabic, has finally been translated to English and at a most auspicious moment in the history of the ideology and the movement. Based on extensive research from Zionist and Israeli sources, Jiryis’ The Foundations of Zionism will be equally indispensable to readers and specialists interested in the policies of the state of Israel and its official ideology. Erudite and thorough, the book reminds us that nothing the state of Israel does falls outside the foundations of its ruling ideology. This compelling book is essential reading.”

Joseph Massad

Professor of Modern Arab Politics and Intellectual History at Columbia University

On the left of the image is the book cover for Foundations of Zionism.

On the right is a quote:
“A foundational and vital work. Jiryis’ book is indispensable reading for anyone seeking to understand Zionism's monstrous rise from myth to mandate, and a sobering reminder that there is no redeeming it.”
Mohammed El-Kurd, Palestinian writer and poet

On the bottom right it says, Available October 7th.On the left of the image is the book cover for Foundations of Zionism.

On the right is the following passage:

'The Foundations of Zionism chronicles Zionism’s development from its early origins to the establishment of the British mandate over Palestine in 1923, refuting the movement’s own foundational myths. Sabri Jiryis delves into Zionism’s successive congresses and factional struggles, its early failures to settle in Palestine and the formation of armed militias, and its temporary alliances with the Ottoman Empire before securing support from Western colonial powers.

In a newly written conclusion, Jiryis reconsiders the Zionist project 100 years on from the Balfour Declaration and amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza.'

'This book is a tremendous resource and an exciting, theoretically sophisticated achievement...Alex Charnley and Michael Richmond's intervention could not be more critical.' - Sophie Lewis (@reproutopia.bsky.social) Preorder now: www.ebb-magazine.com/books/p/fasc...
A picture of an endorsement of Charnley and Richmond's 'Fascism and the Women's Cause.' The book cover is on the left and to the right is the endorsement in white font on a lavender background.

The endorsement says: 'This book is a tremendous resource and an exciting, theoretically sophisticated achievement. At a time when certain feminisms have reasserted themselves as one of fascism's forms of appearance, Alex Charnley and Michael Richmond's intervention could not be more critical.'

Sophie Lewis' name is in a larger font and underneath in a smaller font are Lewis' publications, 'Author of Full Surrogacy Now (Verso, 2019) and Enemy Feminisms (Haymarket Books, 2025).'

On the bottom right is a cream coloured badge that says in lavender font 'Preorder now.'
