Munk Dialogue with Adam Kirsch

The dangerous ideology behind settler colonialism

On this Munk Dialogue we are talking about an academic theory that has become ubiquitous with criticism of Israel and to a larger extent, the West.

Adam Kirsch is an editor at the Wall Street Journal and his new book, On Settler Colonialism: Ideology, Violence, and Justice, explains how this concept – which was once relegated to the halls of academia – has spilled out into the public sphere and is now shaping the way many young people understand history.  He argues that the modern concept of settler colonialism has become a dangerous ideology which seeks to avenge past injustices rather than trying to reconcile them. And he explains why Israel has become an easy target for protesters who view the world through this particular lens.
