How do societies come to accept violence? Bringing history and behavioral neuroscience together, Ilan Pappé and Yoav Litvin examine how Zionism and Israel/Palestine have shaped Western political thinking, and how systems of land theft, dispossession, and violence come to be accepted-and how these patterns might be challenged.
