Tolerance Is a Wasteland

Palestine and the Culture of Denial

Saree Makdisi

Discover how an alleged progressive and democratic Israel sustains a violent project of dispossession and discrimination. Despite well-documented evidence of racism and human rights abuses, Israel has long been embraced by the most liberal sectors of society for its ideals of tolerance and inclusivity. However, Tolerance Is a Wasteland argues that this is achieved through a specific form of denial, negating the Palestinian presence in Palestine in such a way that the act of denial is itself denied. Author Saree Makdisi explores this through various examples, including the haunted landscape of depopulated Palestinian villages, the theater of "pinkwashing," and the controversial Museum of Tolerance. Discover the system of emotional investments and perceptions that makes this cognitive dissonance possible.
