Join Dr. Yoav Litvin as he discusses his new book, Wired to Steal: Zionism and the Shaping of the Western Mind, co-written with Professor Ilan Pappe (https://interlinkbooks.com/product/wired-to-steal/).

Integrating insights from behavioral neuroscience with the work of Fanon and other revolutionary thinkers, Wired to Steal proposes an interdisciplinary model for understanding how colonial systems normalize extraction, domination and violence across generations. Drawing on decades of research in neuroscience and extensive historical scholarship, Wired to Steal combines vivid storytelling, clear science, and deep moral urgency to reveal the playbook of settler colonialism, and to offer a roadmap for dismantling it.
