[This interview was conducted for the New Left Review and is mirrored from their site. You can get a copy of The Hundred Years' War on Palestine here.] Let’s start with the present, not just in the sense of the horrors being inflicted on Palestine right now, but the present as part of Palestine’s still-active past.
