“This is the most comprehensive and timely book I know of that allows us finally to understand how the Zionist movement and the state of Israel dragged the Middle East and the world to this ghastly era of genocide, settler-colonial atrocities, Western complicities, and still expanding warfare. It required a neuroscientist and a historian—and much honesty—to unpack Zionism’s combined criminality, cruelty, and colonial-imperial collusion with world powers over the past 100 years. This book’s scientific evidence alongside the historical accounts allows us to understand how otherwise decent human beings have engaged in a non-stop rampage by Zionists, Israelis, and their global allies that peaked in the Gaza genocide with unprecedented cruelty against defenseless civilians, yet keeps expanding across the region and the world.”

“Wired to Steal goes deep to expose profound truths about Israel. Readers will learn how the vastly dehumanizing project of Zionism sold itself and why so many people bought it. This is a powerful book that undermines propaganda and elevates human possibilities.”

– Norman Solomon, author of War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine

“Finally, a clear-eyed account of how Zionist ideology has weaponized Jewish trauma to justify settler-colonial violence. Whether you’re new to the subject or have been engaged for decades, this highly original analysis reveals new layers of understanding. Crucially, it also charts a path forward. A vital read.”

– Maha Nassar, author of Brothers Apart: Palestinian Citizens of Israel and the Arab World

"Giving several examples of what contributes to decolonisation, the authors also take a global perspective, noting the necessity not only of deradicalising settler-colonial society but also of transforming global politics. Away from the politics of false hope, the book underlines the possibility of anti-colonial struggle for liberation, while acknowledging the enormity of what the colonised are up against."
