Cutting through and dismantling propaganda, it exposes how the ruling classes of settler colonial projects hijack the human brain’s fear circuitry, systems of addiction, empathy pathways, and identity mechanisms to make oppression feel normal, even righteous. At its core, the book is about psychological hacking: how political systems are designed to exploit human vulnerability to fear and social belonging in order to turn communities against others, justify mass violence, and conceal theft as self-defense. Zionism is presented here as the most urgent, real-time case study, yet the book’s framework applies to settler colonialism worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on decades of research in neuroscience and extensive historical scholarship, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWired to Steal\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecombines vivid storytelling, clear science, and deep moral urgency to reveal the playbook of settler colonialism, and to offer a roadmap for dismantling it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Olive Branch Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68068460429597,"sku":"9781623715359","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/5897\/files\/Screenshot2026-11-12at3.16.58PM.png?v=1794514626","url":"https:\/\/www.middleeastbooks.com\/products\/wired-to-steal-zionism-and-the-shaping-of-the-western-mind-by-yoav-litvin-and-ilan-pappe","provider":"Middle East Books and More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
