Professor Doumani gives us a critical historical context for what's happening in Palestine right now, explaining why and how Palestine's colonial history is relevant today. He draws a stark contrast between pre-WWI Gaza and the besieged Gaza of the present day and addresses important events in between.This episode was recorded on October 24 at 20:44 Palestine time. Hosted by: Mikey Muhanna, afikra Founder Executive Director👉: https://www.instagram.com/mikey_mu/ THIS SERIES IS PART OF THE AFIKRA PODCAST NETWORKPalestinian history and culture will not be erased. History warns us how media's dehumanizing rhetoric can pave the way for targeted aggression and allow society to permit atrocities as grave as genocide. It is resolutely within our mission to counteract this dehumanizing narrative. Afikra has always stood in unwavering solidarity with our Palestinian sisters & brothers and individuals of all nationalities and faiths around the world who bravely protest the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine and condemn the state violence of the Israeli colonial settler project.After the events of October 7, 2023 it felt impossible to go on with the podcast like business as usual. So we dedicated The afikra Podcast programming to special episodes relevant to understanding the historical context to what is happening in Palestine. Each episode was recorded in real-time and uploaded to YouTube and everywhere you get your podcasts. For most of these, the time of recording is key to understanding the context in which these conversations took place so make sure to refer to these and to check out all of these highly informative conversations with guests who are from completely different disciplines and have generously shared their time and insight in these dark times.And as we entered the new year and the atrocities continue, we deemed it necessary to create an exclusive series dedicated to Palestinian history and culture. This is how this podcast came about and will continue to exist so long as the fight for liberation and peace continues.
