History of Israel and Palestine: A Story of Modern Colonialism
58:58 Share

The conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians is long and complex and goes back 100 years. Many argue that their beef is religious but it is a land, control and power issue. In fact it's an issue we've seen play out in history time and time again. 

Joined by Tamar a member of the Palestine Youth Movement NYC chapter and a NYU graduate student with a concentration in American, studies, we get some great historical and personal insight on what's going on currently and the demands of Palestinians fighting for their freedom. 

Listen to this episode:

• To learn how the beef between Israelites and Palestinians started 100 years ago and how it got to where it is today.
• To see the connection between Palestine's resistance and other liberation movements, like the  Black Lives Matter movement here in America.
• To get an understanding of the US involvement in the violence.
•  To gather resources to take a deeper dive on the topic and take steps to get involved.
