Description
This episode began as a thought months ago, not long after the Oct 7, 2023 Hamas attack. At that time, we anticipated violence - there’s a long history of Israeli assaults on the Palestinian people. We did not, however, anticipate a genocidal campaign and widening regional war. It’s a wide ranging talk between Dennis and Dwayne since Charles was unable to join us this time. Our conversation does not have the structure of our usual shows. There is a film, Farha, at the heart of things and we do discuss it but more as a point of reference and to critique or review. We’ll talk about Farha at greater length on a subsequent show. The links shared with the show notes will point you to information resources we’ve found helpful in sorting through an unfolding disaster. Resources Farha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farha_(film) The Great Book Robbery The Great Book Robbery is a powerful and poignant chronicle of cultural destruction. It tells the story of the 70,000 Palestinian books that were looted by the newly formed State of Israel in 1948. The film weaves together a range of storylines to create a dramatic, engaging, and deeply emotional structure. https://bbrunner.eu/movie/the-great-book-robbery/ Leila Khaled Interview: Palestine is an International Liberation Struggle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BBvzyKL-G4 A Life in Struggle: Exclusive with Leila Khaled, Icon of Palestinian Resistance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSv0Vqk_ILg Solidarity with Palestine: Free Resources and Further Reading https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/blogs/news/solidarity-with-palestine-free-resources-and-further-reading?_pos=4&_sid=e479de814&_ss=r The 1948 Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappé https://ciaotest.cc.columbia.edu/olj/jps/vol36-141/vol36-141_b.pdf Ten Myths About Israel by Ilan Pappe https://www.jadaliyya.com/Author/4114 Gaza An Inquest into Its Martyrdom by Norman Finkelstein https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520318335/gaza The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World by Antony Loewenstein https://www.versobooks.com/products/2684-the-palestine-laboratory
