S2 Ep9: Settler colonialism in historic Palestine, home as a site of resistance

On this week’s episode we are joined by Sarona Bedwan, on behalf of Makan, a Palestinian-led transformative education organisation that strengthens voices for Palestinian rights. Continuing on our series centred on the concept of home, this time we’re talking about how Israeli settler colonialism not only violently displaces Palestinian people from their homeland but commits psychological and ecological violence in efforts to sever the connection Palestinians have to land that they, and their ancestors, have cultivated and lived in relationship with for generations. Amid the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, it is more important than ever that we are deepening our knowledge of how settler colonialism operates, the resistance of Palestinians themselves, and how this can inform our action in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
