- Tamara and Asa speak to leading Palestinian intellectual Joseph Massad for a wide-ranging discussion on the true role of the Palestinian Authority as a collaborationist body with Israeli apartheid, repression and colonization.
Massad teaches modern Arab politics and intellectual history at Columbia University in New York. He is the author of several books, including Desiring Arabs and Islam and Liberalism.
He writes a regular column for Middle East Eye and has also written for The Electronic Intifada.
“I’ve been describing the Palestinian Authority as a collaborating authority ever since its inception back in 1994,” Massad tells us. He explains that the PA was always intended to protect Israel and stop Palestinians from resisting occupation.
He explains the long history of Israeli and Zionist efforts and how they so often failed due to the chosen collaborators’ lack of popular support and national legitimacy among Palestinians.
But the PA has proven the ideal collaborator for Israel, since it has been able to draw on the legitimacy provided by the Palestine Liberation Organization’s history of revolutionary struggle.
The PA allowed Israel to “transform the PLO itself into an anti-PLO collaborationist leadership,” Massad explains.

so good to listen to people with such deep knowledge on Palestine. I learned a lot. Thank you!
Thank you for inviting this guest. 🙏❤️👏I love your program. I knew PA was not quite legitimate, but I didn’t know about the extent of their cooperation with IDF and such! And the thuggery, ugliness and other shameful and horrific history!

I just put a comment one second ago and now it was erased
Look at afghanistan ISLAM WILL NOT LOOSE.....LA ILLAHA ILALLAH...
Is that what you call winning? The country turned upside down, people have no rights/freedoms and are starving
Then Palestine is also winning since 1947
Abbas has built himself a palatial house in Ramallah. Abbas murdered Yasser Arafat
Massacre of shatila and sabra.....
will hamas do better .?
@bart versteege Maybe Hamas will do a better job of making sure Palestinians have what they need: clean water, electricity, health care, education, etc, than the Palestinian Authority has done.
