  • Zach Foster is a fascinating guest: he hails from a strongly Zionist background, but it was through his scholarly research of Palestine that his perspective changed. We discuss the long history of Palestinians being dehumanised, why he thinks Israel makes Jewish people less safe, the history of Gaza and Hamas that's airbrushed, Israel's history of using hunger as a weapon of war, genocidal sentiments in Israel - and so much more.

      As Norman Finklestein has said, and said plainly "They (the Palestinian people) have the right to hate the people who have ruined their lives (Israel, and it's patron, the United States)". This is undeniably a core motivation behind ALL resistance movements, and though it's not 'pretty' , it is perfectly LEGITIMATE. It is a SANE response to historic and ongoing oppression and suppression.

    A Plea from a child in Gaxa.
    Dear world, I'm just a little one from Gaxa, where the sunsets used to be filled with laughter. But now, my family, my world, was taken away by a darkness called genocide. Please, listen to my tiny voice echoing the pain of countless children like me. We didn't ask for this sorrow; we dreamt of hugs, bedtime stories, and the warmth of family.
    I plead with you, grown-ups of the world, to open your hearts. We need you to see our tears and feel our loneliness. It's not about politics or borders; it's about love and shared humanity. Let your empathy be a balm for our broken hearts. Together, we can weave a tapestry of compassion that transcends oceans and heals wounds. Please, for the sake of little ones like me, let love be louder than hate. Stand together, and let's ensure no more children face the shadows that stole my family....

    My grandparents and great-grandparents were Indian from Bengal and we only started calling ourselves bangladeshis from 1971... That didn't mean we didn't exist or don't exist as the formation of nation-states doesn't necessarily mean you are not a people with an identity with a culture with a heritage or with a legacy or footprint in your land. Also as far as I understand with the fall of the Habsburgs there were also the emergence and newly formed nation states in Europe so therefore previously changing borders doesn't mean the people did not have a national identity heritage legacy and connection with their land.

    The Wanted 18 is a great documentary about the village of Beit Sahour, 1987 They bought 18 cows to produce their own milk so they did not have to buy milk from Israel. They also stopped payingctaxes to Israel, their occupier. It was a peaceful attempt to assert their right for self-determination. This is also when Hamas came to be after Israel crushed the Palestinians. The cows were considered a threat to Israel's security.

      Agreed! It shows how ridiculous this has been, and they are forced to live under conditions that nobody else will accept. In both Gaza and the West Bank, they have made it impossible for the Palestinians to produce enough food for themselves. Before 1948, they produced enough food to export some to other countries.

      Human rights, liberty, and freedom aren't given on a silver platter, and they're not taken overnight.
      Without hope, More than 1.5 million Palestinians in 1948 would've vanished.
      Holding on to every single grain of sand on the homeland; having faith, and never giving in/giving up is what is keeping the People of Palestine alive.
      If you only know how many millions of Palestinian families were broken; how many hopes and dreams were shattered; how much Palestinian blood was spilt since 1920, you'll be surprised how much Palestinians are totally in love with their homeland.
      Yes, hope, hard work, knowledge and patience.

Allport (1954) created a measure of prejudice in society based on events and attitudes surrounding World War II (WWII). What became known as Allport's Scale of Prejudice consists of five stages: antilocution, avoidance, discrimination, physical attack, and extermination. Society is made up of three groups withdrawers acquiescers and resisters. The silent majority of those who withdrawal and it is because of this group and those who actively support the genocide which allows this to happen.
