This chapter explores the Palestinian people's aspirations for self-determination and their frustration with the lack of support from the British and the League of Nations. It also discusses the global support for the Palestinian cause, including instances of support on campuses and among various populations.
People with no direct connection to the Middle East have taken to seeing the Palestinian cause as an anti-colonial struggle connected to their own experience. Columbia historian Rashid Khalidi explains why “decolonization” is resonating worldwide.
This episode was produced by Haleema Shah, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Serena Solin and Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Noel King.
