Episode notes
History Makes Genocide Continuous
- Violence in Palestine is continuous and rooted in over a century of settler colonialism rather than a single event.
- Framing the struggle historically prevents being conned into accepting temporary or superficial fixes.
Palestine's Freedom Threatens Settler Order
- Palestine's fate matters globally because a free Palestine would challenge the legitimacy of settler-colonial states.
- Anglo-settler colonies share structural solidarity in maintaining colonial orders.
Ceasefire Can Be A Misleading Term
- 'Ceasefire' can be misleading when used without Palestinian demands and context.
- In settler-colonial terms, ceasefire may mean enforced submission rather than liberation.
