Rania Khalek was joined by historian Ussama Makdisi to discuss 15 months of genocide in Gaza. They explore academic complicity, Gaza’s “scholasticide” (the deliberate destruction of Gaza’s educational institutions), Israel’s expansion into Syria and the Golan Heights, the history of Arab Jews, and the future of resistance in the region.
