#143 Shared Resistance: Blak & Palestinian Solidarities

On today’s show we seek to continue to uplift the ongoing resistance and interconnectedness of displaced peoples on these lands, in Palestine and occupied territories. Tracing settler colonial roots in so-called Australia, this moment a day after the referendum and links to Palestine. 

Content note: some of this episode contains mention of graphic acts of genocide, dispossession and state-sanctioned violence. 

Hear from Darumbal and South Sea Islander journalist and co-organiser with ICRR Amy McQuire and Palestinian organiser Amal - they’ll speak from their unique perspectives on what solidarity with Palestine looks like and contextualising it this week during the referendum and the siege happening in Palestine. We will also hear from Ramia Sultan, Palestinian organiser with APAN sharing what’s happening on the ground in Gaza. Plus, a reading from the Sunday Paper Our Shared Resistance by Amy McQuire read by Gomeroi poet Alison Whittaker.
