In this episode in our series on Palestinian Liberation Theology we discuss the intersectionality of the Palestinian experience by discussing matters of identity from a feminist perspective with Marah Sarji, who is a Christian Palestinian working on a master’s degree in Anthropology from Tel Aviv University. Over the course of the episode, Marah talks with us about the complexities of her identity, being a Christian Palestinian woman living in Jerusalem. In particular, Marah shares so much with us about her lived experience feeling unable to identify fully with the broader culture, sometimes passing as an Israeli, and hearing men “break the silence” with her about what they formerly did in the West Bank as members of the IDF. Marah’s main emphasis is that Palestinian Liberation Theology from a feminist perspective should not only seek liberation from Zionism, but also from patriarchy, and should also seek the liberation of all Palestinians, not simply Christians. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Dr. Brandon Hurlbert, and Dr. Nico Catman.
