The Palestine Pod

Hi guys ! thanks to our new followers allowing us to reach +1000 subscribers, we are on "Community" now!

We started this podcast three months ago on a mission as a Palestinian refugee in exile and an anti-Zionist Jewish-American to do our part to support the decolonization of Palestine and full liberation of Palestinians on the ground and in exile. We never could have expected the love and support that y’all have shown us and the feeling is mutual. We are going to keep doing our part to amplify and uplift the voices of the freedom fighters on the ground and support the liberation of Palestinians and all oppressed and colonized peoples worldwide.
Education is power. Each one teach one is how we prevail especially when the discourse has been dominated by the colonizer’s narrative for 73 years. @thepalestinepod is certainly not the first and definitely won’t be the last platform to contribute to the growing shift in global consciousness in the discussion on Palestine but we will do everything in our power to harness the potential of this moment.
Palestinians have been expelled, dispossessed, uprooted, exiled, and murdered for 73 years by an apartheid regime that stole our land and keeps stealing our land. This is plain wrong so we know our cause is just. Our struggle is an anti-colonial, anti-racist struggle to live with rights on our land and participate in the governance that makes decisions impacting our lives. On the other hand, the settler colony’s cause is fundamentally unjust. There is no right to run a Jewish supremacist state (& certainly not on land where the majority of the natives pre expulsion were not Jewish). There is no right to “defend” yourself from the people you have expelled, oppressed and caged for 73 years. Rather, oppressed and colonized people under occupation have the right to resist the hostile takeover of their land by a military state, a nuclear power, and a recognized apartheid government.

Long live the resistance. Long live this liberation movement. Long live the Palestinian people, an example of dignity and humanity for the world despite generations of US-funded Zionist colonization and its brutal systems and structures of colonial violence. See you soon in a free Palestine.
