Guerrilla History


Jan 5, 2024

In this episode of Guerrilla History, bring on two exceptional guests to discuss a critical topic for deepening our understanding of Palestine and the ongoing settler-colonial domination by the state of "Israel"!  Nick Estes and Mohamed Abdou come on the show for a conversation about Indigeneity and Palestine, and we found this discussion to be incredibly fruitful and useful when analyzing the situation in Occupied Palestine today. We are sure that you will also find use in this, and we encourage you to send it along to comrades to help them deepen their thinking of this as well!

A few pieces to check out:  Mohamed did an YouTube event and wrote an article on the topic "1492 Palestine". Nick was active in the in the drafting of a letter by indigenous activists and scholars condemning the actions of Israel, and there is also an episode of The Red Nation where you can learn about this letter and indigenous solidarity with Palestine.
