From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
Here's a history lesson on Israel and Palestine. It's dense but simmered down enough for anyone to understand. First we do a little book review on the principle Zionist text, The Jewish Question, to better understand the logic of Zionism. Then we cover the history of Israel/Palestine, from the initial Jewish migrations, to the revolts in the 1930's, to the Nakba, to the establishment of the Palestinian Authority.
Here's a list of the sources we used for this episode as well as the initial piece Saad wrote earlier this year (which uses many of the same sources).
