Pod Casty For MeAdam Resurrected (2008)Sorry for the late update, everybody - we got trapped in one of those two-person horse costumes for like 48 hours, really really scary. But we're back to talk pretty seriously about Paul Schrader's 2008 literary adaptation ADAM RESURRECTED, the story of a German Jewish clown who becomes a concentration camp commander's human dog and then finds himself the Van Wilder of an Israeli psychiatric facility after the war. It is at once a very relevant and profoundly unhelpful film for the current moment, but we do our best to get to the bottom of the ideas at work here. We...2024-09-222h 07
UpstreamPalestine Pt. 10: Healing from Zionism w/ Meital Yaniv"What Israel is doing right now has nothing to do with antisemitism. What Israel is doing right now is a genocide. What Israel has been doing for the past 75 years is apartheid, is occupation. There is no need for any one of us to serve in the IDF. The IDF should not exist. The state of Israel should not exist." These are the words of a former Israeli soldier turned anti-Zionist organizer: Meital Yaniv.

We began our ongoing series on Palestine with a critical exploration of Zionism, and in this episode, Part 8 of this series, we’ll be zooming in on one particular element of Zionism: the claim of indigeneity. Zionists claim that the Jewish people as a whole have a right to the land between the river and sea be...2024-03-261h 07
Radio Kookpunt30 - De ideologische basis van ons Palestina activismeHet contact tussen internationaal links en de revolutionaire Palestijnse beweging is sinds de jaren ‘90 afgebrokkeld. Dit heeft grote invloed gehad op ons begrip van revolutie, bevrijding, imperialisme, kolonialisme en zionisme. Door het Palestijnse verzet niet meer als leidraad te nemen voor onze Palestina solidariteitswerk, blijven alleen imperialistische instituten over zoals de VN en het ICJ om onze hoop op te vestigen.
In deze aflevering proberen we de ideologische basis terug te vinden, die nodig is om ons Palestina-activisme optimaal te kunnen uitvoeren: wat bedoelen we met “from the river to the sea”? En waarom moeten we ons niks aantrekken van wat zi...2024-02-241h 04

Radio Kookpunt29 - Blijf mensen radicaliserenEen korte update van Rafel op dag 109 van de Gaza-genocide. Belangrijkste take-aways: Het IOF is deze oorlog aan het verliezen. En: we leven in een historisch moment van politisering en radicalisering. Herken dat moment en grijp het aan om mensen verder te radicaliseren. Dit is niet het moment om af te wachten, dit is het moment om te doen wat je kan doen.
Verder: hoe ontzettend inspirerend het gewapende verzet is en de aanmoediging om vooral meer te leren over het Palestijnse verzet en de Palestijnse geschiedenis.

UpstreamPalestine Pt. 6: One State with Ghada KarmiIt may seem like a distant dream to imagine that the decades-long settler-colonial project which is Israel could finally end and transform into a state where all faiths, ethnicities, and cultures could thrive together in their diversity and equality. It seems like a distant dream because, as we all know, the reality that we’re witnessing is the opposite of that — it’s an escalation of an already ruthless and bloody ethnic cleansing campaign that officially began in 1948. Although a democratic, multi-ethnic, multicultural, multi-religious state may seem like an exercise in imagination, it’s hardly a futile pursuit...2024-01-021h 07

But it's also important to remember that this latest escalation in violence is just that: an escalation, an increase in violence in a region where violence is the norm, not just militarily but also politically and economically — what we might call structural violence. The suffering in Palestine has been seen primarily as a humanitarian issue for decades now, but the reality is that reducing Palestine to a ma...2023-12-191h 01

UpstreamPalestine Pt. 4: False Solutions and Paths of Resistance with Sumaya AwadBefore the Zionist project and the state of Israel placed their boots on the neck of Palestine, this region was a multicultural, multi-religious land, where Christians, Jews, and Muslims lived side-by-side in relative peace and harmony. And despite what Israeli forces propagandize, this so-called “conflict” in the Middle East is not some millennia-old, intractable holy war between two religions. It's quite simply and very classically a case of settler-colonialism. When we see what's happening in Palestine from this perspective, the solution becomes quite clear: end the occupation. But despite this clarity, ending the occupation is no si...2023-12-121h 04

Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, Jews, and Christians all lived alongside one another in relative harmony, practicing agriculture and embroidery, or working in factories or along the coast in thriving port villages. Not to romanticize it too much, but in comparison to what was to come, this region was thriving.

Israel’s founding in 1948 was a result of premeditated ethnic cleansing campaigns across historic Palestine with the goal of displacing and dispossessing the indigenous Palestinian population of their land. The violence of the 1948 Nakba didn’t stop.
