Summary

As this year comes to a close, we’re releasing a Best of 2024 series—by no means objective, and making plenty of tough decisions to leave a few favorites out. Each of these will also be posted in the public feed. We’ll be back January 13th with new episodes. Original description: Beatrice speaks with Rasha Abdulhadi about the last six months in the escalation of genocidal violence against the people of Palestine, what has and hasn’t changed since the last time Rasha spoke with us on October 13th, and why appeals to “peace” are not the same as calls for liberation, as well as the linkages between the struggle for Palestinian liberation and political action around covid and long covid. This episode was originally released on April 18 & April 25, 2024.
