you guys know how to say my last name uh shirt shirt wait sir yeah shirt sir sir yeah shirt sir

yeah shirt sir sir got it yep and we are rolling hello and welcome to or welcome back to

colonial outcast your neighborhood anti-imperialist podcast.

I'm Greg Stoker, and I'm joined, as per usual, by Mark Wayne.

And today we are yet again centering Palestine, the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza,

and this expression of late-stage colonial violence that it's experiencing.

So it's been a few days since Aaron Bushnell, a cyber specialist in the U.S. Air Force,

was anti-Semitic. And for a second, I was like, oh my God, are we back at square one? And this is good

because I think for a lot of people going forward, we actually might be. So I realized two things,

Aaron Bushnell's action is going to make some people start asking questions,

and those people are going to be starting from square one when it comes to the Israel-Palestine question.

So to help us hash this out for people, we have Michael Scher, comedian and activist, who is incidentally Jewish and anti-Zionists, which we'll get into in a second, and he hosts, co-hosts the Palestine Pod, a podcast that breaks down the latest Palestine-related news with commentary and interviews mostly every week.

So the links for that are in the description below.

And thanks for coming on, Michael.

Thank you so much for having me and sharing your platform.

Yeah.

All right.

So we kind of here just like to open on action.

But before we play a clip from last night's Seth Meyer's show,
