Because of July’s busy schedule at Colonial Outcasts, we are only now releasing a month-old episode with Wally Rashid, Palestinian American, entrepreneur and social media influencer. Recorded on July 11th, Wally relays the continuing horrors on his family village of Burin as well as other West Bank villages. The violent pogroms which took place on the 4th of July as Americans enjoyed their celebration of false independence are just an example of many that have defined reality for Palestinians struggling to endure under the brutal occupation. As the violent Israeli settlements, fueled by cultish belief systems of religious supremacy and blood lust against the inhabitants of West Bank villages rooted in the landscape for thousands of years, Wally has been working within the United States political structure to get these settlements sanctioned. We discuss the complexity of this work that Wally has taken on as well as the experience of his family’s village during these violent raid by former IDF settlers. Wally also discusses the value of long-term strategies through US politics and finding political avenues outside the box of ideology. While Wally and Mark hold different opinions regarding political strategy and direction, the urgency for any and all avenues in the fight for Palestine’s liberation from the everyday horrors of genocide, settler violence and ethnic cleansing is what drives the comradery within the movement as exemplified with Wally’s critical voice being platformed a third time on Colonial Outcasts.

So Wally, Palestinian-American, he's been doing very important work within the political structure of Washington |
1:12.0 | to get settlements sanctioned. He has come out publicly for Kamala Harris. Let's disagree. If we don't |
1:20.2 | all agree, but let that be a normal function of activism instead of alienation. So this episode was actually recorded over a month ago, |
1:29.6 | but hasn't been released due to the busy schedule of July. But it's actually beneficial |
1:34.2 | that it worked out this way because since it was recorded, there's been a lot of contention |
