Summary

In this important and wide-ranging episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on two esteemed guests, Professors Rabab Abdulhadi and Ariel Salzmann, to discuss the conflict in occupied Palestine, the bombardment in Gaza, attempts to legitimize the Zionist project that is the so-called State of Israel, and public activist movements. This is another really crucial conversation that builds off of our previous episode with Max Ajl and Patrick Higgins on Palestinian Resistance vs. the Zionist Project. If you find this conversation useful, please send it along to your comrades, friends, and family - we really need people to understand this!

Our guests recommend you to check out the work done by Jadaliyya, the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Study Program/Teaching Palestine, the statement from the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism, the statement from Birzeit University, and the work being done by Jewish Voice for Peace.

Rabab Abdulhadi is the founding Director and Senior Scholar of Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Study Program at San Francisco State University, co-founding Editorial Board Member of the Islamophobia Studies Journal, and Director/Principal Investigator of Teaching Palestine, as well as author of numerous scholarly works.

Ariel Salzmann is a professor of Islamic and world history at Queen's University, and her research addresses theories of state formation, histories of Mediterranean communities and Muslim societies, the transformation of market systems and the making of global capitalism. Her forthcoming book, The Exclusionary West: Medieval Minorities and the Making of Modern Europe, will be out in May 2024.
