About this listen

Our primary objectives are for you to demonstrate that you can investigate migration stories, and artwork, and contextualize them through academic research. Examples and supporting documents were developed through Wayne Community College with Deniz Tuck (Assessing Sources handout) and with a partnership with the Center for Middle Eastern Studies and through World View at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.WorldLINK Foundation

    Hello listeners! Have you ever wondered what makes people leave their homeland and move to a foreign land altogether? What makes them change their entire lifestyle?

  • Israel and Palestine
    Feb 23 2024

    In our documentary podcast, we are raising the issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its impact on forced migration between these two countries.

    We explain the roots and history of the conflict, the help provided to the migrants by the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency), the migration laws, and the socio-economic situation of the refugees. Beginning with the Palestinian Exodus of 1948, 85% of the Palestinian Arabs fled or were expelled from their homes, followed by a series of laws passed by the first Israeli government that prevented Arabs from returning to their homes or claiming their property. The refugee status has been tough since the exodus. The Palestinian refugees settled in camps throughout the Arab world. The Arab League instructed its members to deny Palestinians citizenship ‘to avoid dissolution of their identity and protect their right of return to their homeland’, which made their conditions gruesome. The Palestinian socioeconomic crisis has now reached a breaking point.

    We have focused a significant part of our presentation on personal stories of migrants. We discuss the stories of children, of a family, an expectant mother, and an elderly citizen, all of whom had to migrate due to the conflict. We’ve drawn a comparison between migrants and refugees to deepen our understanding of this project. What we’ve recognized through this project is our privilege and how we can use it to help those less fortunate, especially during trying times. We firmly believe that in today’s day and age, giving shouldn’t be a choice anymore but a way of living.
