Susana Khalil on why the Palestinian Cause is about the fight against the worst colonialism in our human history.

In this episode of The Ignoramus's Guide Pod, Ileana and co-host Ahmed Sharan talk to politologist , researcher and founder of the Canaán Association. They talk about why we must insist on being precise with framing the Palestinian Cause within the context of colonialism, how antisemitism is often misunderstood and why even though it is a struggle, we need to not allow fear to defeat our spirit. In the process, Ileana grapples with her unconscious internalisation of the common Imperialist attitude that we in the West can determine what is the “right” way for Palestinians to fight back.
