Intifada, Intifada!

About this episode

The episode features a discussion with activist Wesam about the illegal war in Iran and the broader implications of imperialism in West Asia, emphasizing the Palestinian struggle for survival.

This week, our comrade and activist Wesam stops by and we discuss the illegal war in Iran and West Asia, as a whole, for American and Israeli control of the region. Our conversation revolved around the imperialist powers on this planet, hell bent on completely wiping out indigenous populations and creating a world far too bleak for me to imagine. The Palestinian struggle is all of our struggle. It always has been. It's the struggle for life. The right to live without fear of genocide! For many this is still a far off dream. Those of us with passing or white complexion may never fully comprehend the suffering faced everyday by humans who have been set for extermination. Not yet anyway. We talk about the out of touch world, as it sits back while others massacres humans and preach peace in the same breath. Our conversation also circles the truth that if they come for you in the morning, they'll come for us in the evening. We illustrate the lack of safety for humans to exist as they are. Thank you Wesam, please keep up the good work in spite of the hatred ypu face everyday.
