13. From the River To The Sea! The History of Palestinian Resistance, Part 1
In this very special episode, the Minyan sits down with Ma'tez from the West Bank to discuss the long history of Palestinian resistance to foreign domination. We begin with the Musha' communal land system that Palestinian villages maintained under Ottoman Rule, the first conflicts with Zionist settlers in the late 1800s, how World War I affected Palestine, and the Great Revolt of the 1930s. In Part 2, coming soon, Ma'tez & the Minyan discuss Al Nakba, its aftermath in the 1950s, the 6 Day War, both Intifadas, and the current situation in Palestine--stay tuned for that within the next 2 weeks.
You can reach Ma'tez on twitter @Shuyu3i
For those listening as episodes are released, Ḥag Pesaḥ! This is, of course, not the Minyan Holiday Special you might have been expecting (listen to Yaakov's introduction to this episode for more on that) but it does serve to undermine the Zionist narrative of the Exodus as prefiguring political Zionism--more on just how wrong that narrative is in future episodes!
