Thanks Avigail. I just finished Pappe's segment which is just over an hour long. He adds some history (of course) that I wasn't aware of regarding Herzl's early tactics in creating and promoting imperialistic zionism and some rich context about the corrosive actions of AIPAC in the US and the israeli lobby around the world. I do like that he is neither an optimist nor a pessimist but rather hopeful that the destruction we are seeing is the result of tremendous fractures occurring in zionism that could bring much less support for it around the world.

Thanks for all you do!

Thanks, Avigail. I actually listened to the whole thing (almost 3hrs!) while out for a walk in the nearby Lake District on Thursday. I wouldn't normally tune into any one programme for so long, but it was compulsive listening and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to your audience. As you say, the section from Ilan Pappé was particularly good!

The way out is in at EI. They continue to be a voice in the wilderness for the Palestinian perspective, as told by the indigenous people who have-and are currently- living through this macabre death waltz. They are the elders in our circle of understanding and we shall all be the wiser exploring the truths they share. Ali, Nora, Asa, and John are angels among us.✌🏼❤️🙏🕉

I don't watch EI enough, but I caught this episode live and it was really good. I happen to be about 2/3 of the way through Ali Abunimah's "The Battle for Justice in Palestine" and it is really excellent. I have Asa's book "Weaponising Anti-Semitism" but I haven't read it yet.

Hello, I discovered EI when a friend of a friend (the writer Ahmed Masoud) was a guest earlier this year. I now try to watch the livestream most weeks. They continue to inspire and educate me.

Thanks Liz, and I am really glad to hear. Thank you for reading my work too. The more we know, the more confident we can be as activists. Thank you for supporting human rights. In solidarity, Avigail
