The Romance is Over - Time for the Breakup. RIF Podcast Ep. 17

In this thought-provoking episode of the Resistances Fertile Podcast, we confront the harsh realities behind imperial deceptions and question the trustworthiness of colonial powers. Marking the 77th anniversary of Nakba Day, we discuss various topics including H*m*s's strategy with releasing an American hostage, the complicit role of civilians in historical genocides, and the perils of romanticizing settler colonization. The conversation delves into the importance of rebranding 'settlers' as 'invaders,' analyzing the psychological manipulation behind performative apologies from colonial governments, and the systemic inequalities perpetuated by imperialism. We also explore strategies for breaking the cycles of genocide and restoring dignity through resistance. Join us as we unravel the layers of deceit and advocate for global justice and solidarity.
