What are the politics of Palestine, who can take over a Palestinian state when it is conceived?

Aboud Hamayel, also known under his pen name Abdaljawad Omar is a writer and theorist and a Lecturer of Philosophy at Bir Zeit University on the Occupied West Bank. Abdaljawad gives us a detailed outline of the history of different political currents in Palestine. Interestingly, he does not give as much credence to the idea of an Islamist-secular split as other scholars of this field.

This episode was recorded, as usual, in Sirdab Studio in Ramallah in the summer of 2024.
