Wing It

Ep 9: Palestine, Colonialism & Beyond


Listen Later

Welcome to another episode of Wing It where Yvonne and Aiysha are digging deep this week into not only the Palestine-Israel war, but the impact of Western imperialism on the world. We reflect on the shocking and inhumane treatment of Western powers towards countries based on the biased attitudes that have shaped the world into what it is today.

Despite our school history lessons being limited to 19th and 20th century Europe, education and awareness are all key to making the smallest changes in our lives that could bring about the biggest differences.

Here are some resources that could help make small steps towards expanding our knowledge and awareness of western atrocities and preventing it from happening again:
