In this episode of The Dugout, we analyze the ongoing conflict in Palestine and the systemic oppression imposed by Israel’s settler colonialism. We delve into the history of Palestinian resistance, the effects of colonialism, and how these struggles mirror the challenges faced by Black communities. Through this exploration, we highlight the deep connections between Black liberation and Palestinian solidarity, emphasizing the need for collective resistance against imperialism and state violence.

We also examine Malcolm X’s letter, Zionist Logic, the tactics used by Israel to maintain control, and the broader implications of settler colonialism. Join us as we unpack the importance of global solidarity and what it means to fight for liberation across borders.
