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.

ABOUT THE PODCAST

Dive into the dynamic world of radical thought, dissent, and liberation with "THE DUGOUT" where two fierce Black anarchist hosts offer a fresh and unapologetic perspective on local and national news, cultural events, and literature. In each episode, our hosts unveil the transformative power of queer, Black, and radical thinking, challenging conventional narratives and exploring the ever-expanding frontiers of resistance. We navigate the complexities of our modern world, unpacking the latest happenings, while also mining the deeper wellsprings of radical knowledge that the internet and social media have unleashed. Our goal is not only to dissect the pressing issues of today but also to extend the boundaries of the Black anarchist canon, exploring the past, present, and future of Black liberation struggles. "The Dugout" is where the traditional meets the cutting edge, and where audacity reigns supreme. Join us on this journey towards a future that is unapologetically radical and free.
