What Do We Talk About When We Talk About Palestine? Part 5: Colonialism
What is happening in East Jerusalem?
Or, rather, what has been happening in East Jerusalem?
Depending on your location, political interests, and what media you consume, you might have heard the name of Sheikh Jarrah.
If anything, you might have seen some hashtags at least, like #SaveSheikhJarrah.
Sheikh Jarrah is a neighbourhood of East Jerusalem and what is happening there gives me an (unfortunate) opportunity to further explore my own question:
What do we really talk about when we talk about Palestine?
In light of current events, today's topic simply has to be colonialism.
It's...strange to be using this word to describe something that we're witnessing in the 21st century, I know. Yet, just like with other concepts that have actual definitions, we shouldn't be afraid to use them where these definitions fit.
It's a dense episode. I hope you enjoy it and check my references here: https://wp.me/pc6sQr-iG
