What Do We Talk About When We Talk About Palestine? Part 6: Gaza and The Fake Security vs. Equality Dichotomy

Listen Later

As I'm recording this, Gaza is being bombed by the Israeli forces.

In short, a lot has happened since last week. A lot needs to be unpacked.


In this episode, trying to further answer the question I have asked myself in this series - what do we really talk about when we talk about Palestine? - I talk about the abstract but often used concepts of security and self-defence.

What I do exactly is the following:

  • use the concepts from my previous episodes as prisms to analyse this situation,
  • talk more about the mainstream media narrative and, more importantly, where it starts,
  • explore the concept of security and self-defence by mentioning what the International Humanitarian Law has to say about it,
  • point to potential hypocrisy that might surround any talks about Gaza.


    • Give it a listen. Join the debate. Check my references and more here: https://wp.me/pc6sQr-jo
