Who Run the World
Palestinian History Crash Course (w/ Tamara Reem)
What do we know about the history of Zionism, colonialism, and occupation in Palestine? More importantly, what do we not know? To mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, Marilyn and Rhea invite Palestinian-American professor, lawyer, and writer Tamara Reem to provide listeners with an overview of significant events in Palestinian history and how they inform our understanding of the past few weeks. Tamara also uses her expertise in international law to answer two very divisive yet important questions:
Can Israel claim its response to the October 7th attacks as “self-defense?”
Should Israel’s destructive response be qualified as a genocide?
Tamara Reem is a Palestinian-American international lawyer, professor, and writer. She is the co-founder of Diaspora Heartbeat, an online platform dedicated to crafting a space where Palestinian stories flourish, uniting creativity, community and collaboration.
