S1E33 - We Cannot Normalize Genocide

Ayman Makarem
About this episode

It feels like fewer people are talking about Palestine. Has the supression of protests worked? Are people burntout, or have they lost interest? The unfathomable amount of violence cannot normalized. If it is, then its all doomed for sure. In this episode, I of course talk about G*z* as well as the nationalist mob violence against Syrian refugees in Turkey (and briefly in Lebanon). -- -- Want to give me a small tip? --> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tip Jar⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
