#19 - US Elections: Voting for Genocide ...

Lets Talk Palestine
About this episode

With the US elections right around the corner, we take a look at the key implications the result will have on Palestine. From the idea of voting for 'the lesser evil', to the impact on the ongoing genocide in Gaza, as well as the effect on organising for all marginalised communities across the US, we give you a comprehensive background on things to keep in mind if / when voting. Nerdeen Kiswani, an outspoken activist and founder of Within our Lifetime, provides answers to these topics.
