This week we’re speaking with Rashid Khalidi, who is Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University, and author, among other books of the fantastic book, The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: Settler-Colonialism and Resistance, 1917-2017.

This week on Talk World Radio we’re discussing Palestine, Israel, and what one is and is not allowed to say out loud.

On episode 40 of the World BEYOND War podcast, I talked to Bob about his new book “Settler-Colonialism in Palestine and Kashmir” and the need to call attention to the victims of settler-colonialism in the world today.
