Moving Beyond Hasbara - The Complexity of Telling the Palestinian Story w/ Bassam of PreOccupation Pod

Guerrilla Radio

It’s one thing to tell a story, it’s another to do it in a way that does justice to the topic. In much of the discussion of Palestine, the focus lies squarely on Palestinians largely in relation to their interactions to the Zionist project. But there it more to dive into, and more to discuss beyond simple counter-hasbara.

Partisan Brigade member James is joined by Bassam, the brains behind the podcast PreOccupation: A Not-So-Brief History of Palestine to talk about his work and the critical importance of how we frame and discuss Palestinian history, and how doing so effectively can be an effective means of inoculating people against hasbara before we even have to get to the point of refuting it.
