"You know, me being Israeli, my very, very identity as Israeli, one of the most important components of being Israeli is being an occupier here"

Welcome back!

In this episode we speak with Eitan Bronstein Aparicio, co-creator of Decolonizer (www.de-colonizer.org) and former director of Zochrot (zochrot.org) on the importance of alternative education even when immediate change is not on the horizon, creative in-the-street actions, ideas of Israeli identity, education, Pierre Nora's distinction between history and memory specifically as concerns the Palestinian Nakba and the Golan Heights/Occupied Syria and travel in the Sinai!

Throughout this talk, we looked at this sweet Decolonizer map
