We also talk about a recent events in occupied Palestine, the fight to #SaveSheikhJarrah, and a number of the myths that get deployed by zionists in support of the state of Israel’s policies of apartheid and ethnic cleansing.

We also talk about what decolonization means for them in relation to Palestine and why the latest ceasefire represents a significant step forward in the Palestinian struggle for liberation in their estimation.
