S3 Ep 6: Palestine, Israel, Jerusalem, and Peace?

Season 3 · Episode 6

Sunday, March 3, 2024 • Duration 54:08

Sela Nazani (writer on IG @palindromepress) & GP Vahan (artist on IG @gpvahan @mythologyandbeyond) talk about the situation in Israel and Palestine. This is not an easy topic, and we are not here to solve any problems. We only hope that anyone with a conscience can speak up about the atrocities they see and realize that human lives are sacred regardless of religion, race, or ethnicity. Speak up if you notice something that feels wrong, especially if it means speaking up against your own community. Don’t stay silent when you see or hear anything that is antisemitic or anti- Arab/ Muslim/ Middle Eastern. The world will never be a better place if we turn a blind eye to human suffering. Topics covered in this episode include the following: Israel | Palestine | Gaza | Jerusalem | Old City | Armenian Quarter | Yitzhak Rabin | Nakba (Catastrophe) | Dehumanization | Trauma | Message of Peace | Sacred Holy Sites | War | A Better Future | Human Rights | Stopping Messages of Hate | Maps of Palestine and Israel | DNA | Chimps/ Monkeys | Where and What is Heaven? | Dictators | Cats | Human Evolution | Zootopia | Terrible Russian Accents | John Malkovich (Rounders) | Constantine the Frog. What is the way forward for a city that houses three of the world's holiest sites? Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Dome of the Rock. What is the world's responsibility in ensuring peace in the Middle East? Thanks for listening! —————————- We've avoided using Spotify advertising so far.
