As we approach the 74th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe) in Palestine, Layla Kanaan joins Cat for an in-depth discussion of the history of Zionism, the founding of the settler state of Israel, the ongoing impacts of violence on the Palestinian people, how this struggle is all our struggle, and how we can get involved and act in solidarity for a free Palestine.

We learn, too, about local organizations doing solidarity work, and share details about this weekend’s Nakba Day event on May 15.

*this show also aired on KBOO Portland!
