#18 - What Will Palestinian Liberation Look Like? ft. Dr Ramzy Baroud - The Peace Fallacy Pt. 5
Let's Talk PalestineShow Notes
To close up our series, we bring forth the key principles that define what is actually needed for liberation, not simply 'peace'. We begin the episode by looking at the key historical details that have brought us to where we are today, before delving into the idea of anti-Zionism, as well as the roles that different components within the movement (such as peaceful and armed resistance) have in our shared path forward. In this episode, we have the honour of welcoming Dr Ramzy Baroud, editor of the Palestine Chronicle, who has written extensively on the topic of liberation as opposed to peace, and gives his insights.

When Morocco became a signatory to the Abraham Accords in 2020, thereby recognising the Israeli State, many were left shocked at what appeared to be a sudden Arab betrayal of the Palestinian cause. What many didn't realise, though, was that decades of ties already existed between the two — ties the Accords built on, leading to the sinister mutual recognition of each other's illegally occupied territories: namely Palestine, and the Western Sahara, dubbed Africa's Last Colony. In this episode of the Let's Talk Palestine Podcast, we speak to Mohamadsalem, co-founder of Sahrawi Voice, to explore who the occupied Sahrawis are, what their struggle looks like, and look at how both the Palestinian and Sahrawi struggles are inherently linked, as our occupiers deepen ties.
Nakba survivor and renowned Palestinian author Ghada Karmi joins the Let’s Talk Palestine Podcast to mark 78 years of Nakba. In this episode, Ghada reflects on her lived experience of displacement, sharing memories of life in Palestine before Israel, and the upheaval that followed. She discusses the violence and tactics used by Zionist terrorist groups during the final years of the British Mandate, and explores how the Nakba reshaped Palestinian identity and memory in the 78 years since.
Andrew Feinstein, anti-apartheid activist and facilitator in the negotiations that ended apartheid in South Africa, joins us on this episode of the Let's Talk Palestine Podcast, as we launch our new series Lessons from Liberation — where we place Palestine into the broader context of other national liberation struggles. In this episode, Andrew draws out the parallels between apartheid in both South Africa and Palestine, reflects on the importance of boycotts in bringing down apartheid, as well as exploring the ethical dilemmas of negotiating ones own fundamental human rights and dignity.
Eyal Weizman, director of Forensic Architecture, joins us on this episode of the Let’s Talk Palestine Podcast to discuss FA’s recent investigation alongside Drop Site News into how Israel is converting the Yellow Line into a physical boundary, potentially attempting to annex over 50% of Gaza. In this episode, Eyal discusses the topographical relevance of the Yellow Line, combining historical and geographical evidence to analyze the ways in which Israel is violating ceasefire in Gaza, and how the US Master Plan attempts to retain foreign control over Gaza.
For the final episode of 2025 of the LTP Podcast, we speak with Pastor Munther Isaac of Bethlehem to reflect after another devastating year of genocide. Rather than dwelling solely on despair, Pastor Isaac shares how he draws on his faith to transform the grief, anger, and helplessness felt in the wake of Gaza into something constructive and sustaining. From confronting hatred, to exploring the parallels between the Christmas story and the reality of the Holy Land today, he guides us through how faith can provide us with the courage we need when everything feels bleak.
