Proximities | Kieran Andrieu - How Israel weaponises archaeology in the West Bank

In this week's episode, we talk to British-Palestinian commentator and political economist Kieran Andrieu about the occupied West Bank – and archaeology. With the Israeli government moving ahead with a bill to bring archaeological sites in the West Bank under its control, we discuss how archaeology has been weaponised as a tool of occupation, how it is used to erase the Palestinian people and their history, and how even Israeli archaeologists are trying to resist.
