Customer Reviews
A Rich History of Palestine
Thank you for all your incredible work in putting together this podcast. I am loving learning about Palestinian history, and I appreciate you taking the time to discuss the importance of “story” and other concepts that are important to consider when thinking about what defines Palestine and Palestinians.
My question when first coming to this podcast was to find out if the Israeli-Arab conflict really was a conflict spanning centuries or even millennia. I think that is what many people think, which allows us to throw our hands up in the air and say it’s unsolvable. It is interesting to learn about the religious tolerance that appears to have been more common in this area.
I hope you continue the good work you are doing. Thanks again! You’re an amazing storyteller and historian.
Want to know more.
Often history of the Palestinians touches on the Bibilacal-Old Testament era and more recent history in the 1900’s forward. I want to know more about the huge gap in between.
Nuanced and very informative!
Just found this podcast and it has been such a welcome breath of fresh air. Really loving getting to know Palestinian heritage and history much better. Muchas gracias!
