    Game Design in the Shadow of Genocide | Rasheed Abueideh

    Rasheed Abueideh is a Palestinian game designer from a village near Nablus in the West Bank. He gained international recognition with his game "Liyla and the Shadows of War", which tells the story of a young girl and her father navigating a decimated Gaza during the Israeli aggression of 2014. Despite initial attempts from Apple to censor the game, Rasheed and supporters of his art fought for its inclusion which was eventually successful. In this audio podcast for Palestine Deep Dive, composer and sound designer Sami El-Enany learns about Rasheed’s latest project, "Dreams On A Pillow”, a stealth game set during the ethnic cleansing and violent displacement of Palestinians in the 1948 Nakba. The game follows the story of a Palestinian woman who carries a pillow instead of her child by mistake after fleeing an Israeli massacre. Set in multiple timelines, the game aims to preserve the memory of pre-Zionist Palestine and highlight the trauma endured by Palestinians. Sami El-Enany is a composer and sound designer. Through his practice and research, Sami is delving into the sonics of solidarity, exploring sound as resonance for union. The game has entered the final days of its crowdfunding campaign which can be found at: dreamsonapillow.com __________________________ Please consider supporting Palestine Deep Dive by becoming a monthly subscriber from as little as £1 a month.

    Re-reading Ghassan Kanafani in the Struggle Against Genocide | Hazem Jamjoum

    “Between the Sword and the Neck” Educator and editor Hazem Jamjoum offers a fresh reading of the work of Ghassan Kanafani amid Israel’s ongoing genocide on Palestinians in Gaza. Ghassan Kanafani (1936-1972) is widely known as one of the great Arab novelists of the 20th century. His ability to use simple, almost mundane stories to speak to the human experience of colonialism and freedom in novels like ‘Men in the Sun’ and ‘Returning to Haifa’ continue to teach those who read them. But Kanafani was more than a novelist, he was also a key political thinker, strategist and revolutionary whose analysis of Zionism and imperialism continues to inform and shape anti-colonial thought across the globe today.

    Erasing Palestinian Life in Gaza: Israel’s Genocide EXPOSED | Francesca Albanese & Eyal Weizman

    “Israel aims to cancel and erase Palestinian life!” UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, and director of Forensic Architecture, Eyal Weizman, expose the mechanics of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Speaking to Palestinian journalist from Gaza, Ahmed Alnaouq, Francesca references her new UN report titled “Genocide as Colonial Erasure”, which documents how Israel is wielding its genocide as part of a broader, systematic and intentional state-organised forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians. A new 800 page report published by Forensic Architecture titled “A Spatial Analysis of the Israeli Military’s Conduct in Gaza since October 2023”, uses innovative digital technology to illustrate Israel’s wholesale destruction of the Gaza Strip which has left “no safe place” for Palestinians under siege and bombardment, according director Eyal Weizman. Ahmed Alnaouq is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza co-founder of We Are Not Numbers.
