Danny and Derek welcome back Rashid Khalidi, the Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University, to discuss his book The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917-2017. In this final episode of the series, they discuss the US ramping up aid to Israel in the 1970s, the factors leading to the PLO conducting operations from Lebanon, the 1982 Israeli invasion of the country, the Sabra and Shatila massacre, and more.
Khalidi is my favorite guest you guys have ever had. So good at explaining things in an understandable way. I know this says it’s the final episode in the series, but I’d bring him back as much as possible to discuss stuff if he’s available. Make him the Palestine correspondent.
