Recommendations for “Baby’s first video about Palestine”? (hexbear.net)

With the anniversary of Oct 7 coming up, I suspect it will be a topic for some friends of mine. Due to some work I’ve done on them over the past year, I think they might actually be amenable to learning more about Palestine and everything that’s happened in the last 100+ years.

Problem is, these people really have no idea what’s going on or what happened. I don’t know if they could find Palestine on a map. They literally haven’t moved beyond “Jews and Arabs have an ancient grudge and this is just the continuation of that.

What are some basic - and I mean basic videos I could send to them. I think 1948 Creation & Catastrophe is amazing but its scope is a bit narrow. There’s also that many-hour video Hasan did with historian Zach Foster that’s very good but it’s more about debunking hasbara.

follow in my footsteps and listen to Norman Finkelstein's An Issue of Justice which afaik was a talk he gave at Berkeley. available as an audio CD for all these years. back in the day there was some website that was either scraping 4chan hotlinks or it was a dedicated third party host for their boards, idk. i downloaded this off there lol

i wonder how long this will be on youtube 🤔
