My Palestinian birthright w/Rami Yahia. Psychlib ep. 12

Unbreakable: The Palestinian Struggle for Self-Determination and Hope

Welcome to another episode of the PsychLib podcast! In this episode, we host Rami Yahia, a Palestinian living in Montreal, Canada. Rami is a co-host of 'Reason2Resist' with Dimitri Lascaris. We dive deep into the psychological impact of being Palestinian in a settler colony, exploring themes of displacement, cultural identity, and resistance. The discussion spans from Rami's personal family history, including his grandfather's forced exile from Palestine, to broader geopolitical issues involving Israel, Zionism, and the role of Western imperialism. We emphasize the unbreakable spirit of the Palestinian people and the importance of international solidarity. Finally, we explore actionable ways to support Gaza and affirm that self-determination and liberation will ultimately prevail.
