From Ireland to Palestine – Episode with Professor Avi ShlaimIn this episode, we speak with Professor Avi Shlaim, one of the most influential historians on the Israeli genocide on Palestine. Born in Iraq, Avi moved to Israel as a child, grew up there, and even served in the IDF. Today, he is one of the most prominent critics of Zionism and Israeli policies — a journey that gives him a unique and powerful perspective.
We dive into his personal story, how his views evolved, and why he now speaks out so strongly against occupation and apartheid. Avi shares insights from his acclaimed works, including his new book – Genocide in Gaza: Israel’s Long War on Palestine, and exposes the myths that sustain injustice in Palestine.
A conversation that blends lived experience with historical expertise, challenging dominant narratives and offering a vision for truth and accountability.
