Filmmakers and creatives talking about the stories that matter to us – starting with Palestine…We believe in social impact, humanism, and hope.
In Episode 73 of The Enlightenment Podcast, Shamim and Hanan are joined by Professor Ilan Pappé, one of the world’s most important and controversial Israeli historians, whose work has fundamentally reshaped global understanding of the history of Palestine.
Professor Pappé is the author of numerous groundbreaking books, including The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic, and his latest work, Israel on the Brink (2025). He is also the current Chairman of the Nakba Memorial Foundation, continuing his commitment to preserving historical truth and Palestinian memory.
Through meticulous research in Israeli state archives, he has exposed the systematic policies of displacement, dispossession, and narrative control that underpin the creation of Israel—work that has led to fierce backlash, including condemnation by the Israeli parliament.
Now based in the UK, Professor Pappé continues to challenge dominant narratives and speak out on Palestine, despite decades of political pressure, professional attacks, and attempts to silence his scholarship.
