At the time of writing, war is spreading throughout West Asia. Of course, this is widely understood as an outgrowth of Israeli expansion and the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. This week’s guest is back on Downstream to provide a century’s worth of historical context to enrich the way in which we think about the ongoing crisis.
Ilan Pappé is a historian and author of the new book ‘A Very Short History of Israel-Palestine Conflict’. He sat down with Aaron to talk about the lack of a viable left in Israel, why nation-states don’t work in the Middle East and what Lawrence of Arabia can teach us about the British Empire.
