  • Palestine and the World: Emancipation and the Minority Question, 1789-1923
    May 31 2025

    **Producer's note: This is the second episode of "Palestine and the World: History in a Time of Genocide (Denial)," a 7-part series Adnan recorded for his podcast, The Adnan Husain Show with his colleague Dr. Ariel Salzmann. All 7 parts are available right to patrons of his show and will be released individually on the free feed over the next 5 weeks. Subscribe to his show on your podcast app or watch the episode on YouTube channel linked below**

    Part 2 of Palestine and the World: History in a Time of Genocide (Denial). In this episode Dr. Ariel Salzmann takes a global perspective on the failures of emancipation and liberation in the "long 19th century" from the promise of universal rights in the republican revolution in France and its continual subversion and violent suppression of resistance. The promise of emancipation from slavery, colonization, class oppression, patriarchy, minorities under nationalism, and antisemitism in Europe was systematically derailed. This process historically and its contradictions had important consequences on the shape of resistance globally and on Jewish nationalism. "The Minority Question" in the older empires, especially in the Ottoman Empire, becomes the frame for Dr. Salzmann's analysis of the fateful consequences for the Middle East.

  • The humble olive w/ Robert Massoud
    May 25 2025

    Robert Massoud is the founder of Zatoun, which bottles and distributes olive oil from Palestine to North America. He also ran Beit Zatoun House, a cultural centre and meeting place in downtown Toronto for many years.

    Zatoun is a grassroots, volunteer-powered initiative launched in 2004. As North America's longest-standing source for fair trade Palestinian olive oil, Zatoun uses this essential staple as a symbol of solidarity, resilience, and cultural connection. The organization not only helps Palestinian farmers earn a livelihood under challenging conditions, but also sparks meaningful dialogue across continents. Zatoun is behind impactful projects like Trees for Palestine, which plants 10,000s olive trees each year in Palestine, and Project Hope, offering creative arts therapy to children in refugee camps. Since its inception, Zatoun has invested close to $600,000 into these efforts, blending advocacy with practical support for communities living under occupation.

    Check out this 4-part radio documentary.

    The Beit Zatoun legacy site offers event archives using the Wayback Machine and media articles.
