Palestinian doctor, scholar and research fellow Ghada Karmi offers powerful, truthful and hard-hitting words on Palestine's past, present and future. She sheds light on a common experience amongst Palestinian diaspora: that of blocked memories, suppressed as a result of trauma. She shares wise words of advice on dealing with friends and family who โ especially in the wake of October 7th โ have stayed apathetic and silent, or refused to take a moral stance.
We talk in depth about the cognitive dissonance and lack of popular memory of the Nakba or the Palestinian lived experience as compared to that of the Holocaust. Dr Karmi emphasizes her belief in the power of words, stories and personal memories in not only eternalizing the Palestinian cause, but in infusing it into popular discourse. We hear her extraordinary story of being invited to her family home in Jerusalem by the New York Times bureau chief to face its then current inhabitants, and the visions she has for a future Palestine.
This episode of This Is Not a Watermelon podcast was recorded on the 25th July 2024.
Ghada Karmi is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter. She was born in Jerusalem and forced to leave her home during the Nakba of 1948. Her family moved to England where she later practiced as a doctor working as a specialist in the health of migrants and refugees. She later held a number of research positions on Middle Eastern politics and culture at London's SOAS and the Universities of Durham and Leeds. She is also the author of the books: "In Search of Fatima," "Return: A Palestinian Memoir," "One State: The Only Democratic Future for Palestine-Israel," and "Married to Another Man".

In this episode of This Is Not a Watermelon, we talk about positioning Palestinian music within a global music scene, cassettes as precious as diamonds, music and resistance, and reiterations of traditional folk music. Global scholar of Palestinian music, activist, and musician Louis Brehony joins us with a roster of musical interludes that take us on a tour of the Palestinian music that should appear on all those "Top 10" rankings we read online.
With each musical interlude, we reflect on whether resistance music is or should be a genre in itself โ and if it's even possible to untangle Palestinian music from voices of resistance. Louis shares the struggles to get funding for research related to the "P" word. He highlights the unique characteristics of Palestinian music because of how removed from commercialism it is, and Fairuz as an icon relating to the Palestinian question. Finally, he rebuts the common misconception that all Palestinian music must be sad.
This episode of the This is Not a Watermelon podcast takes the same format as one of our QuarterTones episodes, with musical interludes to accompany the conversation. It was recorded on July 15th 2pm Palestine time.
Louis Brehony is an activist, musician, researcher and educator, and a preeminent global scholar of Palestinian music. He is the director of the award-winning documentary film Kofia: A Revolution Through Music (2021) and has published widely on Palestine and political culture in the Palestine Chronicle, Middle East Monitor,Arab Media and Society, and a range of other journals. He received his PhD from Kings College London and a master's in composition from the University of Salford, and performs internationally as a multi-instrumentalist. He has family origins in Ireland and lives in Manchester, UK.

Louis' Book "Palestinian Music in Exile: Voices of Resistance
Palestinian Music in Exile" is a historical and contemporary study of Palestinian musicianship in exile in the Middle East, spanning half a century in disparate locations, including Gaza, Turkey, Kuwait, and Egypt. Grassroots musicians emerge here as powerful actors, their stories taking center stage, offering critiques of existing conditions, and new perspectives on displacement and the transmission of Palestinian narratives, presenting alternative visions for the future.

She vividly reconstructs the vanished social world of these protagonists, tracing the connections between the specificity of individual lives and the larger contexts in which they are embedded. In exploring this ecumenical friendship and its artistic, literary, and intellectual legacies, Sonja demonstrates how social biography can provide a picture of the past that is at once more inclusive and more personal.

Starting with the Qattan Foundation's recent exhibition "Gaza: A Moment of Becoming", Yazid explains why this is not an ordinary exhibition, reflecting on the particular importance of Palestinian art and artists today, especially post October 7. He discusses the history of Palestinian art and whether or not October 7 has ushered in a new form of expression, whether it's worth historizing Palestinian art and seeking to conceptualize it in a different way. Finally, he shares insight on international solidarity with Palestine in the art world, the politics of conditional funding and grants, and knowledge production through curation.
This episode was recorded on March 19th 2024 at 10am Palestine time.
Yazid Anani is the director of the public program at the A. M. Qattan Foundation in Ramallah. He was a professor at the Department of Architecture and the Master Program in Urban Planning and Landscape, at Birzeit University, Palestine (2007-2016). He has lectured and published internationally on architecture, art and urban transformations, colonial spaces and power relations, public art and public spaces, and art education.

Palestinian history and culture will not be erased. History warns us how media's dehumanizing rhetoric can pave the way for targeted aggression and allow society to permit atrocities as grave as genocide. It is resolutely within our mission to counteract this dehumanizing narrative. Afikra has always stood in unwavering solidarity with our Palestinian sisters & brothers and individuals of all nationalities and faiths around the world who bravely protest the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine and condemn the state violence of the Israeli colonial settler project.
After the events of October 7, 2023 it felt impossible to go on with the podcast like business as usual. So we dedicated The afikra Podcast programming to special episodes relevant to understanding the historical context to what is happening in Palestine. Each episode was recorded in real-time and uploaded to YouTube and everywhere you get your podcasts. For most of these, the time of recording is key to understanding the context in which these conversations took place so make sure to refer to these and to check out all of these highly informative conversations with guests who are from completely different disciplines and have generously shared their time and insight in these dark times.
And as we entered the new year and the atrocities continue, we deemed it necessary to create an exclusive series dedicated to Palestinian history and culture. This is how this podcast came about and will continue to exist so long as the fight for liberation and peace continues.Explore all episodes in this series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfYG40bwRKl40ZRFvo_VVYg6i56flEjSK&si=hSVcqPQlXdqq3sgT

Visualizing Palestine is a data-visualization platform that produces factual infographics and visuals to build a rights-based narrative of Palestine and the Israeli occupation. In this conversation, we explore the different pillars of Visualizing Palestine's work and process and how the project came into being. Through the work, we consider the structural inequality, apartheid and occupation that form the Palestinian reality today.
Visualizing Palestine (VP) was established in 2012, and is dedicated to using data and research to visually communicate Palestinian experiences to provoke narrative change. VP envisions a liberated future for Palestinians in a world free from oppression.
Visualizing Palestineโs theory of change is centered on narrative change, with a belief that dominant narratives serve to obscure, justify, and perpetuate oppressive power structures in society. Visualizing Palestine is dedicated to creating narrative interventions that shift these power dynamics, making Palestinian narratives more visible, widely accessible, and powerful as part of wider anti-colonial and anti-racist narratives.

Finally, he explains what he feels make art convincing and why patience is so important.

Taking his film "Spaces of Exception" as a starting point, we talk about reservations and refugee camps as uniquely dual spaces that are all at once akin to prisons, yet a territory where it is possible to practice native sovereignty. He points to the very power of Indigineity in calling nationhood into question, the potent transnational solidarity that exists between Native Americans and Palestinians, and why it is possible to be a settler coloniser without a sponsor state.
Malek Rasamny is a documentary filmmaker, researcher and writer. He was also one of the first afikra presenters when we first launched. He is the co-founder โ along with Matt Peterson โ of "The Native and the Refugee" which is a multi-media research project that compares and contrasts the societies and struggles of both Native American reservations and Palestinian refugee camps in the Middle East. Much of their work and research culminated in their feature film "Spaces of Exception" which was shot between 2014 and 2017 in Arizona, New York, South Dakota, Lebanon and the West Bank.

"This is not a watermelon" is a podcast about Palestinian history and culture. In this episode, we sat down with Andy Clarno, author of "Neoliberal Apartheid: Palestine/Israel and South Africa after 1994" to understand more about transnational solidarity particularly between South Africa and Palestine. He helped us define apartheid and neoliberalism, sharing what he considers to be a useful working definition of the terms, unpacking their origins, and explaining what systems and realities they actually refer to. We discussed what it takes to dismantle such systems and how essential the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction movement is.
Andy sheds light on the decades-strong transnational solidarity between South Africa and Palestine, walks through the steps it took to achieve liberation in South Africa, and considers whether the post-apartheid South African model is what Palestine should be aspiring to. Finally, Andy explains the concepts of racial capitalism and the relationship between neoliberalism and new forms of apartheid.
This episode was recorded on December 21st 2023 at 6pm Palestine Time.
Andy Clarno is an associate professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is the coordinator of the Policing in Chicago Research Group and specialises in Sociology and Black Studies. His research interests include racism, capitalism, colonialism, empire, policing and comparative racial formation. He is the author of Neoliberal Apartheid.
About "Neoliberal Apartheid":
This book traces the shifting dynamics of racial capitalism and settler colonialism in South Africa and Palestine/Israel after 1994. The book addresses the limitations of liberation in South Africa, highlights the impact of neoliberal restructuring in Palestine/Israel, and argues that a new form of โneoliberal apartheidโ has emerged in both regions.

This episode was recorded on Friday, November 24 at 5pm Palestine Time. Please note that we're recording special podcast episodes relevant to understanding the historical context of what is happening in Palestine. Make sure to check out the other highly informative conversations with guests from completely different disciplines who are generously sharing their time and insight in these dark times.
Maha Nassar is an Associate Professor of Modern Middle East History and Islamic Studies at the University of Arizona. Specifically, she is a cultural and intellectual historian of the 20th century Arab world with a focus on Palestinian history. Nassar's research looks at the intellectual constructs of social, political and cultural identities to trace the circulation of political vocabularies that construct as well as contest nationalist narratives.
Nassar's book "Brothers Apart: Palestinian Citizens of Israel and the Arab World" examines how Palestinian cultural producers in Israel during the 1950s and 60s positioned themselves within an Arab and "Third World", social, cultural and intellectual milieu that extended far beyond the confines of the Israeli nation state. By mapping the strategies they deployed, her book demonstrates the importance of Arabic newspapers and literary journals in traversing national boundaries and in creating transnational and transregional communities of solidarity. In 2018 Brothers Apart received a Palestine Book Award for academic titles.

She talks about how she positions Farha as a meaningful contribution to a wider conversation that uses art and film as a means to preserve this history for generations to come.
Finally, Darin speaks to the fear and initial reluctance she faced from the film industry as well as the challenges she overcame to secure funding that respected the integrity of the story she was trying to make.

Steve lays out the state of the healthcare system in Gaza pre- and post-October 7 and how the absolute destruction taking place is impacting their ability to support Gazaโs children and vulnerable patients. He conveys the reality of what โoperationalโ means for hospitals doing their best to support the community in Gaza right now, as well as the risks posed by the spread of disease now and in the imminent future.
Finally, he explains why he believes thereโs no sufficient psychological treatment or support for the trauma that Palestinian children are facing because the real source of the trauma is the continued occupation and state violence that they are enduring.
