Episode 13: "What is a Palestinian" with Guy Goldstein

Most discussions about Palestinian identity overlook how fluid, layered, and often contradictory it truly is. In this eye-opening episode, Guy Goldstein joins us to unravel the complex evolution of Palestinian consciousness—from Ottoman times to modern geopolitics—and reveals why much of what is considered 'Palestinian' is actually a product of political convenience and evolving narratives. You’ll discover how Palestinian identity has historically been rooted in local village ties, Arab ethnicity, and Muslim faith—yet largely devoid of a cohesive national vision. Guy breaks down how external influences, from British mandates to Arab and Muslim imperial legacies, have shaped—and often distorted—what it means to be Palestinian.
