The Pomegranate & The Orange: Genocide Against the Armenians and Palestinians (Keith David Watenpaugh)

For this episode, our team interviewed Keith David Watenpaugh, Professor & Director of Human Rights Studies at UC Davis, about the parallels between the Armenian Genocide (Medz Yeghern) and the ongoing genocide against the Palestinians (al-Nakba). We discuss the importance of his regional, comparative approach to the study of genocide and why survivors and their descendants have a special role in calling out genocide when they see it. You can read his full piece on the JGR website here [https://doi.org/10.1080/14623528.2026.2631361]. Books recommended by Prof. Watenpaugh * Justice For Some: Law and the Question of Palestine (by Noura Erakat) * Remnants: Embodied Archives of the Armenian Genocide (by Elyse Semerdjian)
