Join us on Wednesday, 2 November for a conversation between Jadaliyya co-editor Mouin Rabbani and Zachary Foster on The Invention of Palestine. This episode of Connections will examine how and why the terms “Palestine” and “Palestinian” came to be contested, and measure various claims in this regard against the historical record.

Connections offers timely and informative interviews on current events and broader policy questions, as well as themes relevant to knowledge production. It combines journalism, analysis, and scholarship.
