Episode 196 of the Common Weal Policy Podcast

 You can download the episode directly here.

This week, Craig talks to Prof Alison Phipps, Professor of Languages and Intercultural Studies at the University of Glasgow and UNESCO Chair in Refugee Integration through Languages and the Arts, about the devastation of Gaza, the recent ruling by the ICJ that there was a plausible risk of genocide as a result of Israel's actions and on the defunding of UNRWA by many states in the immediate aftermath of that ruling.

If, after listening to this podcast, you wish to donate to aid organisations working in Gaza then please consider UNRWA, MSF, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society or another aid organisation of your choosing.

Common Weal's work is only possible thanks to our generous supporters who regularly donate an average of £10 per month. If you would like to help us build our vision of an All of Us First Scotland, you can do so here: https://commonweal.scot/donate/

The Policy Podcast would like to discuss all of Common Weal's policy papers in detail as well as other major policy stories in and around Scotland so if there are any topics that you would like to see covered or if you have an interesting policy story to tell and would like to be a guest on the show, please contact Craig at craig@common.scot
