Special guest Erik Al-Hussaina joins Afroze to talk about the bleak origins of zionism. Dating back to 1799 to when the idea was first described, to the Balfour Declaration lobbied by Britain to the League of Nations, Erik and Afroze reveal the troubling intentions of establishing an ethno-state. While many argue that to be anti-zionist is to be anti-semitic, Erik and Afroze delv deep into this misleading logic; in fact- by providing historical context Erik and Afroze make the case of how Zionism is anti-semitic itself. From dismantling the "Human Shields" argument to drawing the distinction between self-determination and zionism, Think Like a Lady Podcast has decided to make an avid effort to join the Pro-Palestinian cause in debunking dangerous rhetoric that ultimately serves to fuel the violence against Palestinians, the Occupation and the Israeli Apartheid regime.
