About this podcast
MEMORY FOR DENIAL (after Mahmoud Darwish's "Memory for Forgetfulness")
The idea of this podcast is to create a collective space of resistance and gather together different voices - artists, poets, novelists, thinkers, musicians, filmmakers, activists - bearing witness to the ongoing Palestinian genocide which is routinely denied by Western states and their media, in some cases to the point of censoring any attempt to speak about it.
The war crimes and other atrocities being perpetrated by Israel in its project of colonialist occupation, land expropriation and ethnic cleansing cannot be allowed to be forgotten, least of all by those who continue to live in denial of what is happening.
Our unconditional support, solidarity, love and rage for Palestine,
