Part 1 of Palestine and the World: History in a Time of Genocide (Denial) examines the premodern paradigms of Latin Christendom's relationship to Jews and Muslims, Judaism and Islam, over centuries since the time of the Crusades and the establishment of the Latin Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. Dr. Ariel Salzmann and Adnan discuss a Mediterranean history from the medieval crusades to the "Reconquista" in Iberia into the early modern period and reflect on the transformation in the Latin West from religious difference between Christian and non-Christian as predominant to the elaboration of new ethno-racial forms of exclusion in the shared roots of antisemitism, Islamophobia and other forms of racism.

The following episode of our African Revolutions and Decolonization series is a massive one, two former episodes on Apartheid edited together into a giant conversation.  Information on each of the episodes below: The first is a crossover episode that we had done in collaboration with our sister podcast RevLeft Radio, we brought on Ashley Fataar to provide a primer into Apartheid in the South African context, and where we also began to explore some of the parallels to the apartheid that the settler-colonial state of Israel is enforcing in occupied Palestine today.  Ashley Fataar is a long time socialist activist and writer based in South Africa.  If you would like to get in touch with Ashley, you can reach him via email at ash.fataar@gmail.com.   After that, we have the 2023 Revolutionary Guerrilla Menace get-together, also known as the Rev Left Family Annual Collab (Rev Left+Red Menace+Guerrilla History), where Alyson, Henry, Adnan, and Breht sat down for a deep dive on South African Apartheid. Together they discussed its euro-colonialist origins, explained the significance of the Boer Wars, defined and explicated the origins of apartheid, explored the political economy of apartheid and how brutal racism shaped it, examined the multi-faceted indigenous resistance to apartheid, analyzed the end of formal apartheid as well as its ongoing legacy in post-apartheid South Africa, and tried to extract important lessons from this history to apply to the ongoing struggle in Palestine.   Subscribe to our Substack (free!) to keep up to date with what we are doing.  With so many episodes coming in this series (and beyond), you won't want to miss anything, so get the updates straight to your inbox.  guerrillahistory.substack.com Help support the show by signing up to our patreon, where you also will get bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/guerrillahistory

In this dispatch episode of Guerrilla History, bring on left-wing Amsterdam City Council member Jazie Veldhuyzen to discuss the recent events that took place in Amsterdam surrounding an Ajax-Maccabi Tel Aviv football match, where violent Zionist hooligans went on a rampage through the city, but the media and major Dutch politicians instead characterized the event as a "modern pogrom" until the facts became too clear to ignore.  This is a really important discussion that not only clarifies that specific situation, but also examines how Zionism influences narratives in mainstream discourse, why to remain vigilant in the face of these distortions and lies, and how to build movements in the face of these narratives and distortions.  Recommendations that were mentioned in this episode were the article by Asa Winstanley, our comrade from Electronic Intifada, titled NY Times killed investigation of Israeli hooligans, internal email reveals, as well as discussions on The Majlis around the IHRA "definition" of antisemitism.  Check out The politics of the IHRA definition of Antisemitism and Academic Freedom as well as IHRA, Bill 168 and Academic Research and Teaching.

In this patreon-early access Intelligence Briefing, Adnan and Breht discuss the current moral panic on the political right around issues of masculinity, dropping testosterone levels, and family formation. Together they discuss how the Right obscures the role of under-regulated corporations in poisoning us and the role capitalism plays in destabilizing human life in general, and instead blame scapegoats like life-saving vaccines, innocuous food stuffs like soy, feminism, LGBTQ people, and liberal elites (but never reactionary ones ofc). In addition, they try to think through what masculinity actually is, how it might express itself in healthy ways, what the left can offer young people in general, how reactionary notions of masculinity are rooted in profound fear and insecurity, and how misogynistic figures in the manosphere actually hamstring and poison the minds of young men trying to find a good partner and build a meaningful life.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on a very special guest, Margrit Schiller!  Margrit was associated early on with the Red Army Faction, before being imprisoned and tortured by the West German state, being forced into exile in Cuba and Uruguay, and then having to move back to Germany more or less against her will.  A fascinating life story from someone just as committed to the struggle as ever! Margrit Schiller is author of Remembering the Armed Struggle: My Time with the Red Army Faction.  We highly recommend picking yourself up a copy from PM Press (https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1195).  Margrit's struggles within and against this system continue, and grabbing a copy of her book is a good way to help while we are still forced to operate within capitalism.

An unusual episode, but one that is a lot of fun and quite useful as well!  We have a returning guest, Taylor Genovese (see our episode on the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 to hear his previous appearance), AND a guest interviewer today, Safie Ashirova.  We talked about Alexander Bogdanov's Art and the Working Class, which Taylor has just translated into english for the very first time and has been released today at peacelandbread.com/books.  A major examination on the necessity for proletarian art, and ideas of how to foster it, this is a book that everyone should check out (not least because the pdf version is free)!

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on Rev Left Radio fan favorite Professor Alexander Aviña to talk about Latin America in the Cold War period.  While we in the global north tend to think of the Cold War period as being typified by tensions in Eastern Europe, Latin America was the playground for much of the US's conflicts of the era.   Alexander Aviña is historian at Arizona State University, and is author of the book Specters of Revolution:  Peasant Guerrilla in the Cold War Mexican Countryside (Oxford University Press, 2014, https://alexanderavina.com/specters-of-revolution/ ).  He has also had articles published in places like NACLA Report of the Americas and the Journal of Iberian and Latin America Research, and has made numerous interview appearances, including several episodes of Revolutionary Left Radio.  You can follow him on twitter @Alexander_Avina.   Guerrilla History is the podcast that acts as a reconnaissance report of global proletarian history, and aims to use the lessons of history to analyze the present.  If you have any questions or guest/topic suggestions, email them to us at guerrillahistorypod@gmail.com.
