21 Voices from Israel & South Africa: Why the Palestine Struggle Matters

In this episode on Speaking Out of Place podcast Professor David Palumbo-Liutalks with Marthie Momberg, whose book 21 Voices from Israel and South Africa: Why the Palestinian Struggle Matters, compiles interviews Momberg conducted over many years. Her interviewees are Israelis and South Africans who have followed different paths to become activists for Palestine. Momberg herself is a South African Jew, who slowly began to see the connections between South African apartheid and Israel’s own form of apartheid. The 21 voices speak about this connection, but about many other things as well, including gender, generational difference, race, human rights, and Zionism. Taped in December during Israel’s genocidal attacks on Gaza, which have brought millions onto the streets in protest across the globe, Marthie’s book serves as a vibrant reminder of the spirit of solidarity. www.palumbo-liu.comhttps://speakingoutofplace.comBluesky @palumboliu.bsky.socialwww.instagram.com/speaking_out_of_place
