Episode Description

Our recent Webinar on BDS and the Labour Movement in Canada gave an eye-opening perspective on how labour activists are helping to create greater awareness within the labour movement on Palestinian human rights. After a brief intro, we cut to the Webinar to hear Michael and his two guests, Katherine Nastovski and Hassan Husseini talk about efforts to pass BDS resolutions in different labour organizations. BDS stands for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions strategies to pressure Israel to respect the human rights of Palestinians. There have been successes and challenges, but Michael and his guests are optimistic that with the proper strategy, labour can help lead Canada to a broader adoption of BDS.

The NOI espoused a pro-Arab stance, viewing Jews as the primary oppressors of both Blacks and Arabs. This perspective influenced Malcolm X's early views on the Israel-Palestine conflict, leading him to view Israel as a colonial power unjustly occupying Palestinian land.
