Checkpoints, radio shows, and Fairouz
Morning radio shows in Palestine have a talent for making it sound like a free country, all while reporting on which checkpoints are closed and how many people were killed in Gaza today.
- Why the United Arab Emirates is leaving OPEC and what it means for the future of the Middle East
- Understanding the shared ideology behind settler colonialism in Native America and Palestine
It’s interesting how radio can shape perceptions like that. I often find myself thinking about the role of media in creating narratives, especially in places with complex histories.
