Episode description
Palestinians have long foraged for the wild plants za'atar and akkoub, staples of their cuisine. Israel has deemed this practice illegal, and cited environmental concerns. Beneath the science, however, lies a political agenda. In this episode, I explore how these anti-foraging laws came to be, and why they function in the exact same way as many drug laws around the world.
