Episode description

This ep I'm lucky to be joined by Will Madani, gay Arab Australian lawyer.

Will offers insight into the current situation in Palestine through his studies in international relations, first-hand experience in the West Bank and relatives that have been impacted by the current conflict.

We discuss the impact of Western media's portrayal of the conflict, and how this affects Arab communities in Australia. We also chat about social media implications, including current conversations around whether to 'share' or not, as well as pinkwashing and queer support for Palestinians.

The social media accounts Will refers to throughout are linked below:
