In this episode of Decolonial Dispatch, host Mohammed explores the pivotal role of youth in the Palestinian liberation struggle with organisers Janine and Dario from the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM). The conversation traces the historical legacy of youth organising, from the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS) to the post-Oslo landscape, highlighting how the accords served as a form of capitulation that fragmented the movement. The guests discuss their theory of change "from below," detailing the strategic success of the "Mask Off Maersk" campaign in disrupting the logistics of imperialism. They also offer insights on revolutionary optimism, the necessity of organised struggle against austerity and global capitalism, and how the diaspora can create crises for Zionism from within the imperial core.
