The colonial violence of Zionism entails erasing Palestinian communities and narratives. If we are to understand this genocidal structure (and ideology), we have to listen to the voices of those who it victimizes and oppresses. This history is still playing out today, and still widely misunderstood. I think it needs to be more thoroughly discussed, because of, and not despite, the urgency of the current situation. With clips of videos from Mahmoud Darwish, Bisan Owda, Edward Said, Refaat al-Areer, Toni Morrison, and more.
