If we allow ourselves to integrate the experiences we’re having, how can that change where we think we are in the world?
And how is this political?
In the fourth part of my series on privilege, I take the liberty – and take my time, oh my – to tell you about my own privilege journey.
How the concept of privilege has changed throughout my life, what directions it took, what different regions have to do with it, and how it explains so much of what you’re hearing in all of my podcast episodes.
It explains so much that this episode could have been an introductory episode exactly a year ago when I started this podcast.
Either way, I hope you find it valuable, I hope it changes something in you, and I hope you stick around for more episodes, now that you know where they’re coming from.

A Must-Watch Interview on Palestinian Armed Resistance and Israel’s Iron Dome
This interview is an absolute must: Jeremy Scahill talks to Senator Ro Khanna about the U.S.’s continuous support for Israel and whether Palestinians, too, have the right to armed resistance.

On Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya And The BBC’s Irresistible Desire to Quote Israel
We’ve had enough of the propaganda of the occupier being repeated by the legacy media. And when it still gives airtime to unsubstantiated claims by the Israeli government regarding Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya even as his life is at risk, we should be enraged.
How to Make (No) Sense of The New Lebanese Agreement with Israel
As the Lebanese government signs an agreement with Israel, seemingly disregarding the leverage Iran is currently granting them, what does this all mean? What does it mean for Hezbollah, Lebanese resistance, and the future of the country itself?
On The Targeting of Children And The Yoga to Treat One’s PTSD afterwards (The Zionist Universe)
