Barrios, Joely; Gilmore, Katherine; Simonds-Malamud, Ben

2017-12-04

Zionist discourse assumes a fear of the indigenous Palestinian population outnumbering the Jewish settler population, and threatening the Jewish nature of the state. The Israeli government sees the reproductive capacity of Palestine's indigenous Arab population as a particularly dangerous threat to its own existence. In order to suppress Palestinian reproduction, the Israeli government creates a hostile environment for families through military occupation, deprivation of resources, and discriminatory policies, making Zionism a serious threat to reproductive justice. Our podcast aims to explore how Israel's Zionist policies colonize the bodies of Palestinians, in addition to their land.
