Some speakers, like Norman (https://youtu.be/vhFm62msNGc), are
whip-smart and all I can do is ask a question before letting them
take me along for the ride. Others are just as sharp, but the
interview is an entirely different experience. I feel silly being
this dramatic, so forgive me; it just seems that what follows is
the proper extended metaphor to describe our conversation. Rashid
crackles with energy when he talks, just as if he were a fighter.
Even if he’s not using his fists, his cadence is like a boxer’s
and I had to roll with the punches. This was another great one,
and as usual I bear very little responsibility beyond sticking it
out in the ring. I’m going to resist the urge to make any more
boxing comments and instead finish with this: Thanks for
listening.

P.S. In a number of recent episodes I’ve mentioned Maui Nui
Venison, which is a company operating out of Hawaii that manages
the invasive deer population of Maui that is decimating the
landscape. Instead of culling the animals and disposing of their
bodies, the meat is butchered and sold. It is the only meat I
eat, full-stop, and the ethical reasons are sufficient for this,
but it is also the best meat that I have ever eaten. I reached
out to Maui Nui and told them that I support what they are doing
and would like to be of any help that I can. They gave me this
coupon code—ROBINSON—which you can use for 20% off. I am not
being paid for this in any way. I believe in what they are doing
and I want this model to succeed. People are going to be eating
meat for the foreseeable future and I would be happier if it was
not factory-farmed meat. So please check Maui Nui out and give
them a try!

Rashid Khalidi is the Edward Said Professor Emeritus of Modern
Arab Studies at Columbia University. He was editor of the Journal
of Palestine Studies, President of the Middle East Studies
Association, and an advisor to the Palestinian delegation to the
Madrid and Washington Arab-Israeli peace negotiations from
October 1992 until June 1993. In this episode, Rashid and
Robinson discuss the history that culminated in October 7th,
2023, what has happened since then, and what might happen in the
future. More particularly, they talk about Zionism, the Nakba,
how Gaza was created, the war between Israel and Hamas, Egypt’s
role in the crisis, the question of genocide, and the future of
Palestine. Rashid’s most recent book is The Hundred Years’ War on
Palestine (Metropolitan Books, 2021).
