Lessons on Palestine from Bassel al-Araj

Bassel al-Araj, a Palestinian activist, was known as the engaged intellectual. He dedicated himself to studying Palestinian history, especially that of the Palestinian resistance, sharing detailed experiences of revolutionaries as he set the Resistance as his main focus throughout his life. Bassel led popular field trips titled “Tours in the History of the Resistance” in occupied Palestine. During these tours, he discussed Zionist settlements and their connection to Palestinian resistance. Today, we recall some of those tours in al-Araj’s voice to learn more about the Palestinian struggle for freedom.
