Episode 254 – Terms of Servitude

Roqayah is off this week, so Kumars is joined from the top of the show by returning guest-host Nora Barrows-Friedman and first-time guest Omar Zahzah to discuss Omar's new book, Terms of Servitude: Zionism, Silicon Valley, and Digital Settler Colonialism in the Palestinian Liberation Struggle, out now from the Censored Press and Seven Stories Press.

Omar is a writer, poet, organizer, and Assistant Professor of Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Studies at San Francisco State University. He has organized with Palestinian Youth Movement and the US Campaign for the Cultural and Academic Boycott of Israel, among other groups, and his journalism has appeared in the Electronic Intifada, Mondoweiss, Palestine in America, and other outlets.

Nora is associate editor at the Electronic Intifada, author of In Our Power: US Students Organize for Justice in Palestine and cohost of the Electronic Intifada daily news roundup livestream on YouTube.

Omar, Nora, and Kumars discuss their experiences with union organizing and BDS, why academics should be freelance journalists, how Silicon Valley's digital repression has escalated since Oct. 7, how Palestinian content creators are successfully navigating it, the end of Israel's self-styled image as the "start-up nation," and what Palestine reveals about the tech industry's relationship to our world.

Follow Omar on Twitter @dromarzahzah, Nora @norabf and don't forget to pick up a print or digital copy of Terms of Servitude from Seven Stories Press!
