What I’m Watching
As I was scrolling through the Book of Face, I discussed this video with Richard Boyd Barrett where he reminds us that racism is a ‘divide and rule’ tactic.
Uprooting Qahr! weaves between these racial themes specifically those from the African American, Indigenous to Turtle Island, and the Palestinian diasporas.

In this episode of The Big Picture Podcast, host Mohamed Hassan speaks with Richard Boyd Barett, an Irish lawmaker and anti-war activist.
Barett has been an advocate for an end to apartheid in both South Africa and Palestine, often leading rallies and marches across Ireland. In this interview, Barett outlines the parallels between Irelands struggle for freedom from Britain and the cause of the Palestinian people.
He reflects on Ireland’s political position on the Palestinian state, their focus on neutrality, and the country’s role as a global leader.
