Episode 16: Palestine (Part 2)
In All of Us Command is a new podcast where we learn about countries and their national anthems. We will be drawing each new country out of a hat and taking turns researching them. We'll continue on through the modern history of Palestine since World War 1 in this episode, and finally get a chance to talk about their anthem, Fida'i.
For episode 16, we keep trying to untangle the history of Palestine, this time focusing on only a century rather than a gigayear. It's still somehow the longer episode, an incredibly tangled mess of contradicting political promises and irresponsible maneuvering. Stick through it to learn about one of the world's oldest living trees and the excellent anthem, Fida'i.
