We are continuing to play you pieces that appear in Issue Three of The Sunday Paper. This week we are playing the first article, titled ‘Tarakum’.

This piece was written by a Palestinian PhD candidate in political science who, for his safety, has chosen to write under the pseudonym ‘Nabil Mustafa’. 

This piece, about The events of October 7th and Palestinian resistance doctrine, is particularly important to Issue Three. 

The Sunday Paper project was revived specifically to confront the reluctance of progressive publishers on this continent to support or discuss the necessity of armed resistance. 

As it says in the editorial statement. “While outwardly supportive of Palestinian rights, and perhaps even self described as radically anti-colonial, many progressive publishers, platforms and organisations will quietly erase words like ‘martyr’ or ‘intifada’ and will quickly withdraw their support at the mention of armed liberation struggle”. 

If you haven’t already, go back and listen to the full editorial statement in the introductory episode, for a complete explanation of Issue Three’s conceptual basis. 

This piece is read by Jeanine Mohanned. 

The Sunday Paper and Podcast remain not for profit, independent and reader and listener supported. 

This episode was produced on Wurundjeri land. This land was invaded, stolen and remains under occupation. Colonial violence continues as does Indigenous Resistance.

Our theme music was made by DOBBY.

You also heard the track ‘Liberation of Palestine’, performed by Bilal and Khader Al-Ahmad.

The podcast is compiled, mixed and edited by Mell Chun.
