Palestine Part 2 – The Nakba to Apartheid | Office Hours

Video Description

In this episode of Office Hours, Dr. Roy Casagranda and Jeremy continue their deep dive into Palestine. After opening with updates on their new podcast and addressing a common audience question about a World War II lecture series, they turn to the history of Palestine — beginning with the Nakba of 1948, the creation of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), and the rise of factions such as Fatah and Hamas. Dr. Roy traces major turning points including the Suez Crisis of 1956, the Six-Day War of 1967, and Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories. He explains how these policies have created conditions of apartheid, systemic inequality, and ongoing conflict in Gaza, the West Bank, and beyond. The lecture also explores the role of international powers, the formation of Hamas, the emergence of Hezbollah, and the broader dynamics shaping the Middle East today. ~~~ 🔉 Dr. Roy Casagranda Podcast 🔉 Podcast Spotify ▶ https://open.spotify.com/show/6aebF9BEErbbiTLEHEyV6z Apple Podcast ▶ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-roy-casagranda-podcast/id1837193563 ~~~ Chapters 00:00:00 Opening & Podcast Updates 00:01:15 Will Roy Ever Finish the WWII Video Series? 00:09:02 Israel Attack on Hamas Negotiators in Qatar 00:17:48 Propaganda & Survival 00:25:28 Palestine Conversation Continues 00:27:05 The Nakba of 1948 00:28:10 Gaza & West Bank After 1948 00:42:20 Palestinian Factions: PLO & Fatah 00:47:55 Suez Canal Nationalization (1956) 00:55:50 The Six-Day War of 1967 01:03:20 Occupation & Apartheid in the Territories 01:24:40 Rise of Hamas 01:28:26 Regional Dynamics & Hezbollah 01:35:20 Closing Reflections: Grace & Tolerance #PalestineHistory #GazaIsStarving #MiddleEastPolitics #HistoryLecture ~~~ © Dr. Roy Casagranda – All Rights Reserved.
