Irene and Elisa do a deep dive into recent news on genocide and settler colonialism with IPG technical producer Raffi Zarzatian. Among other things, they discuss how societies can truly transform themselves in the midst of long-term genocidal institutions, including Germany, Namibia, the United States, Canada, Palestine and Israel.
