Episode notes

Turning Tides: Palestine will cover the period from 30,000 B.C.E. to Present, in which Palestine tries to maintain its diversity and cultural heritage, while being ravaged by the effects of colonization, settler-colonialism, and the violent weaponization of religious text to force conversion and assimilation. The fourth episode, Romans, will cover the period from 135 C.E. to 638, in which the Western Empire falls and the Eastern Empire holds, while Christianity becomes the dominant religion in Palestine.
