"The settlers and the land will never be one" w/ Good Shepherd Collective
A conversation with GSC founders Bana Abu Zuluf and Cody O'Rourke. Watch the video edition on The East is a Podcast YouTube channel "The Good Shepherd Collective was formed in Palestine in 2017 in response to the restrictive NGO system and its inability to meet the needs of the moment. GSC understands oppression as rooted in the systems and laws guiding civil formation and order. As such, we are an anti-zionist, anti-colonial, and, by definition, anti-capitalist organization. We advocate for justice through a process of decolonization that ushers in a future where the material resources and political process are decoupled from capitalist systems of control and returned to the indigenous peoples.
