#25 - What Does Terrorism Actually Mean? ft. Conor Gearty KC

<p>With the term ‘terrorism’ so frequently invoked in Western media coverage of Palestine, today’s episode of the <em>Let’s Talk Palestine Podcast</em> seeks to unpack and critically examine this loaded label.</p><p>Conor Gearty KC, a professor of human rights law at LSE and a specialist in anti-terrorism legislation, traces the term’s roots to British-colonial Ireland, explores how Israel later adapted and popularized it to justify its oppression of Palestinians, and reflects on how its use exploded globally following 9/11—fueling the U.S.-led ‘War on Terror’ and the illegal invasion of Iraq.</p>
