Dig: Thawra Ep. 15 - Black September

Featuring Abdel Razzaq Takriti, this is the FIFTEENTH episode of Thawra (Revolution), our series on Arab radicalism in the 20th century. Today’s installment addresses the Palestinian Revolution’s project in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan—leading up to the 1970 conflict with the Jordanian state and the violent expulsion of PLO guerrillas during Black September. Then, Egypt and Syria checked Israel’s power in the October War of 1973—only for Anwar Sadat to lead Egypt into Kissinger’s plan to pacify Arab revolution. Support The Dig at Patreon.com/TheDigCheck out our newsletter and vast archives at thedigradio.comSpread the word about Thawra thedigradio.com/ThawraThe Palestinian Revolution website is live! learnpalestine.qeh.ox.ac.uk/teachBuy tickets for live Dig with Corbyn in London https://unionchapel.org.uk/venue/whats-on/versothe-dig-live-podcast-with-jeremy-corbyn-laleh-khaliliThe Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago from Aug 30 - Sept 2.
