Vietnam has fought and defeated countless Goliaths to achieve its liberation.

While our people in Palestine are still fighting their own Goliath, we wanted to learn, how did the Vietnamese do it? And what happens once this Goliath is taken down? What does a national identity built on liberation and resistance look like when the country’s at peace? And is Vietnam really at peace?

We traveled to Hanoi in the north and Ho Chi Minh City Saigon in the South to explore Vietnam’s story of liberation, and the story it's writing now.

Jessie Gender (4:17:13) Despite understanding some of the hydra heads that form from it - the apparatus, functions, and nature of antisemitism are often less understood on a deeper level because despite its long history and that it frequently intersects with other bigotries, it is not based directly on poverty, skin color or colonized status. It’s also historically quite flexible, constantly evolving to fit the numerous contexts it crops up within. As a result, leftist groups can often miss it when it appears. There is also a question that often goes unaddressed in the binary framework of a propagandizing neo-colonial power that works to perpetuate its power versus those who fight it endlessly. Can antisemitism exist within leftist movements fighting for Palestinian autonomy and self-determination?
