Show Notes
Renowned scholar Walid Khalidi, known as the father of Palestinian studies, passed away at 100. Born in Jerusalem, he blended historical knowledge with diplomacy, co-founding the Institute for Palestine Studies in 1963. Khalidi challenged Israels founding myths, exposing plans for expulsions and advocating for a sovereign yet demilitarized Palestinian state. Despite criticism, he remained independent, stressing direct Palestinian-Israeli talks as the only path forward.
