Incredibly well done!
This podcast is a superbly researched history that expertly interweaves many layers of complexity together to provide a deep and very human accounting of Ottoman-era Palestine. Bassam’s conversational cadence and engaging storytelling captured and maintained my attention for hours. Listening to PreOccupation Pod has given me a concrete foundation for understanding Palestine’s history and cultures and a desire to want to absorb even more. Bassam, thank you for creating this masterpiece and sharing it with the world! I hope you continue and I look forward to listening to the new episodes that just dropped.

Whenever conversation arises about Palestine (and, by extension, Israel) I’m always struck and profoundly embarrassed by my ignorance on the subject. This podcast has deepened and broadened my understanding of the subject, giving objective historical context that is both clear and interesting!

This is a great podcast that follows a variety of events while condensing them into comprehensive, interrelated stories. 100% would recommend for anyone looking to understand Palestine for more than just its modern depiction.

Often history of the Palestinians touches on the Bibilacal-Old Testament era and more recent history in the 1900’s forward. I want to know more about the huge gap in between.
