Hello, this week we're doing an episode on the early Irish-Palestine relations. The past two years have been a particularly bleak time in the history of the region but we wanted to take a look at some of the early connections and similarities between Ireland and Mandatory Palestine from the 1920s on and maybe show why so many Irish people strongly identify with the people of Palestinian.
