Today we take a long critical look at the history and role of the Palestinian Authority (PA) as a militarized security agency working in collaboration with Israel to enforce the occupation and colonization of Palestine. Professor Joseph Massad, who has done extensive research on the PA, addresses the issue in an Electronic Intifada Podcast. Massad teaches modern Arab politics and intellectual history at Columbia
University in New York. He is the author of several books, including Desiring Arabs and Islam and Liberalism. We have excerpted this podcast for presentation today.
