Uncle Robbie Thorpe chats with Palestinian scientist and author, Professor Mazin Qumsiyeh, where they discuss and analyse the correlation of the ongoing colonisation, ecocide and genocide occuring in Palestine and so-called Australia.

Mazin Qumsiyeh (born 1957 in Beit Sahour) is a Palestinian scientist and author, founder and director of the Palestine Museum of Natural History (PMNH) and the Palestine Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability (PIBS) at Bethlehem University where he teaches.

Over the course of his career he has published well over 150 scientific papers on topics ranging from cultural heritage to biodiversity in addition to several books. 

Professor Mazin Qumsiyeh says, “There is both a genocide and an ecocide going on, supported by some Western governments against the will of the Western public.” An enormous global movement is rising to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, to end decades of colonisation, and work toward a free Palestine that delivers sustainable peace for all in the region.
