Masood Khan joins The FloodGate for a timely discussion on the shared colonial histories and liberation struggles of Kashmir and Palestine.
In a new episode of The FloodGate podcast, Ramzy Baroud and Abdulla Moaswes speak with Masood Khan, former President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan’s former ambassador to the US, China, and the UN.
The conversation focuses on the shared colonial histories and ongoing struggles for self-determination in Palestine and Kashmir.
Khan reflects on the growing ties between India and Israel, the impact of occupation on both peoples, and the need for global solidarity rooted in anti-colonial principles.
The episode draws connections between the two regions, situating them within broader frameworks of settler colonialism and resistance.
(The Palestine Chroncile)
You cannot compare Kashmir to Palestine. Palestinians are occupied by Europeans since 1948. The European agenda is to remove Palestinians to various Arab countries and have a greater Israel.
Kashmir on the other hand is part of the India before partition. There are no Europeans in Kashmir imposing two separate laws. Kashmiris have farms, Go to Schools and put food on the table for their families. Pakistanis Indians and Kashmiris are all lived in this area for thousands oy years. It is naive to compare Kashmiris to Palestinians.
