On this episode of the Anti-Imperialist Scholars Collective podcast, AISC members Alex Aviña, Bikrum Gill, and Jemima Pierre discuss and historicize the current imperialist occupation of Haiti. They consider the ramifications of the US-led occupation for the broader Caribbean region and specifically, for the US's military buildup and hybrid war against Venezuela. They also respond to the "peace plan" presented by the US imperialists and their regional collaborators to the Palestinian resistance
