On the latest episode of Myself with Others, the journalist Alain Gresh spoke to me about his youth in Cairo, the impact of decolonization, the ongoing struggle over Palestine, the battles in France over secularism -- and his campaign to shed light on his father's assassination. https://twitter.com/karimbitar/status/1478299228720009223
