PODCAST:
Episode 3: The Black Goat Act
with Rabea Eghbariah in collaboration with Columbia University’s Center for Palestine Studies, Lifta Volumes, Lena Mansour and hosted by Cher Asad
![]()
Within this bonus podcast episode, we explore the “Black Goat Act” with Rabea Eghbariah. The Black Goat Act, imposed by the Israeli government in 1950, criminalized the possession and herding of black goats, targeting the most abundant livestock animal in Palestine and centuries-old farming tradition. Enacted by colonial powers and without scientific rationale, we discuss the different ways Israel has used and enforced this legislation throughout history to further its agenda of Palestinian erasure and dispossession.
