Ireland in 2023 saw a sharp rise in far right organising and agitation. Communities under pressure, facing increased poverty and homelessness, now experiencing an increase in inward migration, are struggling to find solutions.

Two interviews with activists who have spent time in Palestine in recent years, to give some context to anyone who may not understand how and why the recent escalation in violence occurred.
When we look at Israel and Palestine, we can't understand the situation without understanding it as a case of settler-colonialism. Hopefully this episode will make that clear, and you will understand why the struggle in Palestine is vital not just for Palestinians, but for all of us. They fight for their survivial, for their freedom, and for the freedom of the people of the world.
