With the US elections right around the corner, we take a look at the key implications the result will have on Palestine. From the idea of voting for 'the lesser evil', to the impact on the ongoing genocide in Gaza, as well as the effect on organising for all marginalised communities across the US, we give you a comprehensive background on things to keep in mind if / when voting. Nerdeen Kiswani, an outspoken activist and founder of Within our Lifetime, provides answers to these topics.

To close up our series, we bring forth the key principles that define what is actually needed for liberation, not simply 'peace'. We begin the episode by looking at the key historical details that have brought us to where we are today, before delving into the idea of anti-Zionism, as well as the roles that different components within the movement (such as peaceful and armed resistance) have in our shared path forward. In this episode, we have the honour of welcoming Dr Ramzy Baroud, editor of the Palestine Chronicle, who has written extensively on the topic of liberation as opposed to peace, and gives his insights.

Palestinians who were able to remain in their historical homeland during the Nakba of 1948 represent a small but significant proportion of the Israeli population today. In this episode, we speak with Rami Younis, a Palestinian journalist and TV presenter, and ask a range of questions revolving around life growing up in a society built on the ruins of your own people, as well as the dramatic overtly genocidal shift since October 7th 2023.

Something that often confuses Western audiences about the Palestinian struggle is how some Arab states, who would be expected to support the Palestinians, in actual fact have deep relations with the Israeli state. This, among other issues such as a potential future Israeli-Saudi normalisation deal are the topic of Part 3: Arab Normalisation. In this episode, we bring you the insights of Dr. Imad Harb, director of research and analysis at the Arab Institute in Washington DC.

We are often adamantly told by politicians that the Two State Solution is 'the only solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict'. In this episode, we visualise what they mean when they say this, going through each of the key features of what the Two State Solution really means. Very quickly, we see that the proposal is not only logistically impossible to implement, but also a solution based off a mistaken view of what the Palestinian struggle really represents. The Two State Solution will never be a solution.

The one time Palestinians and Israelis were apparently close to peace was in 1993 at the signing of the Oslo Accords. 30 years on, peace has never looked as unlikely as it does now, which begs the question, what was in these 'peace' agreements and can they really have been as comprehensive as they are often nowadays made out to be? In this episode, we take a look at the context and the specifics of the Oslo Accords themselves, painting a picture to show that their downfall was not only expected, but inevitable.

June was the 9th month of the Israeli onslaught of Gaza, in this episode we briefly summarise the key events. Most notable is the new status quo emerging in Gaza, a status quo intended to exhaust its inhabitants and to cause maximum destruction to civilian infrastructure. Additionally, we saw tensions flare up along the Lebanese border, with all-out war looking increasingly likely unless a ceasefire is reached in the meantime, another topic of discussion in this episode.

Director of the documentary The Truth: Lost at Sea, and survivor of the Freedom Flotilla massacre, Rifat Odeh, takes us through his experience on the boat that attempted to break the siege and deliver much needed humanitarian aid to Gaza. We begin by asking the question why a humanitarian mission was necessary, before developing into the dark scenes that the Israeli military unfolded on the aid workers, as well as diving into the propaganda machine that attempted to save Israel's image. This comes during a crucial time where a new flotilla looks to leave for the same mission to Gaza in 2024.

On Orthodox Easter, we take a look at this small but significant part of the Palestinian population. From how external forces have shaped the proportion of religious diversity in the holy land, to the role that Christians play in the fight for liberation, we take you on a quick, but thorough deep dive into who Palestinian Christians really are.

As the international escalation between Iran and Israel begins to die down again for now, in this episode we shift our attention back to the reality on the ground in Gaza from the last week. In this time, we saw the uncovering of mass graves containing over 300 bodies, many of which with evidence of serious human rights abuses such as torture and mutilation. We also shortly turn our attention to the growing demonstrations on US college campuses demanding divestment from companies profiting off the genocide in Gaza.
-
The recent tit-for-tat missile attacks by Israel and Iran have led to the fear that a regional war may very well prevail soon. In this episode, we go through who the two sides are, what the possibility of war actually is, and what the effect thereof on Gaza but also more generally Palestine would be.

For two weeks the world watched anxiously to see how Iran would respond to the attack on their consulate in Damascus, Syria, at the hands of the State of Israel. On the night of the 13th of April, we got our answer. Hundreds of drones and missiles were fired at Israel from Iranian territory for the first time ever. But how did we get into this situation in the first place? In this episode, we break down the context and the Iranian operation itself, in what certainly will not be the end of hostilities between the two powers.
-
Murdering foreign aid workers and bombing an Iranian diplomatic facility are only two of many despicable acts that Israel undertook this week to mark exactly six months of their ongoing genocide in Gaza. In this episode we take you through these stories, among others such as the significant use of AI in this genocide, the attempt to censor Al-Jazeera within the occupied territories, but also the increasing pressure at the ICJ on countries that are complicit in the genocide such as Germany.
-
Even during Ramadan and Easter, Israel persisted in its genocide in Gaza and wider war against Palestinians across their occupied homeland. But we did see international developments with a ceasefire resolution passing in the UN Security Council, as well as additional measures made by the ICJ in an attempt to force Israel to comply with international law. Join us for this short episode where we take a look at this and more!
-
With the genocide of Gaza continuing into almost half a year, it still often feels like we haven't reached the peak of the violence. In this episode we go through the siege of the Al-Shifa hospital, a 'ceasefire' proposal by the US, as well as the decision made by the Canadian government to halt arms exports to Israel.
-
5 months into this genocide, it may be getting harder for you to keep up with all the developments on the ground and around the world related to Palestine. Last week, we saw changes in the position of the US government regarding the Israeli government, a new policy to allegedly alleviate suffering in Gaza, and Israel's rejection of yet another ceasefire proposal by Hamas. Join us on the first of many weekly updates we will be bringing you.
-
From the simple misconception that Hamas launched a war on Israel to the idea that Israel has an inalienable right to defend itself through carpet bombing, Zionist propaganda has flooded the discourse with ideas which, when gone through systematically and logically, hold no value. In this episode, we go through and debunk some of the most common talking points that Israel has used to justify its genocide on Gaza. Join us!
-
Genocide is a heavy word that should never be used lightly. In this episode we explain what genocide actually means and how it applies to Gaza, and address popular misconceptions and talking points. Join us to understand why Palestinians, genocide scholars, and UN experts are insisting that this is indeed a genocide.
-
Building on our last episode, here we aim to delve deeper into the early contemporary history of Palestine between the late 19th century up until the Nakba in 1948. With Dr Pappé, a veteran Israeli scholar, we discuss life under colonialism, how lobbying shaped Western support of Israel up until today, as well as the escalation into the Nakba from British colonial rule.
