#12 | The Palestine Episode
🎙️ This week, we speak plainly: what's happening in Gaza is genocide.
Thousands of children in Gaza are dying of starvation under a brutal blockade. Hospitals are constantly bombed. Entire families are being (and have been) erased by the Israeli state. The 77th anniversary of the Nakba is marked not only in memory, but in the ongoing reality of ethnic cleansing. And yet, our media remains silent.
We sit with the horror and look to the people who are taking action – on the streets, in their workplaces, through divestment, disruption, and collective resistance. We talk about what you can do in the face of these violent institutions enabling this brutality, and how to build new ones rooted in care, justice, and humanity: ethical banks, democratic media systems, credit unions, co-operatives, and alternative economies.
