With a healthy mix of ineptitude from the British media and misinformation spread on social media, we couldn't just sit down and record a normal episode this week. Joined by friend of the show, Busayo Twins, we take a deep dive into the history of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, unpack the myopic one-sided reporting from the British media (*insert shocked meme here) and ask, what can we do know in the wake of possibly witnessing a genocide in real time.
