Dr. Mahmoud Alhirthani is an Associate Professor of Translation and Intercultural Studies at Alaqsa University, Gaza. Author of Utopia of Existence: Prospects of the One State Solution in Palestine (in Arabic), Alhirthani is also a translator with specific focus on International Law and Human Rights in Palestine. His Arabic translation of Brownlie's Principles of Public International Law (2022) won Shiekh Hamad Award for Translation and International Understanding (2023). In this episode of PalCast, he examines English-speaking media coverage of human rights in Palestine with special reference to the Israeli de-civilianisation of the Palestinians. He talks about narrative, demonization and the need for a de-colonial narrative. We also discuss Israel's decision to close its Embassy in Ireland and what that means beyond the headlines.
