Forced displacement, mass incarceration, guns for votes. The Israeli government is currently taking advantage of the fact that everyone's eyes and ears are fixed on the Gaza Strip by accelerating its own agenda in the West Bank to completely ethnically cleanse it. All of these details (+ more) are discussed in this episode so that we can shed light and expose the Zionist state for what it is; a genocidal, settler-colonial regime. Join us!

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.

Who are Palestinian Christians?

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.

Are We on the Brink of War?

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.
