On today's episode of #SumudPodcast, we uplift, empower, and amplify Lebanese-American journalist Rania Khalek.

Rania is an award-winning journalist whose work appeared on several news networks such as Al Jazeera, the Grayzone, The Intercept, The Nation, Vice, and more. She became well-known for standing up against the Zionist propaganda and defending the Palestinian and Lebanese right to resistance and liberation.

Join us as Dr. Ed Hasan & Rania Khalek take us on a journey of exploring the deeper workings of the #MiddleEast, #Palestine, #Lebanon #America, #Israel, and what's happening around the world right now. We'll be diving into topics like the Axsis of Resistance, how the Oct. 7th has impacted daily life as an Arab American, and Rania's appearance on the Piers Morgan show.
