Resistance Is Existence Podcast

In this powerful and emotionally charged episode of Resistance is Existence, we sit down with Palestinian-American activist Palinada, who offers an unfiltered look at the historical and modern-day parallels between Nazi ideology and Zionist practices in Israel and the U.S.

Palinada speaks candidly on the resilience of the Palestinian people—starved, silenced, but never broken. She reflects on the systemic deprivation of water, food, and freedom in Gaza and beyond, and how the global community must reckon with this ongoing catastrophe.

We dive deep into Theodor Herzl's The Jewish State and explore how the ideologies in its pages are echoed in contemporary policy and violence. This isn’t just history—it’s a warning.

“The blood, sweat, and tears will be remembered,” Palinada states, “but it’s going to get worse before it gets better.”

This is not just a conversation. It’s a call to consciousness.

In this powerful episode of Resistance is Existence, we sit down with Nader Abed — A Palestinian American journalist. Nader was the former head of operations at Al Jazeera and currently is at Al Mayadeen. Nader shares his deeply personal journey, from growing up under occupation to navigating life in the U.S. post-9/11 as a Palestinian-American.

We dive into Nader’s unique perspective on the current crisis in Palestine, the ongoing war crimes being committed against the Palestinian people, and what it means to tell the truth in an era of media distortion and political silence. Nader also reflects on the trauma and resilience that shaped his identity — and the path that led him to journalism and advocacy.

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation that highlights both the human cost of war and the power of resistance through storytelling.

In this powerful episode of Resistance Is Existence, Jon is joined by Noor, an advocate and organizer working tirelessly to support Palestinian civilians. Noor has been instrumental in coordinating water trucks into Gaza, working in partnership with Ahmed Nabil, who remains on the ground providing life-saving aid during one of the most devastating humanitarian crises of our time.

This episode dives deep into:

• Noor’s intersectional journey—how her personal identity informs her activism

• The structural racism behind the occupation of Palestine

• The reality that the occupation is not just military, but a system rooted in white supremacy

• The West Bank’s rising death toll—over 1,000 lives lost since Oct 7, 2023, the majority being women and children

• How the U.S., as a settler colony, mirrors and supports Israel’s violent oppression

• The broader legacy of state-sanctioned violence, both in Palestine and in marginalized communities across America

This conversation is a sobering reminder that what’s happening in Gaza and the West Bank is not isolated—it’s part of a global system of racialized violence and control. Noor offers both a truth-telling lens and a call to action.

In Part 2 of this urgent discussion, we are joined again by Regina “Rei” Stone-Grover (@tpol_action_space)—a community organizer, advocate, and founder of Free Your Phire.

This episode examines the structural failures fueling violence and oppression globally. We break down the role of American leadership, including Donald Trump’s contributions to the deterioration of civil society, the normalization of state violence, and the deepening of white supremacy.

The conversation highlights how Israel’s ideological commitment to the erasure of Palestinians is supported by Western powers with no meaningful accountability. We also explore how socialization—particularly how boys and young men are raised—continues to perpetuate rape culture, imperialism, and systemic oppression.

Rei and the Resistance is Existence team emphasize the critical need for communities to reexamine their values, redirect their economic power, and demand global human rights. Advocacy is not optional; it is necessary for survival.

🎙️ Resistance is Existence documents truth, organizes resistance, and amplifies the fight for collective liberation.

In this episode of Resistance is Existence, we are joined by CJ, an 18-year-old college student and sharp political thinker, to explore the urgent crises facing both America and the world today.

CJ brings a critical lens to the conversation, examining the societal collapse unfolding in the United States, the failures of leadership, and the widespread disconnection between American perception and global realities. He discusses the devastating war upon the Palestinian people, the struggles for Black liberation, and the consequences of unchecked power.

This episode also looks at the growing fear and pressure facing college students who dare to speak out on human rights issues, especially regarding the conflict between Israel and Palestine. In a time of increasing repression and political instability, CJ sheds light on the importance of revolutionary thought, solidarity movements, and reclaiming truth in a society shaped by propaganda.

Resistance is Existence continues to amplify bold voices that refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice.

In Part 1 of this deeply moving episode of Resistance is Existence, we sit down with Regina “Rei” Stone-Grover- a woman of color, survivor, community organizer, and founder of Free Your Phire, an initiative that builds trauma-informed spaces for collective healing.

Rei shares her personal story of surviving police brutality and reflects on how her identity has shaped her experiences with systemic racism and state violence. We explore how white supremacy and structural racism continue to harm Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Palestinian communities—and how healing, organizing, and revolutionary care are forms of resistance.

As Director of the Youth Department for the Black Revolutionary Collective, Rei brings powerful insight into the work of grassroots liberation, radical healing, and building futures beyond oppression.

This is a necessary conversation about what it means to survive, resist, and rebuild while living under systems designed to erase us.

In this urgent update, we confront the haunting reality for the children of Gaza, who are waking up to the sound of bombs—if they wake up at all. This generation is being shaped by trauma, loss, and a world that turns its back on their suffering.

We also reflect on the death of Pope Francis and his historical stance against the Zionist occupation. The Pope repeatedly spoke out for the dignity and humanity of the Palestinian people. His passing marks the loss of one of the few world leaders who publicly challenged the narrative of occupation.

This is more than a crisis—this is a holocaust, and silence is complicity.

🎙️ Resistance is Existence is a podcast that documents real-time oppression, imperialism, and the people who resist. This update is a call to stay informed, stay loud, and demand justice for the voiceless.

In this episode, we sit down with Freedom (@rootedinfreedom_) to talk about the massacre of Palestinian paramedics—the very people risking their lives to save others, now being deliberately targeted and killed. This is not just war; this is genocide in real time.

We also discuss the power of advocacy—why your voice matters in this fight—and the April 5th National Protest, a movement demanding justice, liberation, and an end to genocide. This is a moment in history where we must show up, speak out, and resist.

💔 Meet Momen—a young, brave Palestinian experiencing the genocide firsthand. He and his family of nine are fighting to survive. You can help them evacuate to safety. Donate to his GoFundMe: 👉 https://www. gofundme.com/f/support-momens-family-of-9-in-evacuating-to-safety

We also break down the ongoing war and genocide in Yemen—a humanitarian catastrophe fueled by imperialist interests and Western-backed airstrikes. While the media stays silent, we will not.

🗣️ RESISTANCE IS EXISTENCE. ADVOCACY IS POWER. SHOW UP.
