South Africa’s bold legal case against Israel on charges of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has shone a spotlight on the cracks in the liberal world order and exposed the duplicity of international law. 

In this episode of Stories of Resistance, we delve deep into how this unprecedented act of defiance by the Global South challenges the double standards of Western powers and international human rights.

The systematic oppression, ethnic cleansing, and dehumanization of the Palestinian people have continued unchecked for decades. Yet, South Africa—a nation bearing the scars of its own colonial past and apartheid—has stepped forward to confront this injustice. 

Drawing on its history of resisting racial oppression and fighting for liberation, South Africa’s case puts Western standards of justice to the test.

We also revisit the brutal legacy of apartheid South Africa and the unsung heroes who fought against it. At the heart of this episode is the powerful story of Imam Abdullah Haroon, an anti-apartheid activist who was tortured and murdered in 1969 for his resistance. His story serves as a parallel to contemporary struggles for justice and equality, illustrating how the spirit of resistance lives on in those who dare to speak truth to power.

Key Themes Covered in This Episode:

South Africa’s Legal Case: The significance of the ICJ genocide case against Israel and its implications for international law.

Western Hypocrisy: How the United States, the UK, and other Western powers uphold double standards when it comes to human rights.

Apartheid South Africa: The historical context of racial segregation and violence under colonial rule.

Imam Abdullah Haroon: The life, activism, and tragic death of one of South Africa’s most courageous anti-apartheid figures.

The Global South: How nations with colonial pasts are rising to challenge current systems of injustice and neocolonialism.

In this eye-opening episode of Stories of Resistance, we uncover the lesser-known journey of Malcolm X—from his visit to Sudan to his evolving perspective on global resistance. As Malcolm X transitioned from a civil rights leader in the U.S. to a voice for oppressed people worldwide, his experiences in Sudan and Gaza played a pivotal role in shaping his revolutionary vision.

Discover how Malcolm X connected the African-American struggle for justice with the broader fight for liberation in the Arab world, and how his encounters with leaders and activists in Sudan influenced his views on pan-Africanism and anti-colonialism. We also delve into the ties he built with Palestinian leaders, reshaping his understanding of global resistance.

Watch as we trace Malcolm X's transformation into a global revolutionary, whose message of unity, justice, and resistance transcended borders.

Italy’s colonial grip left scars etched deep into the North African soil. Italy’s colonial atrocities in Libya, including mass murder, forced displacement, and the establishment of concentration camps, represent the systemic violence inflicted by European powers across Africa. Nonetheless, European colonialists also underestimated the strength and determination of their colonized subjects.

In this episode of Stories of Resistance, Ilham guides us through Omar Mukhtar's story and the extraordinary courage of colonized peoples in the face of overwhelming oppression. Al-Mukhtar had been an inspiring anti-colonialism fighter even after his execution, as it fueled further resistance against Italian colonialism.

Al-Mukhtar’s legacy continues to inspire liberation movements worldwide, it reminds us that in the face of oppression, resilience blooms and justice demands defiance.

The West got Sufism wrong. Stereotyped by orientalists as apolitical, peaceful poets lost in personal spirituality, they missed the warriors within.

In this episode of Stories of Resistance, we travel to Somalia to explore the incredible story of the Dervishes, a Sufi order that fiercely resisted European colonialism for nearly 30 years. Led by the iconic Sayyid Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, also known as the "Mad Mullah" by the British, the Dervishes fought for their faith, freedom, and way of life.

In this episode, Stories of Resistance delves into the historical parallels between the Algerian struggle for independence and the ongoing settler colonial occupation of Palestine. From the brutal colonial rule imposed by the French in Algeria to the echoes of resistance resonating in the Palestinian territories, Ilham highlights the shared narratives of dispossession, subjugation, and relentless resistance. For this goal we sought to explore the legacies of Emir Abdelkadir al Jaza’iri and delve into the interconnected struggles for self-determination and justice.

As we confront the harrowing realities of colonial violence in Algeria, from the Setif genocide to the triumphant victory of the Algerian people over French oppression, we shed light on the atrocities committed by French forces and the heroic resistance of figures like Mostefa ben Boulaid and intellectuals such as Frantz Fanon. The parallels between the struggles of Algeria and Palestine educate us most on the colonial logic embedded in global power structures and call for a renewed commitment to courage and resistance.

Join us on a journey of reflection and hope as we honor the indomitable spirit of those who dared to challenge the status quo and pave the way for a more just world.

Western colonialism transcends mere physical occupation of land and resources; it operates on the insidious notion of rendering its subjects voiceless and dehumanized, serving as obstacles to imperial agendas. Our struggle against Israel's settler colonial project encompasses multiple fronts, including combating misinformation. One potent avenue is to delve deeply into our history, amplifying the voices of resistance, and reclaiming our narratives. Given their immense significance in preserving our heritage and truth, it is essential that the indigenous people tell their own stories. The narrative of Palestinian resistance mirrors this pattern. The ominous portrayal of terror and barbarity attributed to the Palestinian liberation movement has permeated the global consciousness to such an extent that the courageous tales of its heroes have been obscured in the annals of history. Among these unsung heroes stands the revolutionary scholar and anti-colonial fighter, Shaykh Izz ad-Deen al-Qassam.
