Indian journalist, Saurabh Kumar Shahi, discusses the history of Israel-India close security ties and Israel's slipping grip over the narrative of its occupation of Palestine.

Navid explains the Modern World System theory to compare the present-day US empire with premodern empires. The US, he argues, relies on sanctions, tariffs, and wars to keep Global South countries trapped in the periphery status.

"Death to America" chants and the anti-imperialist resistance in Iran is only part of the story! There is also a significant demographic that loves the West! Navid explains the history behind the West-loving attitudes, tracing the early history of Europhile modernism in the country.

Navid speaks with Mohammad Ali Mojaradi (aka, Sharghzadeh), the Iranian-American founder of the popular online literary page “PersianPoetics”.

Mojaradi speaks about Rumi’s life and legacy and the erasure of his Muslim identity in the West. Mojaradi also comments on his experience as a politically-independent content creator who is being affected by the imperialist sanctions against Iran.

The Trump administration is escalating its threats of war against Venezuela. Navid joined Latin American affairs journalist, Camila Escalante, for the latest news and analysis on yet another US 'regime change' war in the world. We also discuss other related subjects, including the biggest obsession of the US media: is socialism responsible for the lack of purchasing power in Global South countries, like Venezuela?

When college students saw the connection to Israel's actions in Palestine, they led a nationwide protest movement, and then came the repression from the state, the university admins, and cultural institutions, including the defunding of postcolonial and Middle Eastern studies. Navid explains.
