Israel murdered Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022, then lied about it. The Biden administration helped them cover it up. Now, Israel is targeting even more journalists — with impunity. Rania Khalek is joined by Dion Nissenbaum, executive producer of the new documentary “Who Killed Shireen?” and Lina Abu Akleh, human rights advocate and Shireen’s niece, to discuss the murder, the media disinformation campaign, the U.S. obstruction of justice, and why Israel is deliberately targeting journalists.

Manolo De Los Santos, Co-Executive Director of The People’s Forum and a researcher at Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, joins the show to discuss the Trump administration’s threats against Venezuela. The US deployed warships off the coast of Venezuela and placed a $50 million bounty on President Nicolás Maduro’s head, under the pretext of alleged drug trafficking charges. De Los Santos argues the “narco-state” accusations are baseless attempts to justify regime change and the plunder of Venezuela’s vast oil and mineral wealth.

For the past two years, Israel has pursued a strategy of making Gaza a “hell on earth.” Through the systematic destruction of the infrastructure required for society to function and the deliberate use of starvation as a weapon, the occupation has sought to make life unlivable. This panel brings together Palestinian speakers to discuss life in Gaza amid genocidal attempts to erase it. They will speak to how Gaza’s doctors, nurses, aid workers, journalists, engineers, writers, and civil defense teams continue to work under fire, protect life, and uphold dignity in the midst of a U.S.-backed, Israeli-led campaign of genocide.

Over the past year, we have seen a shift in public consciousness: from demanding an immediate ceasefire to demanding a full arms embargo on Israel. Mass protests have erupted in the ports of Morocco, French dockworkers have refused to handle military cargo destined to Israel, and Spain has passed a policy to enact an arms embargo against Israel. This panel brings together speakers from across different geographies to discuss the momentum behind grassroots arms embargo campaigns; the strategic role of labor, civil society and state forces; and most importantly, how we can enact a people’s arms embargo.

Canadian photojournalist Valerie Zink joins the show for an exclusive interview after publicly resigning from Reuters over its “betrayal of journalists in Gaza.” After Israel bombed Nasser Hospital and killed one of Reuters' own journalists in a double-tap strike, the outlet reported Israel’s false claim that the intended target was “Hamas cameras.” Valerie Zink tells BreakThrough News why she resigned over “Reuters role in justifying and enabling the killing of 245 journalists in Gaza,” including Anas Al-Sharif, and why she thinks other journalists have a responsibility to do the same. Manolo De Los Santos, Co-Executive Director of The People’s Forum and a researcher at Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, joins the show to discuss the Trump administration’s threats against Venezuela. The US deployed warships off the coast of Venezuela and placed a $50 million bounty on President Nicolás Maduro’s head, under the pretext of alleged drug trafficking charges. De Los Santos argues the “narco-state” accusations are baseless attempts to justify regime change and the plunder of Venezuela’s vast oil and mineral wealth. Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear discuss Israel’s intensifying destruction of Gaza, as Israel prepares its invasion of Gaza City and its starvation of Palestinians has reached its most lethal stage yet. Lebanon-based host Rania Khalek responds to U.S. Envoy Tom Barrack’s racist rhetoric, calling Lebanese journalists “animalistic” and “uncivilized.” Byron Sigcho Lopez, Alderperson for Chicago’s 25th ward, joins the show as Trump threatens to expand his militarized police-state crackdown from Washington, D.C., to Chicago. Lopez will discuss the racist politics driving Trump’s takeover and how Chicago residents and grassroots organizers are mobilizing to fight back. Brian Goldstone, author of There Is No Place For Us: Working and Homeless in America, joins the show as the Supreme Court’s Grants Pass ruling and a Trump executive order fuel a nationwide crackdown on the homeless, while at the same time housing, health, and nutrition programs are slashed. Goldstone will explain how the criminalization of poverty is escalating, why millions are struggling to survive, and why punishing homelessness is not only cruel but completely counterproductive.

Donald Trump and the GOP opened up a two-front war by attacking the Federal Reserve and planning a sequel to the Big Beautiful Bill. By attempting to remove Lisa Cook from the Fed, Trump seeks to stack the board of governors with loyalists who will pursue reckless money printing policies. It won’t be enough to cover the budget deficits that resulted from the Trump tax cuts so the GOP is planning a “sequel” to the Big Beautiful Bill that will further cut Medicaid and target federal student aid.
