On June 13th, the Israeli Occupation Forces launched  Operation Rising Lion , a massive military escalation targeting over 100 sites in Iran.

Palestinian analyst Rami Khouri joins us to give his insights for this episo...

2024 will be remembered as one of the darkest years in human history for the genocide in Gaza.

In September, Israel violently escalated its offensive against Lebanon, allegedly aiming to destroy the anti-Zionist resistance group and political party, Hezbollah, for its support for Palestine and anti-genocide intervention.

To close up our series, we bring forth the key principles that define what is actually needed for liberation, not simply 'peace'.

Palestinians who were able to remain in their historical homeland during the Nakba of 1948 represent a small but significant proportion of the Israeli population today. In this episode, we speak with Rami Younis, a Palestinian journalist and TV presenter, and ask a range of questions revolving around life growing up in a society built on the ruins of your own people, as well as the dramatic overtl...

Something that often confuses Western audiences about the Palestinian struggle is how some Arab states, who would be expected to support the Palestinians, in actual fact have deep relations with the Israeli state. This, among other issues such as a potential future Israeli-Saudi normalisation deal are the topic of Part 3: Arab Normalisation. In this episode, we bring you the insights of Dr. Imad H...

In this episode, we visualise what they mean when they say this, going through each of the key features of what the Two State Solution really means. Very quickly, we see that the proposal is not only logistically impossible to implement, but also a solution based off a...

The one time Palestinians and Israelis were apparently close to peace was in 1993 at the signing of the Oslo Accords. 30 years on, peace has never looked as unlikely as it does now, which begs the question, what was in these 'peace' agreements and can they really have been as comprehensive as they are often nowadays made out to be? In this episode, we take a look at the context and the specifics o...

For two weeks the world watched anxiously to see how Iran would respond to the attack on their consulate in Damascus, Syria, at the hands of the State of Israel. On the night of the 13th of April, we got our answer. Hundreds of drones and missiles were fired at Israel from Iranian territory for the first time ever. But how did we get into this situation in the first place? In this episode, we brea...

From the simple misconception that Hamas launched a war on Israel to the idea that Israel has an inalienable right to defend itself through carpet bombing, Zionist propaganda has flooded the discourse with ideas which, when gone through systematically and logically, hold no value. In this episode, we go through and debunk some of the most common talking points that Israel has used to justify its g...
