This Week In Palestine

A newborn baby.  Tiny fingers.  A mother’s trembling smile.  The quiet miracle of life arriving in a world that does not deserve it. Caroline Leavitt welcomed her daughter into that miracle,  a moment every parent understands,  a moment that softens even the hardest truths. And yet, in that same breath, she defended the killing of 168 girls in Iran.  One mother celebrating new life,  while justify...

There are moments in history when a nation begins to tremble,  not because an enemy has breached its walls,  but because the truth has finally breached its story.  Today, we step into one of those moments. This episode is not about predictions.  It is not about wishes.  It is about the unmistakable signs of a system straining under its own weight.  A story of a state confronting the limits of its...

Imagine this for a moment.  You live in a home that has been in your family for generations.  A home built with your parents’ hands, filled with your children’s laughter, rooted in the soil where your memories grow. You plant flowers in the front yard. You tend to an olive tree in the back. You raise your family with the quiet dignity that comes from belonging to a place that belongs to you. Now i...

Before you begin listening to today’s program, I want to return to a pattern we’ve been noticing in recent conversations. A pattern of contradictions delivered within the same breath. One moment we hear that the conflict is ending, and in the next, that it is escalating. One moment there are negotiations, and the next, threats of wiping someone off the map. One moment we are told the Strait of Hor...

Today, we open with three voices, three videos, three warnings echoing across the digital world. Each comes from a different creator, a different background, a different corner of the political landscape. And yet, together, they reveal something deeper about the moment we are living in. Something unsettling. Something urgent. Something we can no longer afford to ignore. The first voice comes from...

So here we are, standing in the aftermath of a war that was never meant to be ours, a war that many people across this country still cannot explain, still cannot justify, and still cannot understand. A war that began with shifting statements, inconsistent explanations, and a trail of confusion that left the American public asking the same question over and over again: How did we end up here? We we...

So here we are, standing in a moment where the news about Palestine is fading from the headlines, even though the genocide has not stopped for a single day. The suffering continues, the destruction continues, the displacement continues, but the media has succeeded in shifting the world’s attention somewhere else. They’ve redirected the spotlight, and now the entire national conversation revolves a...

In 1948, an entire world was overturned.  Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were uprooted from their homes, families pushed into exile, villages emptied, communities scattered across borders they never chose.  Homes were left behind with the doors still open, meals still on the table, keys still in the hands of those who believed they would return in a few days.  More than 400 towns and villag...

What is happening to our leadership, and why are we letting people with no shame, no accountability, and no sense of responsibility shape our lives? There was a time when authority meant example.   A supervisor, a manager, a leader someone you could look to for clarity, steadiness, and integrity. But today, many people feel they are living under leaders who lie openly, contradict themselves public...

Today, we turn to another critical conversation, one that widens the lens beyond Palestine and into the escalating war between the United States and Iran. Retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor, a former Pentagon adviser known for his blunt strategic assessments, joined geopolitical analyst Cyrus Janssen to examine what they call the most dangerous phase of the conflict. Their discussion, titled “Worst...

Across the hills and valleys of the West Bank, life for Palestinians unfolds under a system of control that touches every hour of every day. Checkpoints carve the land into fragments. Settlements expand across hilltops once covered with olive trees. Roads are restricted, movement is monitored, and entire communities live with the constant uncertainty of raids, demolitions, and military presence. W...

Today, we open with a truth that has shaped every conversation we’ve had on this show: the Palestinian tragedy is not a moment in history, it is a living wound. A wound carried by families in Gaza, in the West Bank, in refugee camps, and in every home that has watched a child grow up under occupation. And yet, even as the suffering deepens, the world’s attention drifts. Headlines fade. Newsrooms s...

The Palestinian tragedy stretches across generations; a wound carried in the open for the world to see yet so often ignored. Entire communities have been uprooted, cities shattered, and families torn apart, while the global news cycle moves on as if grief has an expiration date. The media, once trusted to bear witness, has repeatedly failed them reducing a people’s suffering to fleeting headlines,...

Today we turn to a YouTube video that has resurfaced with renewed relevance: “Israel Does Not Target the Palestinian Civilians.”  The video, originally uploaded more than a decade ago, challenges one of Israel’s most frequently repeated claims that its military avoids harming civilians.  Through archival footage and documented incidents, it highlights a long‑standing pattern of civilian casualties...

When the Story Becomes the Weapon Today, we open with the reality the world keeps trying to rename. On Saturday, Israeli airstrikes across Gaza killed at least thirty‑two Palestinians—lives added to the more than five hundred already lost during what officials insisted on calling a “ceasefire.” A ceasefire in name only. One that never reached the families sheltering in shattered buildings, never r...

Today, we open with a conversation that cuts straight through the noise. Across social media and mainstream platforms, polished narratives about Israel’s history circulate with confidence, often delivered by high‑profile commentators who speak with certainty but not always with accuracy. One of the loudest among them is Ben Shapiro, whose claims about the origins of the conflict, the Nakba, and Pa...

What we are witnessing today is a moment many anticipated, and one that others are only now beginning to grasp. Gaza, in the eyes of powerful political and financial actors, is being treated less like a home for two million people and more like a prize handed to the highest bidder. The narrative emerging from the Trump circle, echoed by the wealthy investors around him, frames Gaza as a future dev...

We all agree that antisemitism is wrong. There is no debate on that point. Hatred toward Jewish people, or toward any community because of who they are, is unacceptable. It is a moral failure and a danger that must be confronted wherever it appears. But acknowledging that truth does not mean ignoring how the word antisemitism is sometimes used in ways that have nothing to do with protecting Jewish...

In today’s political climate, few terms are thrown around with as much force, and as much confusion, as antisemitism and anti‑Zionism . They are often spoken in the same breath, treated as interchangeable, or used to shut down conversations before they even begin. But these two concepts are not the same, and understanding the difference between them is essential for anyone who cares about truth, j...

In this week’s episode, we turn our attention to a conversation that has been stirring debate across global media and academic circles alike—a recent analysis by journalist and political commentator Ali Abunimah , titled “Israel’s Catastrophic Failure.” This discussion arrives at a moment when the region is still trembling from the aftershocks of the Gaza war, and when the political landscape of t...

Today, we begin with a question that cuts deeper than headlines:  What is the war on Gaza really about? They want you to believe it’s religious.  They want you to believe it’s ancient hatred or a sudden eruption of violence.  But look closer.  Think deeper.  Because nothing about this war feels spontaneous, accidental, or purely reactive. Was this truly a retaliation for October 7th—  or was Octob...

Today, we begin with honesty.  We are witnessing an architecture of erasure,  a project where history is rewritten with bulldozers and bombs.  The world watches; some in silence, others in open complicity.  But here, on this program, we refuse silence. We ask the question the world keeps avoiding:   How long must a people suffer before their humanity is finally recognized as sacred. To help us pee...

This collection of words, testimonies, and scripts is not simply a broadcast—it is a record of truth. Today we traced the crimes of settlers in the West Bank, the genocide unfolding in Gaza, and the silence of governments that enable Israel’s destruction. We named Zionism for what it is: an ideology of erasure, a system of violence that has brought misery and insecurity to millions.   We remembere...

As always, we turn our gaze to Gaza.  not only to the bombs that fell,  not only to the ceasefire that never came,  but to the plans whispered in Washington and echoed by Donald Trump. Trump’s vision for Gaza is not peace.  It is profit.  It is reconstruction for investors,  skyscrapers rising over rubble,  contracts signed over graves. And he is not alone.  He is supported by guarantor states tha...

The 56th Annual National Day of Mourning – Plymouth, MA The 56th Annual National Day of Mourning was held on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2025, at Cole’s Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Since 1970, Indigenous people and allies have gathered here each year to mourn ancestors lost to colonization and to challenge the myth of Pilgrims and Native harmony. The tradition began when Wamsutta Frank Jam...
