Although my articles didn’t stop, my podcast did take a needed break.
In its first season (22 episodes!), I’ve talked about:
– Palestine
– Brazil
– Chile
– Argentina
– Bolivia
– Belarus
– Lithuania
– Australia
– New Zealand
– Jordan
– Thailand
and the US, of course.
I’ve talked about different aspects (and assets) of democratic regimes and how countries move between that and authoritarianism, the importance of political representation for minorities and other vulnerable populations, some messed up history of Latin America, social issues in Lithuania and other places, and, needless to say, various ways to deconstruct what’s happening in Palestine.
State-sanctioned violence and other forms of oppression, exclusion, silencing, misrepresentation, fear-mongering, dehumanisation…
There’s so much to cover.
There’s so much to speak out against.
There’s so much to change for the better.
Now, I’ll see you in the second season of The Exploding Head podcast!
In it, you’ll see more collaborations, more regions covered, and…well, some topics that you’ve heard about already, simply because there are issues about which we have to talk continuously.
Thank you for sticking around and for caring, and for amplifying the ideas that need that amplification so much!

On Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya And The BBC’s Irresistible Desire to Quote Israel
We’ve had enough of the propaganda of the occupier being repeated by the legacy media. And when it still gives airtime to unsubstantiated claims by the Israeli government regarding Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya even as his life is at risk, we should be enraged.
How to Make (No) Sense of The New Lebanese Agreement with Israel
As the Lebanese government signs an agreement with Israel, seemingly disregarding the leverage Iran is currently granting them, what does this all mean? What does it mean for Hezbollah, Lebanese resistance, and the future of the country itself?
On The Targeting of Children And The Yoga to Treat One’s PTSD afterwards (The Zionist Universe)
In one universe, the army of the occupier is deliberately targeting children and continuing its genocide. In another universe, the same soldiers are portrayed in a way to evoke our compassion. Can you guess which one is a Zionist universe?
Where The Swings Between A Human-Centric and A Fascist Government Will Stop in Colombia
The results of the presidential elections in Colombia today will determine not only where the country is going, but whether the world will keep a loud anticolonial, anti-imperial, and antizionist government.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Palestinian Sumud in The Courts of The Occupier
As Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya appeared via video in the Israeli Supreme Court, I invite you to name what we’re actually seeing: resistance against a fascist apartheid regime, enabled by our governments.
How The World Cup in a Fascist Country Looks, and How Nothing Can Be Expected of FIFA
How the U.S. is treating athletes coming to compete in the World Cup would only be surprising to those who either don’t know too much about rise of fascism in the U.S., or the history of FIFA itself.
An Interview on Iran and Israel You Have to See
This is an absolute must-watch: Jeremy Scahill, one of the few journalists who interviews and is trusted by various actors, including the Iranian government, talks to Samir Mohyeddin about the U.S.-Iranian negotiations and Israel’s “fragile ceasefires” in Gaza and Lebanon. It’s a conversation good for our brains and conscience.
When Words Become Both The Representation And The Represented
The simplest propaganda technique – blatant lies – might be all that Israel and its supporters have left in their toolbox. Yet words with no meaning is what our leaders, too, have been resorting to for years now, following Israel itself.
Israel: The Only Country Whose Actions Never Represent Itself
If it is not its ministers, navy, police, prison guards, people marching on the streets, nor settlers protected by the army, who, then, actually represents Israel?
Updates On The Global Sumud Flotilla: Saif and Thiago Are Free
After their kidnapping and illegal detention in Israel, Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Avila have been released. Our global pressure worked. But our work is far from over.
