It can be difficult to simply exist in the world these days. There’s a lot to navigate: rise of Fascism and Israel’s annihilation of Gaza are alone to make that navigation very heavy. But we don’t only owe it to our Palestinian friends. We also have an amazing community of people to learn from. That’s what my episode is about.

Netanyahu’s Speech to US Congress: Propaganda as Expected, Applause as Imperialism and Militarism Demand
This wasn’t the first time the US Congress would host a war criminal (it has been a workplace for some of them, after all). But Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress is historic, and it will be remembered by history adequately.
Have You Seen The New CBS News Piece on Children of Gaza?
There are numerous accounts of what doctors who have come back from Gaza have witnessed. The brutality and murderousness of the Israeli forces, used against Gaza’s most vulnerable population, seems incredible. But we have to believe it. We have to know, to bear witness, and to speak out.
Israel’s Annihilation of Gaza: From Simple Gaslighting to The Impossibility of Knowing What’s Happening
This is exactly what those who still stand by Israel’s fascist government have: a simple denial of reality. That’s their only “counterargument”. In my episode, I present to you a list of examples what – and by whom – they have to deny.
On Israel’s Destruction of Young Palestinian Lives: Controversy Is Not in Speaking Out, Controversy Is in The Silence
The new report by Save The Children states that up to 21,000 children are missing in Gaza: their families can’t find them, they’re trapped under the rubble, or buried in mass graves.

On Julian Assange, Palestine, and The Empire
What a sentence to write: Julian Assange is free! Let’s allow ourselves to celebrate and to continue seeing how different systems of oppressions are connected (in this case, under imperialism coming from the same source).
Reflections on The False World-Wide Scare of Having Lost Noam Chomsky
The best news this week is that Noam Chomsky is still alive! After experiencing the world-wide scare of (falsely) having lost Noam Chomsky, I’ve recorded this quick episode for you. So that we don’t fall into despair and continue honouring Chomsky’s work.
Israel to Be Put on UN’s Blacklist of Countries Who Harm Children in Conflicts: What Does It Mean?
The UN has announced that this month it is adding Israel to its blacklist of parties who commit grave violations affecting children in situations of armed conflict. What is this list and what does it really mean?
Israel’s Secret Campaign to Shelter Its Leaders from Accountability
A recent investigation just revealed something criminal yet not unexpected: a secret campaign by Israel to impede investigations by the International Criminal Court into its systemic oppression of its Palestinian population. Learn about it from Kenneth Roth, a big name in the international law and human rights arena.
Why Would It Matter If We Called Israel a Rogue State?
If a country shows complete contempt for international law and the world order (no matter how colonial and imperfect), why should it still be treated as “normal” state by the international community?
That’s a question we’re all asking about Israel’s completely disregard for international law and the world’s courts as it’s continuing its mass murder in Gaza.
