Recent Songs #75 :: Texas Morning

Since October 7th Israeli politicians, spokespeople, and Israel's supporters have mobilised feminist narratives in defence of the state's genocidal actions in Gaza and sought to portray Palestinian resistance to Israel as suffused with religiously inspired misogyny. In a recent article in Salvage, Sophie Lewis wrote about the way in which Zionist feminists have worked to defend the settler colonial project and how it places them in a long lineage of self-described feminists who have been enthusiastic supporters and participants in imperial conquest. In our conversation we talked about that history, and whether we're seeing a decline in Zionist feminism that parallels the broader crisis of liberal Zionism.

Israel and the history of imperial feminism w/ Sophie Lewis

What is Iran’s military and political strategy now that it has struck back against Israel’s illegal bombing of its embassy, and with another cycle of escalation looming? Israel’s strikes killed over a dozen people, including two Iranian generals, while Iran’s response produced no casualties. Why is Israel escalating? What does global public opinion look like towards the U.S. Empire on one side and the “Axis of Resistance” on the other? What consequences could the U.S. face in the region if Israel strikes again?

Iran Doesn’t Want Larger War with Israel But is Ready For It w/ Prof. Mohammad Marandi

How do mainstream politicians and pundits contribute to the normalisation of far-right ideas, even as they claim to reject racism and populism? That's one of many vital questions asked by Aaron Winter and Aurelien Mondon in their book Reactionary Democracy.

Following ACFM's recent Trip about Fascism, Keir and Jem speak to Aaron and Aurelien about the making of the "woke conspiracy", how illiberal politics absorbs liberal rhetoric, and why the left has to stop falling for reactionary narratives – and give up "debating" the far-right.

Produced by Matt Huxley.
