Podcast Ep 33: The Israel lobby’s war on ethnic studies with Robin D.G. Kelley and Lara Kiswani

On episode 36, Nora and Asa host a discussion on the advances of Palestinian resistance tactics and Israel's strategic mistakes during Israel's latest assault on Gaza.

We are joined by our colleague and The Electronic Intifada's executive director Ali Abunimah and journalist and researcher Jon Elmer.

Podcast Ep 36: How Palestinian resistance defeated Israel

On episode 68, we speak with activist and blogger Tony Greenstein, a veteran of the Palestine solidarity movement in the UK, about his new book Zionism During the Holocaust: The Weaponization of Memory in the Service of State and Nation.
With an anti-Zionist analysis, Greenstein’s book dives into the history of the Zionist movement’s collaboration with the far right, even including Nazi Germany, while seeking to build the state of Israel.

In a special audio podcast episode dedicated to the voice and the words of Dr. Refaat Alareer, we weave together five separate interviews we conducted between 2014 and 2018.

Alareer was a beloved professor, poet and mentor who helped sharpen countless young minds and who still inspires people all over the world. He was murdered by Israel on 6 December, 2023, along with six other members of his family in Gaza.

Ceasefire Day 5: Bringing genocide perpetrators to justice

Watch entire broadcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGsMNLIteXw

On Monday evening I was brought to Zurich airport in handcuffs, in a small metal cage inside a windowless prison van and led all the way to the plane by police. This is after three days and two nights in a Swiss prison cut off from communication with the outside world.

I had come to Switzerland at the invitation of Swiss citizens to talk about justice in Palestine and accountability for the genocide. But shortly before my first scheduled speaking event, I was grabbed off the street by undercover cops, and taken into custody.

I’m thrilled now to be back in Amman with my family. I’ve received so many messages of love and support from far more people than I can individually thank. I want to take this opportunity to express how much these messages of solidarity mean to me and to all of us at The Electronic Intifada.

Can speaking about Palestine really be deemed such a threat that those so-called democracies are resorting to naked police-state tactics of this kind? How far will they sink in the service of a genocidal regime?

On a special Electronic Intifada Livestream today, I’ll talk about what I experienced and we’ll discuss the unprecedented levels of repression faced by independent journalism and the Palestine solidarity movement, and what I learned from this experience.

We’ll also talk about the historic scenes as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians defied Israel’s effort to ethnically cleanse them, and joined a joyous procession of return to their homes in the north of Gaza.
