Let's Talk Palestine Lets Talk Palestine

Producer of the documentary The Truth: Lost at Sea, and survivor of the Freedom Flotilla massacre, Rifat Odeh, takes us through his experience on the boat that attempted to break the siege and deliver much needed humanitarian aid to Gaza. We begin by asking the question why a humanitarian mission was necessary, before developing into the dark scenes that the Israeli military unfolded on the aid workers, as well as diving into the propaganda machine that attempted to save Israel's image. This comes during a crucial time where a new flotilla looks to leave for the same mission to Gaza in 2024.

As the international escalation between Iran and Israel begins to die down again for now, in this episode we shift our attention back to the reality on the ground in Gaza from the last week. In this time, we saw the uncovering of mass graves containing over 300 bodies, many of which with evidence of serious human rights abuses such as torture and mutilation. We also shortly turn our attention to the growing demonstrations on US college campuses demanding divestment from companies profiting off the genocide in Gaza.

For two weeks the world watched anxiously to see how Iran would respond to the attack on their consulate in Damascus, Syria, at the hands of the State of Israel. On the night of the 13th of April, we got our answer. Hundreds of drones and missiles were fired at Israel from Iranian territory for the first time ever. But how did we get into this situation in the first place? In this episode, we break down the context and the Iranian operation itself, in what certainly will not be the end of hostilities between the two powers.

Murdering foreign aid workers and bombing an Iranian diplomatic facility are only two of many despicable acts that Israel undertook this week to mark exactly six months of their ongoing genocide in Gaza. In this episode we take you through these stories, among others such as the significant use of AI in this genocide, the attempt to censor Al-Jazeera within the occupied territories, but also the increasing pressure at the ICJ on countries that are complicit in the genocide such as Germany.
