Over the past couple of weeks, American campuses have erupted over Israel's war in Gaza, with encampments springing up all over the nation. Some of these movements have been met with anti-semitism allegations and police violence alike. In this episode, I speak to the people behind these movements–two organizers, a reporter and a participant. Zeno (MIT student organizer), Jude Taha (Columbia student & journalist), Harry (UNC student organizer), and Molly (UNC participant).

Mairav Zonszein is an Israel-Palestine senior analyst at the International Crisis Group. She has been covering Israeli politics and U.S foreign policy for over a decade.

In episode 38 of the Tahrir Podcast, Mairav tuned in to speak about how the current right-wing Israeli government, led by Bibi Netanyahu, came to be. She discussed the military objectives of Israel's brutal war in Gaza, the Israeli public's perception of this aggressive war, Bibi being on trial for corruption, as well as the intimidation, forcible expulsion, and harassment of Palestinians in the West Bank. She also explored what a Rafah Operation would mean for Gazans displaced there on the border with Egypt and, ultimately, how the U.S. could pressure Israel into a permanent ceasefire.

Omenya is a Khartoum resident who joined me from Wad Madani, Sudan as it fell to the RSF to talk about the harrowing situation unfolding there.
A safe haven for those who fled from Khartoum as the war broke out in April 2023, Wad Madani fell to the RSF just four days ago. A safe haven no longer, hundreds of civilians are now trapped in the city. Hospitals are no longer functional. Tune in to hear from one of the people there.
