Alex Rowell is a journalist, writer, and online editor at New Lines Magazine.

In episode 40 of Tahrir Podcast, we discussed his most recent book, “We Are Your Soldiers: How Gamal Abdel Nasser Remade the Arab World,” which offers an eccentric but provocative retelling of modern Arab history, providing an engaging account of Nasser's influence on the Middle East. The book delves into Nasser’s role in shaping authoritarian systems across the Arab region, examining his influence beyond Egypt, including his interactions in countries like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen.

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.
