    Death by hanging: Israel law sparks global alarm | UpFront

    A controversial new law passed in Israel is drawing sharp international criticism, with rights groups warning it could deepen apartheid and fast-track executions of Palestinian detainees. The law introduces the death penalty by hanging for certain acts defined as “terrorism,” raising concerns about how it will be applied in a system critics say already treats Palestinians and Israelis differently. This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with human rights lawyer Diana Buttu about what the law means in practice, how it could be enforced, and whether it can be challenged under international law.

    War on Iran: 'It's going to have multi-generational impacts'

    The US-Israeli war with Iran has left a devastating humanitarian impact that could last for years. The bombing of energy infrastructure, fuel depots, and oil tankers has not only shocked the global economy, but polluted air, soil, food and waterways with toxic chemicals. In response to escalating attacks from the US and Israel, Iran has threatened to bomb desalination plants in the Gulf, which millions of people in the region rely on for drinking water. So what will be the true toll of this war on populations and ecosystems around the globe? This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with Narges Bajoghli, associate professor of Middle East Studies at the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University and co-author of, How Sanctions Work: Iran and the Impact of Economic Warfare.

    War on Iran: US evangelicals, Israeli Zionists cite holy war | UpFront

    The United States and Israel have often portrayed themselves as secular democracies fighting against a theocratic Islamic regime in Iran. But as the war against Iran continues to escalate, US leaders have spoken of a biblical duty to defend Israel, military commanders have referenced divine destiny, and Israeli leaders continue to cite biblical claims to territory. So why is this religious rhetoric resurfacing now? This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with author and Professor of American Studies and International Affairs at George Washington University Melani McAlister, and rabbi and Professor of Modern Jewish Studies at Harvard Divinity School Shaul Magid on what happens when faith, nationalism and politics collide on the global stage.

    John Mearsheimer: “We’re not going to win this war with Iran” | UpFront

    The United States has once again found itself drawn into a major conflict in the Middle East, this time with Iran. But a key question is now being debated: who pushed Washington into this conflict? Israel has played a central role in encouraging a confrontation with Tehran, warning that Iran poses an existential threat, and has urged Washington to take stronger action to stop its nuclear ambitions. But how much influence does Israel really have over US foreign policy, and did it help shape the decision to confront Iran militarily? This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with political scientist John Mearsheimer.
