    ‘An Ongoing Nakba’: How Israel, the Media, and the West Set the Stage for Gaza’s Genocide

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit zeteo.com When Western politicians are asked about Israel’s attacks on Gaza, they tend to start off by talking about October 7th. But as Palestinian foreign policy analyst and Zeteo Contributor Rula Jebreal writes in her new book, Israel’s actions are actually an extension of a decades-long campaign of violence against Palestinians. An ongoing Nakba, Rula writes. In this special episode of Unshocked, Rula joins Naomi Klein to discuss her new book, out in Europe and in Italian only (for now), “Genocidio: Quello Che Rimane Di Noi Nell'era Neo-Imperiale” (Genocide: What Is Left of Us in the Neo-Imperial Era). Rula’s book delves into Israel’s attacks on the United Nations, the Western media’s handling of the war, and her childhood experience of growing up in a Jerusalem orphanage. Rula wrote this book, she explains, because "Our memory is not written in history books. Our memories are written in refugee camps, on the walls and the streets... What remains of us in this moment is to document this history." Rula and Naomi also discuss what her book says about Europe’s response to Israel’s war on Gaza, and how it is intertwined with the crimes those countries committed during the Holocaust. “Europe tries to cleanse its guilt for genocide by offering blanket support to Israel and Zionism and that requires the dehumanization of Palestinians, which then leads to the ongoing genocide now,” Naomi says to Rula. “Not only are governments complicit – the Western media establishment created the consent, sadly, for genocide,” Rula says to Naomi. Paid subscribers can watch the full timely conversation between Rula and Naomi, including how people in Europe have reacted to Rula’s book so far. Free subscribers can watch a 12-minute preview.

    ‘It’s All About Shock and Awe’: Trump’s Plan to Distract, Overwhelm, and Deplete

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit zeteo.com In this episode of ‘Unshocked,’ Naomi and Mehdi discuss the first ten days of President Donald J. Trump’s second term and his intentional use of “shock and awe” tactics, with his administration issuing a seemingly endless series of draconian and contentious executive orders, including ending DEI in the government, freezing federal money and grants, and ordering ICE to raid migrant communities. Mehdi and Naomi also discuss why Trump and the tech oligarchs that surround him are not worried about “burning down” social programs, healthcare, the environment, or US institutions.

    The Case for BDS

    In this episode of ‘Unshocked,’ Mehdi and Naomi debunk the myths around the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) Movement – a nonviolent Palestinian-led movement that works to pressure Israel into complying with international law using some of the tactics of the South African ‘Anti-Apartheid Movement’.  Mehdi and Naomi also get into why the BDS Movement gets so much backlash in the United States; why Israel “gets a special pass” despite the US having a long history of sanctions; and they address the charges of anti-Semitism against BDS. They also discuss recent gains of the movement.  SUBSCRIBE TO ZETEO TO SUPPORT INDEPENDENT AND UNFILTERED JOURNALISM: https://zeteo.com/subscribe WATCH ‘UNSHOCKED’ ON SUBSTACK: https://zeteo.com/s/unshocked FIND ZETEO: Twitter: https://twitter.com/zeteo_news Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zeteonews TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zeteonews FIND NAOMI: Twitter: https://twitter.com/NaomiAKlein Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naomiaklein/ Naomi’s website: https://naomiklein.org/ FIND MEHDI: Substack: https://substack.com/@mehdirhasan Twitter: https://twitter.com/@mehdirhasan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/@mehdirhasan Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mehdirhasan ‘Unshocked’ is a monthly conversation with acclaimed author and activist Naomi Klein, where she and Mehdi pull viewers ‘out of shock’ through analysis, facts, and history.
