    Three Years of Genocide: What Gaza Has Exposed | Palestine This Week

    On the third anniversary of 7 October, we look back on three years of the Gaza genocide. We ask what the genocide has revealed about Israel, about the Western powers that have backed it, and about the international system that has failed to stop it. We also ask what these three years mean for Palestinians and their struggle against apartheid.

    9/11 at 25 — Why Israel Fuels Islamophobia | Palestine This Week

    In this episode we speak to Muhammed Shehada about his clash with the Board of Peace and his concern that it is burying evidence of genocide in Gaza. We unpack revelations in the Haaretz that Benjamin Netanyahu was warned in advance of the 7 October attack. Marking twenty-five years since 9/11, we look at how the War on Terror emboldened Israel, and at the rise in Islamophobia since — fuelled by Israel-linked groups working in alliance with the far right. We close on Britain’s sanctions against Israeli settlement products, the ferocity of the backlash, and how easily measures like this can be circumvented.
