Rania Khalek Dispatches Rania Khalek

Israel’s war on Palestine isn’t limited to Gaza. It’s global. In the US it takes the form of censorship, bullying, intimidation, doxxing, accusations of antisemitism, attacking people’s livelihoods, and increasingly lobbying for the state to prosecute anyone who dares to stand up for the rights of Palestinians. But even in the face of all this, solidarity is growing across the US and around the globe.


To discuss this and more Nora Barrows-Friedman, staff writer and associate editor at The Electronic Intifada.

The Israelis and their US sponsors have created a world where it’s normal to fire on hospitals, journalists and UN workers while killing 5,500 children in 45 days. 

Rania Khalek will be joined by Prof.  As’ad Abukhalil for a special live episode of Dispatches to discuss the genocide in Gaza, western double standards and racism towards Palestinians, Israel’s bad propaganda, and growing resistance from the Middle East to the streets of the US.

This is a mask off moment for the imperialist West. All of the sociopathic narcissism that underpins the dystopian global order they created is on display for everyone to see. They have made a mockery of international humanitarian law and killed any pretense of the freedom and democracy they claim to represent. Meanwhile they turn inward to repress their own populations from protesting against Israel’s shocking aggression on Gaza. 


To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek was joined by Matteo Capasso, the Marie Curie Research Fellow at Columbia university and university of Venice Italy, Author of “Everyday politics in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya” and editor of Middle East Critique. His work focuses on the nature and impact of US-led imperialism.

Craig Mokhiber worked at the UN for three decades and recently resigned from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights over its failure to address what he called a “textbook case of genocide in Gaza.” He joined Rania Khalek to discuss what prompted him to leave when he did, the current Israeli assault on Gaza, the genocide label, challenges inside the UN on the issue of Palestine, and more.

To discuss the implications of Israel’s onslaught on global politics in an increasingly multipolar world, how the rift between the imperialist countries and the rest of the world has never been more stark, the US’s frightening reaction to the decline of American hegemony and what it means for Gaza and the rest of us, Rania Khalek was joined by Tarik Cyril Amar, a historian from Germany who is currently associate professor of history at Koc University in Istanbul.

So what’s new with the war in Ukraine? Is anyone winning? How will it impact the future of Europe and NATO? What are the similarities to the war on Gaza? How will escalation in the Middle East impact Ukraine? And how is the war on Gaza exposing all the hypocrisy of the EU in particular?
To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek was joined by prolific writer and author Wolfgang Streeck, Emeritus Director at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies
