    Episode 7: The Racial Muslim

    Episode 7: The Racial Muslim

    Religious bigotry in the U.S. racializes Muslims and Arabs – particularly those in immigrant communities. This week’s episode tackles an ongoing trend where racism quashes religious freedom. Host Sahar Aziz and longtime war correspondent and Princeton journalism Professor Deborah Amos discuss the groundbreaking phenomenon of “The Racial Muslim: When Racism Quashes Religious Freedom” through an historical and comparative approach that demonstrates how race and religion intersect.

    Episode 6: The 100 Years' War on Palestine

    This episode delves into one hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, while backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age. Host Sahar Aziz and this week’s guest, historian and distinguished Columbia University Professor Rashid Khalidi, will discuss the origins and consequences of this non stop aggression against the Palestinians – which is also the subject of his latest book: ”The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917-2017”.

    The political manipulation of coded racism, also known as dog whistle politics, has evolved in the aftermath of the Trump presidency. Host Sahar Aziz and Berkeley Law Professor Ian Haney López discuss how merging the struggles for racial justice and for shared economic prosperity builds solidarity across racial lines necessary for winning elections – which is also the subject of his latest book: "Merge Left: Fusing Race and Class, Winning Elections, and Saving America".

    Episode 02: Consistent Partiality: U.S. Foreign Policy on Palestine-Israel

    Episode 02: Consistent Partiality: U.S. Foreign Policy on Palestine-Israel

    Although the Biden administration talks about supporting democracy and human rights, it has maintained unconditional US support for Israel even as human rights organizations label it an apartheid state. What are the political and ideological foundations of America’s hostility to Palestinian freedom? And what would it take to change them? Does the US’s unconditional support for Israel serve America’s national interests?  Host Sahar Aziz addresses these questions with Professor Peter Beinart and human rights attorney Sarah Leah Whitson.
