  • From Gaza to Iran: How Empire Manufactures War

    From Gaza to Iran: How Empire Manufactures War
    Jun 18 2025
    As Israel bombs Iran, and the threat of U.S. military escalation grows by the hour, the world’s attention is being pulled into yet another war that Israel started and the West manufactured. After flattening Gaza and locking down the West Bank Israel has now dragged Iran into open confrontation — and is calling on the U.S. to finish the job. Meanwhile, Trump is back in the headlines, promising not a ceasefire but a “real end” to Iran’s nuclear program — even hinting at direct U.S. strikes. But what’s really happening here? What does this moment mean for the people of Iran, the Iranian diaspora, for Palestinians, and for all of us fighting the empire from the belly of the beast? Today we’re joined by Hoda Katebi, an Iranian-American abolitionist organizer, writer, and educator whose voice cuts through the fog of war. Hoda’s work spans garment worker co-ops, anti-surveillance campaigns, radical book clubs, and mutual aid bailouts. She’s been featured in Vogue, cited in law journals, and published in Newsweek and Washington Post — all while helping build a movement rooted in dignity and decolonization. In this conversation, Hoda helps us unpack the current moment - from the media lies, colonial playbooks, and the very real dangers Iranians — and Palestinians — are facing right now. And she reminds us that the time to act isn’t later. It’s right now. - - - - - Support our work Help us continue our critical, independent coverage of events in Palestine, Israel, and related U.S. politics.

  • The Encampments Documentary: Student Uprising at Columbia with Co-Director Kei Pritsker

    The Encampments Documentary: Student Uprising at Columbia with Co-Director Kei Pritsker
    Apr 29 2025
    Yumna Patel speaks with Kei Pritsker, journalist at BreakThrough News and co-director of The Encampments — a powerful new documentary chronicling the peaceful student-led movement for Palestine in response to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Co-directed with Michael Workman and produced by BreakThrough News and Watermelon Pictures, the film offers an embedded look at the nonviolent protest that began at Columbia University and spread to more than 100 campuses across the U.S. In April 2024, Columbia students set up an encampment demanding the university divest from companies complicit in Israel’s assault on Gaza. Within days, riot police stormed the campus, arresting over 100 students — sparking a nationwide wave of encampments and escalating repression under then President Biden. The backlash was swift. Universities cracked down, police raided campuses, and media figures smeared students as radicals to deflect attention from the atrocities they were protesting against. The film follows organizers like Mahmoud Khalil, whose arrest by ICE under President Trump’s “Catch and Revoke” crackdown prompted the filmmakers to accelerate its release. Through months of on-the-ground footage, The Encampments captures not only the political urgency of what many are calling the student intifada, but a broader generational call to resist empire, genocide, and complicity. Students connected Palestine to climate justice, Indigenous sovereignty, and global anti-colonial movements — declaring, simply: Palestine is everywhere. - - - - - Support our work Help us continue our critical, independent coverage of events in Palestine, Israel, and related U.S. politics.

  • The Gaza Ceasefire Part 2: Trump and Israel’s plans

    The Gaza Ceasefire Part 2: Trump and Israel’s plans
    Feb 9 2025
    After nearly 16 months of genocide, Palestinians saw a long-awaited respite when a ceasefire was announced in mid-January. But while the bombs have stopped raining down on Gaza—for now—Israel’s attacks on Palestinians across occupied lands continue. With only 42 days of ceasefire guaranteed, Israeli politicians are already plotting their return to war while escalating settler and state violence in the West Bank. This is the second episode in a three-part series in collaboration with Mondoweiss and Al-Shabaka, the Palestine Policy Network, where we explore what happens next and what the future of Palestine looks like. We’ll dive into Hamas’s vision for the “day after” in Gaza, the Palestinian Authority’s struggle for power and legitimacy, and what Israel stands to gain—or lose—in the process. In this episode, we turn to Washington, where, in the third week of a fragile ceasefire, U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister—and wanted war criminal—Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House. As Israeli officials were preparing for ceasefire negotiations in Qatar, Trump and Netanyahu sent an entirely different message: Trump declared that the U.S. would "own Gaza" and turn it into the Riviera of the Middle East—a statement widely condemned as a call for ethnic cleansing. To unpack these statements, their deeper implications, and what they reveal about the future of Gaza, we’re joined by Palestinian human rights lawyer, analyst, and Al-Shabaka policy member, Diana Buttu.

  • One Year of Genocide: Diana Buttu on Israel’s Brutality and the Fight for Justice

    One Year of Genocide: Diana Buttu on Israel’s Brutality and the Fight for Justice
    Oct 11 2024
    Today’s episode was recorded just before the one-year anniversary of October 7th, the date marking the beginning of the most recent iteration of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza. Unfortunately, we missed the release date, but we still felt it was crucial to share this conversation as events continue to unfold. Since the recording, Israel has not only continued its brutal assault on Gaza but has also intensified its aggression in Lebanon, with hundreds killed and over a million people displaced as Israel prepares for a ground invasion. In this episode, I speak with Diana Buttu, who offers a powerful analysis of Israel’s colonial expansionist project, its use of propaganda, and its deliberate targeting of Palestinian civilians. Buttu also discusses the international community's inaction, particularly the U.S.'s role in enabling Israel's violence, and reflects on the sense of isolation and hopelessness felt by many Palestinians. She provides a deep dive into the internal dynamics of Israeli society, which supports and justifies these actions while offering little accountability for atrocities committed. Despite the devastating realities, Diana shares her thoughts on the importance of global solidarity and the hope for justice in the future.
