Podcasts about Human rights

In this episode, we welcome Professor Ben Saul from the University of Sydney who is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms while Countering Terrorism, and his insights and experience are relevant to exploring the recent state visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog. What started as an invitation by the Australian government and The Zionist Federation of Australia to enhance solidarity in the wake of the deadly Bondi Beach terror attack has become a point of contention, with both warm welcomes from the vast majority of the Jewish community and angry protests on the streets of Sydney and Melbourne about Israeli actions in Gaza. Professor Saul talks about the recent amendments to laws around the protests; and the issue of criticism of Israel in the context of rising antisemitism and the challenge of ascertaining what is hate speech and what is a legitimate free speech.

Jedes Jahr kommen tausende Menschen zu den UN nach Genf, um über politische Verfolgung, Folter und Mord in ihrer Heimat zu berichten – und werden anschließend selbst bedroht und verfolgt. ARD-Korrespondentin Stefanie Dodt erzählt in dieser 11KM-Folge von einer Menschenrechtsverteidigerin aus Ostafrika, die seit ihrem Besuch bei den Vereinten Nationen in Genf um ihr Leben fürchtet. Stefanie erklärt, warum China in Genf so präsent ist – und wie ein geschwächtes UN-Menschenrechtssystem mehr und mehr an seine Grenzen stößt.

Benedict Spence, conservative commentator, and Baroness Claire Fox, independent peer and director of the Academy of Ideas, discuss how the ECHR is causing more illegal migrant hand-outs in court. High court judges ruled that the police seizure of asylum seekers' phones amounted to a violation of European Human Rights Law, in contravention of article eight of the European Convention on Human Rights. Article eight outlines the right to a private and family life. The phones were seized as the migrants came to the country, enabling the police to gather evidence about any contact between them and people smuggling gangs. So far, an average of £6,500 per person has been paid to compensate migrants. 70 migrants have been paid. It is feared the total bill could run into the millions, as more migrants who have had phones seized make claims. Reform MP Robert Jenrick called the decision to compensate boat migrants a ‘farce'. Also: proposals to ban social media for U16s - including a potential ban on virtual private networks, used to circumvent the Online Safety Act. The news that the Home Office doesn't know how many migrants are pretending to be children, The case of a Filipino migrant who was funded to change sex by the NHS - before being given the right to stay in the UK,And the think tank that has propelled Keir Starmer's rise to power - Labour Together - using a PR firm to smear journalists investigating their funding.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to deputy Minister of defence and Military Veterans, Bantu Holomisa about President Cyril Ramaphosa’s assertion during the State of the Nation Address that organised crime is the most immediate threat to South Africa’s democracy, society and economic development. They unpack the decision to deploy the SANDF to combat gang violence in the Western Cape and illegal mining in Gauteng, questioning whether military intervention is an effective crime-fighting tool or a dangerous blurring of lines between policing and defence, and reflecting on the legacy of Collins Khosa and the risks of potential human rights abuses. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In this powerful and deeply moving interview on Refocused Network, Shemaiah Reed sits down with Zolal Habibi — a fearless Iranian-American human rights activist with over 25 years of dedicated work amplifying the voiceless inside Iran.Zolal's story begins with profound personal loss: at a young age, she witnessed the regime murder her father, a respected writer and political dissident, during the horrific 1988 massacre of political prisoners. That tragedy ignited an unshakeable commitment — choosing not a medical career, but a lifelong path to bring freedom and justice to Iran.https://ncr-iran.org/She shares raw insights into:The pivotal role of women's leadership and empowerment in dismantling tyranny and misogynyThe current climate inside Iran: the opposition and resistance movements (at home and abroad), ongoing protests, and human rights realitiesIran's geopolitical threats: terrorism, warmongering, and nuclear ambitionsWhy the voices of political prisoners, dissidents, and freedom-seekers must be heard on the global stageAs someone rooted in both Iranian heritage and American perspective, Zolal bridges understanding in ways that resonate deeply — offering hope, clarity, and a vision for real change.This conversation is a reminder that one person's courage can ripple into movements that reshape nations. If stories of resilience, purpose, and fighting for what's right move you, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with human rights attorney and writer Sari Bashi about her new memoir, Upside-Down Love: A Memoir in Two Voices, came out in English in January. Upside-Down Love tells the story of how Sari, an Israeli-American human rights attorney, created a shared life with her husband, a Palestinian professor from Gaza who is based in the West Bank. Ahmed and Sari discuss Sari's experience of building and raising her Jewish-Palestinian family in the West Bank and the process of writing and publishing the memoir, which originally came out in Hebrew. They also talk about the moral and individual culpability of Jewish Israelis for genocide/warm crimes, the future of Israel/Palestine, and the state of human rights more broadly. Sari is a long-distance runner -- her relationship to freedom of movement is core to her human rights advocacy and a theme throughout the memoir --  and she and Ahmed, who is also a marathoner, discuss Sari's ultramarathons and the importance of running.  Sari Bashi is an internationally renowned human rights lawyer, the former program director of Human Rights Watch, the cofounder of the Israeli human rights organization Gisha, and the executive director of the Public Committee Against Torture-Israel (PCATI). She is a graduate of Yale Law School and has previously clerked on the Israeli Supreme Court. She has taught international humanitarian law at Yale Law School and Tel Aviv University. She has also been a Jerusalem correspondent for The Associated Press and has appeared on, and been interviewed by, major English-language outlets. She and Osama (a pseudonym) are married and living in the West Bank. Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine. He also currently serves on the board of the Independence Media Foundation. His work has been published in The Guardian, The London Review of Books, The Nation, and elsewhere. He earned a BA at the University of Pennsylvania and an MPP at Harvard University. You can follow Ahmed on Substack at: https://ahmedmoor.substack.com.  Original music by Jalal Yaquoub.

The bid by the Prime Minister's Office to strike the word "massacre" from a bill on October 7 commemorations, and Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar's claim that the term evokes "victimhood," has sparked outrage. Avi Dabush, CEO of Rabbis for Human Rights and a resident of Kibbutz Nirim in the Gaza periphery, told KAN's Naomi Segal that Zohar's comments and the revision of the bill's title show the disconnect of the leadership from Israelis, and underscore the need for change. Dabush was barricaded with his family in the safe room of his home during the October 7th terrorist onslaught and then displaced for nearly two years. He returned to Nirim this past summer.

Our first Outlook guest of the year says: I think we're very poor at educating our population about what our government does and what it doesn't do and what our rights are and what they aren't. Late last year he made headlines after a ruling, his case covered by multiple media sources, but the sensationalisation of how much he was awarded in damages became the clickbait detail, in the end letting the company off the hook from having to truly address their discriminatory attitudes and practices. So, in the end, is this truly a win for workers with disabilities or society as a whole? We discuss seven modalities of learning and the benefits of learning braille for the brain and for future career development as we begin the show, with our first guest of 2026 and January, for Braille Literacy Month and our conversation with all three of us and long-time friend, Erik Burggraaf. (Happy ending spoiler, he now has a rewarding job in the federal government only after years of fighting with employers to be given a chance to prove he could do the work.) This week on Outlook we're speaking with our friend about his recent human rights case, a lawsuit win and the media coverage that has followed from his success plus the parts that don't feel like success even still. So how do you know what a legitimate grievance is? How do you know that you have a human rights complaint? Our guest for this one will share his experiences filing human rights cases. It took nearly a decade but Erik was awarded a settlement after proving he was discriminated against when applying for work at a company unable to prove they had exhausted every possible option for making their in-house software accessible and inclusive. Erik Burggraaf shares how those in positions of authority but with no lived experience discouraged him from exploring his full potential and extensive variety of interests as a young person, how he felt he learned more about his own rights from briefly being in the States than all the rest of his life (up until that point) as a Canadian living in the country of his birth, and how he can't imagine what life would be like now if he were to lose the job he currently has helping other federal workers receive the accommodations they need to continue to do the work in the positions they hold. He happily imparts his own knowledge, wisdom, and experiences, hard earned, with us and our listeners.

Is Housing a Human Right? The City of Akron, OH had a meeting about housing, and we discuss some of the details of their meeting, including how they believe that "People deserve housing whether they can afford it or not, whether they can maintain it or not". We also talk about property taxes and how you can dispute them if the values are too high. We also cover how to move up in socioeconomic class by 1.) Taking Responsibility, 2.) Accept things how they are (not how you wish they were or think they should be), and 3.) Think long-term. The government keeps forcing charity, but when they do it, there is a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse. Charity is best when it is local.  Join us as we tackle these large topics in this show!

New court filings give an inside look at the conditions inside the Whipple federal building, where many ICE detainees are being held in Minnesota. Lawyers from the non profit organization, Advocates for Human Rights, visited the facility early Monday after a federal judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security to let them inside. In a lawsuit, the attorneys allege that DHS is not allowing detainees to have access to legal counsel.  Reporter Matt Sepic has been following this story and joined Minnesota Now.

"Mountains to Cross: Finding Life's Purpose in Service" by best-selling author Dr. Abraham M. George is a true story about lifting people up and changing the direction of someone's life. After a successful career as an entrepreneur in the United States, Dr. George returned to his homeland in India and created opportunities for the most disadvantaged children, providing education, healthcare, and opportunities where there were none. He established a rural hospital for 15 villages, helped to eliminate leaded gas in much of the region, and founded a school for socially and economically distressed kids, with many of them going on to have successful lives where they are now giving back. Dr. George has written three books and is the recipient of numerous awards for Human Rights. He has dedicated his life to service, justice, and education, and lives by his mantra, "purpose over comfort." We'll talk about that, because he wants to inspire others to step out of their comfort zone and do the same. Please find my full conversation with Dr. George on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

With talk of an early UK election swirling, Reform Deputy Leader Richard Tice joins Merryn Somerset Webb to make the case that his party is ready to govern. Tice argues that Reform UK, which is leading in the polls, is gearing up policy “working groups” and road-testing power in local councils. He claims day-one moves like serving notice to leave the European Commission on Human Rights, scrapping the Human Rights Act and abandoning a net-zero approach to global warming would help cut energy bills—while he hints at a broader reset for UK markets, pensions, regulation and crypto.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On January 2nd, 2026, Indonesia entered what officials are calling a "new era" of criminal justice. The country implemented a completely new Criminal code – KUHP - and a new Criminal Procedure Code—known as KUHAP—that changes what counts as a crime and how crimes are identified, investigated and punished. The government says this marks a shift toward "restorative justice" that prioritizes rehabilitation over punishment. Officials describe it as "more humane, modern, and just". But civil society groups are sounding the alarm. They're calling the new law "draconian and illiberal"—and potentially worse than the system it replaces. At the heart of the controversy: police can still arrest and detain people without a warrant and Amnesty International has identified 88 articles that could be used to silence critics and criminalize peaceful dissent. So which is it? A historic reform that modernises the Indonesian justice, or a step backward that gives authorities concerning new powers? In this episode, we're speaking with a legal expert who's been following this law since its drafting. Maidina Rahmawati has over 8 years of experience in criminal justice reform advocacy. She is a certified advocate/litigator and mediator, and currently serves as the Deputy Director of the Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (ICJR). Mai holds a Master of Laws from the University of New South Wales, specialising in Criminal Justice and Human Rights. She is newly appointed as a lecturer in Criminal Law and Human Rights at Atma Jaya University Jakarta and in Criminal Law in the undergraduate Criminology program at the University of Indonesia (UI).

Ethiopia: UN rights chief issues alert over ‘precarious' situation in Tigray In Sudan, sick and starving children are ‘wasting away': UNICEF, WHOCrypto is in but Least Developed Countries are missing out: UNCTAD

Nonprofit AI Check-in: Reclaiming Human Rights and Protecting Local CommunitiesIn this midweek check-in, Carolyn Woodard steps back from the technical "how-to" of AI to look at the "why" behind the ethical concerns many nonprofit leaders are feeling. This episode focuses on two significant areas where AI intersects with our core mission of serving others: the protection of basic human rights and the physical impact of the infrastructure that makes AI possible.First, we explore insights from human rights lawyer Malika Saada Saar on how we can reclaim AI to serve dignity and democracy rather than ceding it to companies that make a profit by exploiting sensitive and marginalized groups. Second, we look at the reality of the data centers powering these tools—specifically the environmental and economic pressures they place on local residents. Carolyn shares resources on creating Community Benefit Agreements (CBAs) with data centers as a path forward for local communities.Whether it's protecting a survivor's right to privacy or ensuring a local community has a say in how a data center is built, these are the human issues that will define how we use technology in the years to come.Featured ResourcesWebinar: Slow Violence, Fast Tech | Watch on YouTube In this 30-minute session from All Tech Is Human, human rights lawyer Malika Saada Saar discusses the "slow violence" of AI and how nonprofits can advocate for technology designed with consent and safety in mind, particularly for women, children, and marginalized communities.Report: Why Community Benefit Agreements are Necessary for Data Centers | Read at Brookings As data centers expand rapidly across the U.S., this Brookings Institution paper explains how "Community Benefit Agreements" (CBAs) can help local leaders and residents negotiate for transparency, environmental protections, and shared economic benefits.Community IT Resource: AI Ethics and Policy Webinar | View the Framework If you are ready to start moving from learning to doing, this webinar provides a practical framework for nonprofits to begin drafting their own AI use policies and start conversations around ethics.Next Step for Your OrganizationDoes your nonprofit have an AI ethics policy yet? If not, now is the perfect time to start the conversation with your leadership and board. You don't need to be a technical expert to advocate for your organization's values. We encourage you to use these resources to continue your education and ensure that your use of AI remains mission-aligned. _______________________________Start a conversation :) Register to attend a webinar in real time, and find all past transcripts at https://communityit.com/webinars/ email Carolyn at cwoodard@communityit.com on LinkedIn Thanks for listening.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Hong Kong media publisher Jimmy Lai being sentenced to 20 years in prison by a Chinese government-controlled court. They examine what this means for press freedom and human rights in Hong Kong, criticize the Carney government's muted response, and argue that Lai's imprisonment violates the 1997 Sino-British treaty guaranteeing democratic freedoms. They then explore Canada's reluctance to confront China's authoritarian actions and the costs of prioritizing trade relations over democratic principles.   The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.   Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go: https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)  https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify) Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=en   CREDITS: Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer  Elia Gross - Editor Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Chiang Ying-ying/AP Photo - Photo Credit    To contact us, sign up for updates, and access transcripts email support@thehub.ca

Beth Warner returns to share what the past year has looked like fighting pregnancy discrimination, building Mother Cover, and refusing to stay silent. She opens up about the human toll of a human rights case that could take 6+ years, why Europe's approach to NDAs needs to come to North America, and how she's channeling her experience into protecting other parents' jobs through workforce planning that actually works.In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(04:37) What keeps her going when everyone says "just move on"(08:29) Life update: 2 years into a human rights case with years still ahead(11:35) What needs to change: Why Canada should follow Europe's lead on NDAs(13:17) Signing away your voice vs. fighting back(16:55) Why the system isn't built for humans(22:33) How she stays in the fight (and why Mother Cover fuels her now)(26:36) What success looks like: Reaching the middle, not the extremes(28:36) Mother Cover: Parental leave coverage done right(32:13) Why workforce planning needs an update(39:06) What Mother Cover actually does (and why it's not recruiting)(42:13) Fractional leaves: Why senior professionals work better than junior backfills(55:20) What's next: More success stories, less legal drama(58:27) Beth's favorite Mother Cover story: Marketing strategy meets motherhood support(01:00:12) Motherhood with a 2-year-old while building a company(01:01:24) What she's still figuring out: Teaching Ruby that work isn't just paying for diapersKEY TAKEAWAYPolicy alone won't change corporate culture. Until companies plan for parental leaves the way they plan for seasonal staffing or economic shifts, parents will continue choosing between their careers and their families—or worse, losing both. The solution is treating temporary leave as the predictable workforce reality it's always been.Listen to episode 85 with Beth Wanner here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1oy00y6OD1CNA7BNaBCMeW?si=_IAhnbzMSuKoEB5AuWDyiQ About Beth WannerBeth is the founder of Mother Cover, a leave coverage agency that helps companies across the U.S. and Canada manage parental and temporary leave without disrupting business or careers.

The media mogul and prominent pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in prison in Hong Kong for national security offences. His family has described the sentence as ‘heartbreakingly cruel', given the 78-year-old's declining health. Lai was convicted in December on charges of sedition and conspiracy to collude with foreign forces, after pleading not guilty to all charges.

For the first time in history, multiple countries have jointly nominated a candidate for UN Secretary General. Earlier this week, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico endorsed Michelle Bachelet—a former president of Chile, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and a survivor of brutal repression under the Pinochet regime. The move is unprecedented—and potentially transformative. What does it signal about the race to replace António Guterres, and how soon might more rival candidates emerge? Anjali and Mark unpack what this coordinated nomination reveals about shifting power dynamics inside the UN. They then turn to the latest Epstein document dump, which has ensnared several prominent diplomats and sent shockwaves through the diplomatic world. Finally, they confront a looming institutional crisis: the UN's cash reserves are so depleted that even the viability of this year's UNGA is now being called into question.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 173-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 31,956 on turnover of $10.4-billion N-T. Cross-border effort leads to Taiwan fugitive's arrest in Philippines A 33-year-old Taiwanese fugitive has been arrested in Metro Manila following a joint operation between Philippine and Taiwanese authorities. The suspect, surnamed Chien (簡), had been on the run since August 2023, when an arrest warrant was issued by the Miaoli (苗栗) District Prosecutors Office on theft charges. Philippine immigration officials say Chien was also classified as an “undesirable (不受歡迎的) alien” after overstaying his temporary visitor visa. He is currently being held at a detention facility pending deportation. Since the start of 2025, officials have successfully tracked down and arrested 22 wanted Taiwanese fugitives in the Philippines through intelligence sharing and other forms of cooperation. Airport MRT to run 5 a.m. express train from Feb. 12-22 for LNY Taoyuan Airport MRT is adding an early morning express train service from Taipei Main Station to handle (應付) increased outbound travel over the Lunar New Year holiday. According to the operator, the train will run from February 12th to the 22nd … and depart at 5 AM … reaching Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 2 Station within 41 minutes. On the way, it will call at A3 New Taipei Industrial Park, A8 Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, and A12 Airport Terminal 1 stations — as usual for the express train. To support the service, Taipei Main and New Taipei Industrial Park stations will open earlier — at 4:30 AM. In-town check-in at Taipei Main will also be available at that time. While the other stations it stops at will open at 5 AM. Japan PM Party Secures Supermajority Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's governing party has secured a two-thirds supermajority in a parliamentary election. Takaichi told public broadcaster NHK later that she is ready to pursue (實行) policies to make Japan strong and prosperous. TV networks cited preliminary results from Sunday's vote in reporting that Takaichi's Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner won 352 seats in the 465-seat lower house. The huge jump from the previous parliament could allow Takaichi to make progress on a right-wing agenda that aims to boost Japan's economy and military capabilities as tensions grow with China and she tries to nurture ties with Washington.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports Venezuela Gov Releases Opposition Members from Prison Venezuela's government has released (釋放) several prominent opposition members from prison, including one of the closest allies of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado. These releases come as acting President Delcy Rodriguez faces pressure to free those detained for political reasons. The move follows a visit from representatives of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. On Sunday, Foro Penal confirmed the release of at least 30 people. Machado's ally Juan Pablo Guanipa, a former governor, and her attorney, Perkins Rocha, were among the released. The ruling party-controlled National Assembly is debating an amnesty bill that could lead to more releases. That was the I.C.R.T.

Under what circumstances might climate change lead to negative security outcomes? Over the past fifteen years, a rapidly growing applied field and research community on climate security has emerged. While much progress has been made, we still don’t have a clear understanding of why climate change might lead to violent conflict or humanitarian emergencies in some places and not others. Busby develops a novel argument – based on the combination of state capacity, political exclusion, and international assistance – to explain why climate leads to especially bad security outcomes in some places but not others. This argument is then demonstrated through application to case studies from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. This book will provide an informative resource for students and scholars of international relations and environmental studies, especially those working on security, conflict and climate change, on the emergent practice and study of this topic, and identifies where policy and research should be headed. [ dur: 38mins. ] Joshua Busby is a Professor of Public Affairs and a Distinguished Scholar at the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law. He is the author of State and Nature the effects of climate change on security and many other publications. With protests rocking Iran, how much are these protests historically consistent with the long history of protests in Iran. We explore this history in light of the new round of protests How much more violent has the Iran state been against protesters? [ dur: 20mins. ] Ervand Abrahamian is Professor Emeritus at City University of New York. He is the author of A History of Modern Iran and Inventing the Axis of Evil: The Truth About North Korea, Iran and Syria.

When people think of sit-ins, they think Greensboro. But the movement didn't start, or stop, there. This episode looks at how the 1960 Greensboro sit-ins inspired Atlanta's Black college students to challenge segregation in a city that called itself “too busy to hate.” From An Appeal for Human Rights to coordinated sit-ins across downtown, arrests under newly written laws, and the protests that landed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in jail. Atlanta's Student Movement reshaped the civil rights fight and even influenced a presidential election. Want to support this podcast?

Following Pope Leo's State of the World Address in January of 2026, the three American Cardinals who are also diocesan archbishops Cardinal Cupich (Archbishop of Chicago), Cardinal McElroy (Archbishop of Washington), and Cardinal Tobin (Archbishop of Newark)—in addition to Archbishop Broglio, the pastor of the US military—have been reminding the people of the United States that the American government is wrong to prop up the Venezuelan regime while sidelining its democratically elected leader, that it is wrong to withdraw aid from the global poor, that it is are wrong to covet Greenland and betray our NATO allies in a way that not only fails to oppose the ambitions of Putin and Xi Jin Ping but actually endorses their land-grabbing adventures. The United States is also wrong to use cruelty and chaos in the (otherwise lawful) enforcement of immigration rules. It's been a bad dream and difficult and disorienting to wake up from. Three professors from Sacred Heart University in Connecticut talk it over with me on Almost Good Catholics.

An interview with Katarína Ružičková from Amnesty International Slovakia about a joint project with Amnesty International Czech Republic supporting human rights education for children and young adults. The project was created by 18 teachers from the Czech Republic and 7 from Slovakia. Two students—participants in the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award—took on the challenge of facing Mr Bilal Zahid, the British Ambassador to Slovakia, in a special discipline. Culture tips include invitations to Fašiangy celebrations across the country.

Over the past several decades, many technologists and policy makers have sought out huge, disruptive shifts in thinking in almost every area of science, business and commerce in the hope that they'd help to drive innovation forward in giant leaps, one brilliant new idea at a time. But how successful has this been, and should we instead be focusing on a more gradual, incremental approach to innovation that's based on the steady upgrading of the systems we already have in place? In this episode, we're joined by Albert Fox-Cahn, a visiting professor at The Centre of Governance and Human Rights at Pembroke College, Cambridge, to talk about his latest book Move Slow and Upgrade – The Power of Incremental Innovation. He tells us why we tend to overemphasise the potential impact of the Next Big Thing, how this often leads to a rush to adopt unproven, and at times, unsafe new technologies, and how applying evidence-based thinking and an upgrader's mindset can help us to be more like the tortoise than the hare, and ultimately win the race.

Send us a textBeyond the Language of the Israel-Palestine 'Conflict' and the Unconscious Grammar of Genocidal Consent with Alex McDonaldOn this episode of Understanding Israel Palestine, a Beyond the Walls edition, we move beyond the kinetic warfare on the ground to examine the cognitive warfare in our own minds. We investigate the "deep structural politics" of language—the specific mechanisms used to manufacture consent and maintain an information blockade here in the West.Our guest suggests that we aren't just "misinformed"; we have been acculturated into a specific foreign policy dialect designed to obscure the structural realities of what we have been taught to call the Israel-Palestine "conflict." Jeremy Rothe-Kushel speaks with Alex McDonald, a researcher, co-founder of the Texas Coalition for Human Rights, and an educator working to correct the historical record in U.S. instructional materials. Alex brings the dual perspective of an analyst and a witness, having served on the Steering Committee of Voices From the Holy Land and as a volunteer on the Freedom Flotilla. He is the author of How I Learned to Speak Israel: An American's Guide to a Foreign Policy Language and When They Speak Israel: A Guide to Clarity in Conversations about Israel.This conversation serves as a primer and invitation for a vital upcoming event. On February 15th, Alex will lead the Voices From the Holy Land (VFHL) Online Film Salon, a workshop dedicated to decoding and dismantling this disinformation architecture.Links:Register for the VFHL Salon: Tinyurl.com/VFHL-February2026Alex McDonald's Work & Books: SpeakIsrael.infoUnderstanding Israel Palestine: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2016486Beyond the Walls: https://beyondthewalls.substack.com/Keywords: Israel-Palestine, Cognitive Warfare, Manufacturing Consent, Alex McDonald, Voices From the Holy Land, Gaza Genocide, Foreign Policy Language, Disinformation, Deep Politics, Freedom Flotilla, Educational Bias, How I Learned to Speak Israel.

"Operation Metro Surge" — the massive immigration enforcement operation playing out right now in Minnesota — was billed as a targeted effort to apprehend undocumented immigrants. But what it has exposed goes far beyond immigration enforcement. It has pulled back the curtain on a sprawling surveillance apparatus that incorporates artificial intelligence, facial recognition, and other novel tools — not just to enable the raids that have turned violent and, in some cases, deadly; but also to silence dissent, to intimidate entire communities, and to discourage people from even watching what masked federal agents are doing in their own neighborhoods.To discuss these events and the prospects for reform, Justin Hendrix spoke to Irna Landrum, a senior campaigner at Kairos Fellowship and author of a recent piece on Tech Policy Press, "How ICE Uses AI to Automate Authoritarianism," and Alejandra Montoya-Boyer, vice president for the Center for Civil Rights and Technology at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, which has called for reforms at the Department of Homeland Security and its component agencies.

In this powerful episode, cancer epidemiologist Dr. Robin Taylor Wilson unpacks the troubling rise of early-onset cancers and why ignoring symptoms can come at a devastating cost. The conversation goes far beyond individual risk, touching on the public's right to access science, what years of PFAS research are revealing about everyday chemical exposures, and why cutting cancer surveillance funding now would be a dangerous mistake. From student activism and misinformation to surprising data on trust in scientists, this episode is a timely reminder of what's at stake when science, policy, and public health collide.   Resources ▶️ Join the PHEC Podcast Community ▶️ Visit the PHEC Podcast Show Notes ▶️ DrCHHuntley, Public Health & Epidemiology Consulting  

Dr. Kari Johnstone joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they discuss how traffickers adapt fast, moving money, victims, and exploitation through digital systems most of us interact with every day, examining whether our institutions are adapting fast enough to protect victims without them risking everything to testify.Dr. Kari JohnstoneDr. Kari Johnstone is the OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings, representing the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe at the political level on human trafficking issues and coordinating anti-trafficking efforts across the OSCE region. Before joining the OSCE, Dr. Johnstone spent nearly a decade (2014-2023) as Senior Official, Acting Director, and Principal Deputy Director of the U.S. Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (J/TIP), where she advised senior leadership on global trafficking policy and programming and oversaw the annual Trafficking in Persons Report. Her extensive U.S. government service also includes senior roles in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. Dr. Johnstone holds a B.A. from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley.Key PointsThe OSCE survey revealed a 17-fold increase in forced criminality cases over five years across the 57 member states, making it the fastest growing form of human trafficking globally.Forced scamming, which originated in Southeast Asia, is now being exported to other regions as criminals adopt this lucrative business model that exploits victims with brutal tactics to defraud others.Technology and artificial intelligence present both challenges and opportunities in combating trafficking, allowing law enforcement to process data more quickly to find victims and perpetrators while also being misused by traffickers for recruitment and exploitation.Financial intelligence and following the money can supplement or even replace victim testimony in prosecutions, reducing the burden on survivors and providing effective pathways to convict traffickers.The non-punishment principle remains woefully inadequate in practice worldwide, with victims often arrested, prosecuted, and convicted for crimes directly related to their trafficking experience, creating lifelong consequences that prevent access to housing, employment, and stability.The United States leads globally on criminal record relief for trafficking survivors, with 48-49 states having vacature or expungement laws and new federal legislation (Trafficking Survivor Relief Act) awaiting presidential signature, though much work remains worldwide.Victim assistance must be unlinked from the criminal justice process, allowing survivors to receive care and services first before deciding whether to cooperate with law enforcement, which actually increases the likelihood they will come forward and participate.The demographics of trafficking victims are shifting beyond stereotypes, with forced scamming targeting educated individuals with IT and language skills, while forced criminality increasingly exploits younger children, including those under age 10, for drug-related crimes and violence.ResourcesOrganization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)OSCE Office of the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human BeingsProtocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons (UN Palermo Protocol)UN Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in PersonsU.S. State Department Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in PersonsTrafficking in Persons ReportTrafficking Survivors Relief ActEnding Human Trafficking PodcastTranscriptTranscript will be here when available.

Many of the images that have been seen from Israel’s war in Gaza have already been seen for the last time. With Gaza under siege from the Israeli military and tech companies censoring and taking down material, the responsibility falls on the people of Gaza to document and archive their own evidence of war crimes and genocide. How will it survive? This is a story from the archives. This originally aired on April 11, 2025. None of the dates, titles or other references from that time have been changed.
