The Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg was built to educate Canadians about stories of global injustice. Yet in the more than 10 years since it opened, it has not meaningfully acknowledged the dispossession of Palestinians in 1948 that resulted from the founding of Israel. But now the CMHR has announced an exhibit titled Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present to launch next year. Jonah Corne is an associate professor in the department of English, Theatre, Film and Media at the University of Manitoba. He joined us in December 2025 to talk about the significance of this move.

While the atrocities in Palestine and Gaza have been live-streamed by courageous on-the-ground journalists, American legacy media have operated in an entirely different reality. Dr. Andersen details how establishment journalism has actively abandoned baseline standards of accuracy and fairness to echo fabricated atrocity propaganda and shield the state of Israel from accountability.In this interview, we break down the explicit mechanics of this media complicity:The New York Times Bureau Bias: How the "paper of record" has historically staffed its Jerusalem bureau with known Zionists and activists whose families actively serve in the IDF. We discuss the biostructural compromise of the bureau physically operating out of a home stolen from a Palestinian family during the Nakba.Leaked Style Guides & Directives: A look into the newsroom directives leaked to The Intercept that formally banned journalists from using core factual terms like "occupied territories," "refugee camps," "massacre," or "genocide".Weaponized Passive Voice: How headlines use phrases like "aid-related deaths" or "explosions" to describe situations where Israeli soldiers actively shot starving civilians or bombed densely populated neighborhoods like Jabalia.Billionaire Capture & Digital Suppression: The chilling effects of doxxing groups like the Canary Mission on university campuses, and the corporate takeover of networks like CBS by tech moguls implementing top-down Zionist editorial overrides.Dr. Robin Andersen's book, The Complicit Lens, features an introduction by Rashid Khalidi and is available now directly from OR Books.Like, subscribe, drop a comment, and protect your peace.

Yousef continues to discuss the passports and travel documents of the Palestinians after the Nakba, this week focusing on the Palestinians who fled to Iraq. He explains the massacres and events that caused the flight and the situations of the Palestinians in Iraq as the political and economic landscape of the country evolved from the 1950s to the 1990s.Music: Tarab Ensemble read Eleven Planets Since the Last Andalusian Scene, a poem by Mahmoud Darwish, performed at the Brunswick Ballroom.Image: All-Palestine Government Passport (2016) by وسام زقوت, CC BY-SA 4.0

The old solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict don't seem to fit the present reality. A two-state solution feels increasingly impossible, given the scale of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the Palestinian determination for a right of return. And a one-state solution, in which Israelis and Palestinians would live as equal citizens in a single state, is hard to imagine, given how strongly both peoples seek political self-determination. But what if those aren't the only options? A Land for All is an Israeli-Palestinian initiative that is proposing a confederation model: two sovereign states, structured to allow freedom of movement between them. It's a theory of peace based on neither separation nor unification. It holds, first, that both peoples have a relationship to and claim on all the land and, second, that both peoples want to control their own political destinies. I have been — and am — skeptical of solutions to a conflict that is so devoid of the political conditions for a settlement. But even if you're far from your destination, it's worth knowing where it is you hope to go. So could this be an answer for both peoples? How would it handle the problems that have bedeviled previous solutions, from security and violence to religious extremism? Rula Hardal and May Pundak are the executive directors of A Land for All. Hardal is a Palestinian citizen of Israel who received her doctorate in political science from the University of Hannover in Germany, and Pundak is an Israeli lawyer, activist and social entrepreneur. They joined me to explain how A Land for All would work and why they think it might succeed where so much else has failed.

There's been a major new development in the controversy surrounding the Canadian Museum for Human Rights' new Nakba exhibit. Canada's Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Mark Miller, toured the exhibit before the show opened last weekend, and has now publicly criticized some of what he saw. In an interview published Monday June 29 by The Canadian Press, Miller said some wording “should be rectified”, and suggested that the museum's board should have been shown the exhibit before it opened. He also said it was a “failure” that curators chose not to describe Hamas as a terrorist organization, or state that Jewish Israelis were targeted during the Oct. 7 attacks. The museum told The CJN it stands by its word choices, but has sent Miller's concerns to its curation team, which has a content revision process. Before the minister's comments became public, The CJN's Izzie Helenchilde travelled to Winnipeg as one of the journalists invited inside the exhibit Friday,June 26 for a media preview. On this episode of “North Star”, she joins host Ellin Bessner to describe exactly what she saw and whether the exhibit matched the controversy that's been surrounding it. You'll also hear from some of the people she interviewed: the Museum's CEO Isha Khan; Fouad Sahyoun, a Palestinian Canadian whose experience is one of the few video testimonials in the exhibit; Gail Asper, whose family founded the museum; and Rabbi Yosef Benarroch, just retired as spiritual leader of Winnipeg's Adas Yeshurun Herzlia synagogue.

Mark Berlin initially supported the Canadian Museum for Human Rights creating a Nakba exhibit on the experiences of Palestinian Canadians displaced during the Israel War of Independence in 1948. But the Ottawa human rights lawyer and professor who served for years as the only Jewish member on the Winnipeg museum's board of trustees, resigned abruptly on Monday June 22. His letter was sent just days before the controversial exhibit is scheduled to open this weekend. Berlin says he spent months in a fruitless effort to push the museum from the inside to tell a more complete story. He alleges that the museum never showed the board any of the exhibit's content materials. He fears the Nakba exhibit, which opens June 27, will be a one-sided, anti-Israel “ideologically political-oriented story”, which he calls “curation by omission”. The museum website exhibit material blames the Israeli military for the expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians, but doesn't give any wider context that five Arab countries invaded the fledgling Jewish State at the time. Museum officials tell The CJN that while the board was not given specific details of exhibit wording, photos and the like, trustees have been “regularly briefed” since 2021, “with a high-level overview of the schematic design and interpretive plan for the exhibit, as well as with reports on how the Museum was managing its relationships and risks. There were lengthy conversations on these matters.” Berlin also decried what he calls an “institutional anti-Zionism bias” at the museum, not just with this exhibit but he cites numerous examples including anti-Israel messages on public display inside the building, and on social media channels, and pro-Palestinian protesters permitted to do a die-in after Oct. 7 while Jewish groups were denied a chance to hold a similar event. Prominent Canadian Jewish community leaders and philanthropists were invited to the museum recently for a meeting to discuss the exhibit, but Berlin and a second source described what happened May 13 as “egregiously, outrageously dismissive of us”. On today's episode of The CJN's flagship podcast North Star, host Ellin Bessner sits down with Berlin for his first broadcast interview to hear what he's experienced these past two plus years that made him realize it was time to leave. They also talk about what he wants the federal Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture to do next.

Yousef shares a collection of stories, poetry and music of resistance, including the story of Palestinian prisoner Abdul Karim and poems by Najib Al-Rayyes, Mahmoud Darwish and Tawfiq Ziad, many of which are connected to the television drama show, With My Own Eyes. Abdul Karim is a Palestinian who was imprisoned for 25 years by the Israeli Occupation Forces and engaged in biopolitical resistance during his imprisonment. He was recently released and able to rejoin his family. Najib Al-Rayyes was a Syrian lawyer who peacefully resisted the French colonisation of Syria and was imprisoned for it. There, he wrote the poem, The Darkness of Prison, which later became a freedom chant across Arab countries resisting colonialism in the first half of the 20th century. After the Nakba, it became the anthem of the Palestinian prisoner movement and was later turned into a song, which was remade for With My Own Eyes. Yousef also presents the poems Earth Poem by Mahmoud Darwish and Here We Shall Stay by Tawfiq Ziad, as well as music from Palestinian band Al-Shiqin, and Tarab Ensemble, in collaboration with the Victorian Trade Union Choir.Thank you again to everyone who donated during Radiothon 2026! Image: Mahmoud Darwish, Palestinian National Poet (2023) by Amitabh Mitra/Shubhoshreemitra, CC BY-SA 4.0

A formal legal demand letter had been sent to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) over its upcoming “Nakba” exhibit, “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present.” There are broad concerns that the exhibit promotes a one-sided, historically inaccurate Palestinian Arab narrative that delegitimizes Israel, erases Jewish history, and risks inciting antisemitism. Even incitement to violence with slogans by some of its proponents to eliminate the Zionist disease. It calls on the museum to pause the exhibit, ensure balance, and comply with its mandate as a publicly funded human rights institution. Don James is CEO of Bridges for Peace Canada, in Winnipeg – the epicenter of this threat – and explains what happened and what needs to happen.Reach Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture Marc Miller at marc.miller@parl.gc.ca, and Canadian Museum for Human Rights CEO Isha Kahn at isha.khan@humanrights.ca, and bnycum@nycum.com.

Historian, author and Britain Palestine Project patron William Dalrymple opens the Recognition is the Beginning conference with a sweeping exploration of Palestinian history, identity and Britain's historic role in the region.Drawing on archaeology, genetics, historical records and personal testimony, Dalrymple challenges narratives that deny Palestinian continuity and traces the story of Palestine from the Bronze Age to the present day. Beginning with the story of the village of Isdud (modern-day Ashdod), he examines how communities endured for millennia before being displaced during the Nakba of 1948.The keynote explores:The historical continuity of Palestinian communities over more than 3,000 years.Archaeological and genetic evidence linking modern Palestinians to ancient Levantine populations.The shared ancestral heritage of Palestinians and many Israeli Jews.The origins and enduring history of the name “Palestine” from the Bronze Age to today.Palestine's role as a centre of trade, culture, religion and scholarship throughout antiquity and the medieval world.The impact of the Balfour Declaration and the British Mandate on Palestinian self-determination.Britain's historic and contemporary responsibilities regarding Palestine.Why recognition of Palestine is only a starting point and must be accompanied by meaningful action.Dalrymple argues that understanding the depth of Palestinian history is essential to understanding the present crisis and to building a future based on justice, accountability and equal rights. He concludes by reflecting on the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and the importance of transforming recognition into practical support for Palestinian self-determination.This keynote was recorded at the Britain Palestine Project annual conference, Recognition is the Beginning, held at the Greenwood Theatre, London, on 2 June 2026.William Dalrymple is an award-winning historian, broadcaster and bestselling author whose books include The Anarchy, The Last Mughal, White Mughals and From the Holy Mountain. He is co-host of the hugely popular Empire podcast and a patron of the Britain Palestine Project. His current research focuses on the history of Palestine from the Neolithic period to the Nakba.

Renowned historian Professor Avi Shlaim examines Britain's historic role in Palestine, the legacy of the Balfour Declaration, and the continuing impact of British policy on Palestinian self-determination.Tracing the roots of the conflict through the late Ottoman period, the British Mandate and the creation of Israel, Shlaim argues that Britain played a central role in shaping the political conditions that led to the dispossession of Palestinians and continues to bear responsibility for the consequences today.The talk explores:Britain's role in supporting the Zionist movement during the Mandate period.The significance and legacy of the 1917 Balfour Declaration.The suppression of Palestinian political representation and resistance under British rule.The Palestinian Revolt of 1936–39 and its long-term consequences.The Nakba of 1948 as part of a broader historical process rather than a single event.The work of the Britain Owes Palestine campaign and its efforts to seek acknowledgement, accountability and reparations from the British government.Britain's contemporary political, military and diplomatic relationship with Israel.The destruction of civilian, educational and cultural infrastructure in Gaza.Ongoing debates around international law, accountability and the recognition of Palestinian statehood.Professor Shlaim reflects on more than a century of British involvement in Palestine and argues that meaningful recognition of Palestinian rights requires more than symbolic gestures. He contends that acknowledgement of historical responsibility must be accompanied by practical political action and a commitment to accountability.Recorded at the Britain Palestine Project annual conference, Recognition is the Beginning, held at the Greenwood Theatre, London, on 2 June 2026.Professor Avi Shlaim is Emeritus Professor of International Relations at the University of Oxford and one of Israel's leading "New Historians".

He is the author of numerous influential works, including The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World, Three Worlds: Memoirs of an Arab-Jew and Genocide in Gaza: Israel's Long War on Palestine.

Dr Anne Irfan argues that recognition of Palestine must extend beyond the territory of the West Bank and Gaza to include the rights, experiences and political agency of Palestinians worldwide, particularly the millions living as refugees.Drawing on historical research into Palestinian displacement, refugee camps and the history of UNRWA, Dr Irfan explores how the Nakba continues not only through the loss of land, but also through efforts to fragment Palestinian identity and marginalise Palestinian voices in international discourse.The session explores:Why recognition of Palestine should include recognition of all Palestinians, including refugees and diaspora communities.The concept of the Nakba as an ongoing process rather than a single historical event.The displacement of Palestinians during 1948 and the creation of one of the world's largest refugee populations.The importance of the right of return and its place in international law and Palestinian political identity.Early international responses to Palestinian refugees and the ways in which Palestinian identity was often obscured or depoliticised.The history of Palestinian refugee camps as centres of political organisation, community life and national consciousness.The origins and evolution of UNRWA and its relationship with Palestinian refugee communities.Palestinian resistance to efforts aimed at permanent resettlement outside Palestine.The central role of education in Palestinian refugee communities and national identity.Contemporary refugee activism, including campaigns centred on the right of return and solidarity across the Palestinian diaspora.Dr Irfan highlights the ways in which Palestinian refugees have consistently asserted their political agency, challenged attempts to erase their identity and maintained connections to Palestine across generations. She argues that refugee communities have played a central role in shaping Palestinian political history and continue to do so today.The presentation concludes by examining the relevance of refugee history to current events in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, and by arguing that meaningful recognition must encompass the full Palestinian people, wherever they live.Recorded at the Britain Palestine Project annual conference, Recognition is the Beginning, held at the Greenwood Theatre, London, on 2 June 2026.Dr Anne Irfan is a historian of the modern Middle East and Lecturer in Interdisciplinary Race, Gender and Postcolonial Studies at University College London.

Journalist and commentator Max Rodenbeck examines shifting attitudes towards Palestine and Israel across the United States, Europe, the Arab world and Jewish communities internationally. Drawing on recent polling, media coverage and political developments, he explores how public understanding of the conflict has evolved and what challenges remain in translating opinion into political action.The session explores:Major shifts in public opinion on Palestine and Israel since 2023.Recent developments in the United States and changing attitudes within political, media and cultural circles.The role of media coverage and high-profile political controversies in shaping public perceptions.Changes in public opinion across Europe, including Germany and Italy.Growing international awareness of concepts such as the Nakba and public debates surrounding Israeli government policies.Global polling data measuring perceptions of Israel and wider international attitudes towards the conflict.Trends within American public opinion, including generational and political differences.Public opinion across the Arab world and the broader regional impact of the war in Gaza.Evolving attitudes among Jewish communities, particularly in the United States.The gap between public opinion and political decision-making in democratic systems.Rodenbeck argues that public understanding of Palestine has broadened significantly, with issues that were once confined to specialist discussions now entering mainstream political and cultural debate. He highlights the growing visibility of Palestinian narratives and the increasing scrutiny being applied to government policies and international responses.At the same time, he cautions that changes in public opinion do not automatically translate into political action. While polling suggests significant shifts in attitudes across multiple countries, he notes that political influence, institutional power and policymaking often move much more slowly than public sentiment.The presentation concludes with a discussion of the challenges facing campaigners, advocates and policymakers seeking to turn changing public awareness into meaningful political change.Recorded at the Britain Palestine Project annual conference, Recognition is the Beginning, held at the Greenwood Theatre, London, on 2 June 2026.Max Rodenbeck is a journalist, author and former Middle East correspondent and bureau chief for The Economist.

In this latest episode of Biographers in Conversation, Dr Micaela Sahhar chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about her choices while crafting Find Me at the Jaffa Gate: An Encyclopaedia of a Palestinian Family. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: The death of Micaela Sahhar's grandmother's last surviving sister created a sense of urgency for Micaela to capture her Palestinian family's stories before they slipped beyond living memory. With many primary sources destroyed in the 1948 Nakba, Micaela learned to read absence as a form of evidence, drawing on object memory, fragments, photographs, and ephemeral archives to reconstruct what official records could not. Micaela's grandfather's late-life oral history tapes were a vital source of historical and family information. They looped between present and past, between stories and digressions and became a structural model for the encyclopaedic, non-linear form of Find Me at the Jaffa Gate. In 2023, Micaela visited Jerusalem to retrace her family's footsteps through the Old City. She recalls that walking the actual terrain, up hills, distances and ordinary neighbourhoods, brought a present-tense vividness to the story. Find Me at the Jaffa Gate is structured as a 48-entry encyclopaedia spanning four generations of Micaela's Palestinian family, from the streets of Jerusalem and Bethlehem to the Palestinian community of Melbourne.

For Palestinians, their memories are of dispossession and displacement. Beginning in late 1947, months before the official creation of the Jewish state, Jewish forces expelled Palestinian Arabs and destroyed their homes and villages. By the time the Nakba, which means catastrophe in Arabic, was over, some 750,000 Palestinians had been expelled in one of the first ethnic cleansing operations of the post-WWII era. Yet it took generations for this story to receive the attention it deserves — an alarming erasure because today's conflict cannot be understood without this "other half" of Israel's origin story.

Send us Fan MailThe Architecture of Empire: Walter L. Hixson on the Israel Lobby and the Machinery of Endless WarPart Two: The Nakba's Blast Radius and the Capture of U.S. Foreign PolicyEpisode DescriptionSeventy-eight years ago, the Nakba dismantled Palestinian society. Today, we are living inside its blast radius.What began in 1948 with the violent mass displacement of over 700,000 people has metastasized into a sprawling, multi-front geopolitical fire. We are now watching the Middle East get swallowed by a disastrous and widely rejected regional war with Iran—a conflict fueled by corrupt demagogues desperate to trade human lives for their own political survival.How does a republic repeatedly bankrupt its moral standing and its treasury to underwrite conflicts its citizens actively despise? It doesn't happen by accident. It is engineered.In Part Two of our historical deep-dive into the U.S.-Israel Special Relationship, host Jeremy Rothe-Kushel reaches back to a profoundly relevant late-2021 conversation with diplomatic and cultural historian Walter L. Hixson.Stripping away the polite fictions of Washington double-speak, Hixson exposes the actual plumbing of imperial power. We break down the modern Israel lobby in plain daylight: the massive flow of capital, the ruthless political coercion, and the organized infrastructure of silence that captures U.S. foreign policy and locks the American public into a perpetual cycle of militarism and repression.If we are ever going to extinguish the fire, we must first understand exactly who built the furnace.

Cúpla FocalI often quote the late Seán Mac Goill. Seán was one of the visionaries who gave us the new Bombay Street after the pogroms of 1969, the urban Gaeltacht on Bóthar Seoighe, The Andersonstown News and many other outstanding projects going back to the 1960s. Seán and his peers and their families were immersed in the Irish language and the wider cultural revolution across Belfast. It was they who laid the foundations for today's revival and successes. Seán's name is immortalised in the Gael Ionad Mhic Gioll in Ballymurphy, home of Glór na Móna, the outstanding Irish language organisation. Britain's shameful role in the NakbaOn May 15 Palestinians across Palestine and throughout their diaspora commemorate the ‘Nakba' or the ‘catastrophe' of 1948. In that year Zionist militias commenced a systematic assault on Palestinian towns and villages creating fear and displacement. Massacres occurred daily and in a short time 800,000 Palestinians became refugees in their own place. The Nakba is ongoing. It is taking place now in the west Bank, in Lebanon and in the Gaza Strip.Fianna Fáil – A centenary of failureLast Saturday the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis in Dublin marked the centenary of that party. At its foundation in 1926 meeting it was agreed that the party would be titled ‘Fianna Fáil – The Republican Party.'Its principal aim was defined as ‘Securing the political independence of a United Ireland as a republic.'That was the basis on which Fianna Fáil first entered government in 1932. But in the decades to follow nothing was done to advance that aim. On the contrary when in government every effort was made to thwart unity, including through the imprisonment and execution of republican political prisoners and the abandonment of nationalists living in the North under an apartheid unionist regime.

Am 15. Mai haben wir an den 78. Jahrestag der Nakba gedacht. „Nakba“ bedeutet auf Deutsch Katastrophe und erinnert an die Vertreibung der über 750.000 Palästinenser – mehr als die Hälfte der gesamten damaligen palästinensischen Bevölkerung – aus ihren Häusern und von ihrem Land. Es ist unfassbar, dass wir heute, 78 Jahre später, Zeugen einerWeiterlesen

On May 15, Palestinians commemorated the Nakba ("catastrophe" in Arabic), referring to the forced exodus of Palestinians during the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. Around the same time, Israelis celebrated what they call the "reunification of Jerusalem" in 1967, meaning the occupation and then annexation of the Palestinian part of the city. One land, two historical narratives. Is it still possible to reconcile them? FRANCE 24's Claire Duhamel and Amira Souilem report.

And Another Thing with Dave, by Dave SmithWarning: This episode contains strong opinions and controversial historical interpretations. Listener discretion advised.In this no-holds-barred episode of And Another Thing with Dave, host Dave Smith dives deep into hidden symbolism, historical revisionism, and what he sees as coordinated global power plays.Dave starts with the striking blue-and-white color scheme on Epstein's Little St. James island and its connections to national flags, then explores how symbolism shapes narratives — from the ancient swastika's transformation to alleged false-flag incidents. He discusses the push for American unity against foreign influence (referencing Nick Fuentes), protecting children from school indoctrination, and fighting back through local politics like school boards and city councils.The conversation goes full throttle into:The founding of Israel, the Nakba, Irgun/Haganah terrorism, and recommended Al Jazeera documentaries (Tantura and October 7th – A Forensic Investigation)Epstein files, Pizzagate, Podesta art, and elite connectionsClaims about Trump's ties to Chabad-Lubavitch, “Jewish president” comments, and carrying out larger agendasArgentina & Chile wildfires allegedly started by Israeli groups to exploit land loopholes, Hitler's escape to Argentina, and the Samson OptionCIA/Mossad operations, weather warfare (Operation Popeye), Middle East interventions, and resource controlCritiques of media narratives, false flags, and the idea of a “Zionist-occupied government” pitting Christians and Muslims against each otherRaw, passionate, and heavily conspiratorial, Dave urges listeners to research primary sources, question official stories, and wake up to what he believes is an existential threat to national sovereignty.#EpsteinIsland #BlueWhiteFlag #Zionist #Nakba #Tantura #SamsonOption #ArgentinaWildfires #ZionistOccupiedGovernment #AndAnotherThing #DaveSmith #CulturalMarxism #FalseFlags #Pizzagate #NickFuentes #WeimarAmerica #WakeUp #Conspiracy #GreatestAlly #aatwd #AATWD #andanotherthing

Josh opens the show breaking down the high-stakes Kentucky primary as anti-Trump Congressman Thomas Massie faces off against Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallen. Josh explains what a Massie victory would mean for President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, while also sounding the alarm over polls showing the president sitting under 40% in key numbers. Josh also reacts to comments from California Governor Gavin Newsom about a potential “break the glass” scenario if two Republicans advance in California’s governor primary, exposing just how panicked Democrats are becoming about losing control. Plus, Josh takes aim at remarks from New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani regarding a famous quote from President Ronald Reagan. While Josh says he doesn’t fully agree with Reagan’s quote in today’s economy, he argues Mamdani is completely detached from reality for claiming hard-working Americans can’t still get ahead. Josh also exposes the outrageous ways New York City is spending taxpayer dollars, dives into the true meaning behind “Nakba,” and explains why the release of a recent propaganda video should outrage every American.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Trump's star-studded trip to China delivered zero results—breaking down how Beijing no longer needs the US, the real stakes behind Taiwan and the Strait of Hormuz, and the collapse of American sanctions power. Plus, the 78th anniversary of the Nakba: the 1948 ethnic cleansing of over 900,000 Palestinians; the destruction of 531 villages; and how the same genocidal tactics are being repeated in Gaza today.My livestreams are on Mon and Fri at 3pm ET/Noon PT and Wednesday at 8pm ET/5pm PT.

This week on SUNDAY WIRE returns with host Patrick Henningsen, covering the biggest stories in the US and internationally. This week we can confirm reports that Israel has ordered Trump to resume the illegal war on Iran this week, coming at a time where the war has already wrecked the global economy. All this coming after a humiliating visit by Trump and his massive entourage to China. Also, this weekend saw two opposing demonstrations in London on the same day – the Palestinian 78th commemoration of the "Nakba" – when Israeli settlers massacred and ethnically cleansed the native Palestinian population in 1948), and Tommy Robinson's "Unite the Kingdom" anti-Muslim rally, will most of Robinson's followers adorned with the English flag with its cross of St. George symbol alongside the Israeli flag – while completely unaware that England's patron saint was in fact… a Palestinian. We'll discuss this controversial topic. Later in the Overdrive segment, we're joined by teammates Bryan "Hesher" McClain, Adam "Ruckus" Clark, and Basil Valentine for deeper comment and analysis on this week's earth-shaking geopolitical development. All this and more on this week's show.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, need any more proof that the Iranian Regime needs to be taken out? A suspected terrorist commander linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the terror group Khalib Hezbollah, was arrested in Turkey and brought to New York City federal court. He is accused of directing or plotting nearly 20 attacks across Europe and Canada in response to the Iran conflict. Prosecutors say he urged killing Americans and Jews to punish U.S. and Israeli interests. How can anyone seriously think we can manage the Iranian regime for the next 20 years? They have got to go! Meanwhile, a global network of about 425 organizations—including communist groups, Muslim advocacy organizations, and anti-Israel coalitions with a combined $1 billion in annual revenues—is coordinating 736 "Nakba 78" protests across 39 countries this weekend to mark the 78th anniversary of Israel's founding, which they call the "catastrophe." This is the fusion of the Marxists and Islamists. America is under internal attack fueled by foreign money from Communist China, Qatar, and others, with recent events in New York being deliberately planned, funded, and organized. The government must follow the money, deport and denaturalize threats, as Democrats enable Marxists and Islamists who run under their banner. Later, Ed Gallrein calls in to discuss his run against Rep Thomas Massie in Kentucky. He warns that failing to seize this narrow window of opportunity would lead history to punish future generations, and he fully supports the President's approach to reshaping the world, centered on economic power for peace and prosperity, with the military as one tool. Also, in breaking news – the Supreme Court rejected an emergency appeal by Virginia Democratic lawmakers to revive redrawn congressional maps, previously approved by voters but struck down by the Virginia Supreme Court, that could have netted Democrats up to four additional seats. Democrats are now attacking the Court's integrity to justify packing it with ideological allies, while simultaneously seeking to eliminate the Electoral College, add D.C. and Puerto Rico as states to lock in Senate control, dominate state supreme courts, and exploit the counting of illegal aliens for congressional seats—all in pursuit of absolute power and a permanent one-party state, just like New York and California. This is a totalitarian mindset that disregards constitutional limits. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ghassan Kanafani, born in Acre in 1936, displaced by the Nakba in 1948 and assassinated in Beirut in 1972, was one of the leading Palestinian writers of his generation. In an event to mark a new edition of his masterpiece Men in the Sun (Verso) British-Palestinian writer Isabella Hammad (Enter Ghost) was in conversation about his work, both literary and political, with Laleh Khalili, Professor of Gulf Studies at Exeter University and author, most recently, of Extractive Capitalism.

Support Green and Red Podcast and get the latest at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast.It's the 78th anniversary the Nakba. The Nakba, meaning "catastrophe" in Arabic, refers to the mass displacement, dispossession, and ethnic cleansing of roughly 750,000 Palestinian Arabs during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. It marks the destruction of Palestinian society, the destruction of over 400 villages, and the prevention of return for refugees.We're reposting short audio from last year about Israeli terrorists blowing up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem to commemorate the Nakba. This incident was one of many terrorist actions by the Irgun that drove the British out of Palestine and led to the Nakba two years later.--------------On July 22, 1946, Terrorists from the Irgun, a Zionist paramilitary group in Palestine led by Menachem Begin, blew up part of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which was the headquarters of the British Mandate in Palestine. The explicit goal was to use terror to drive the British out of the region, and the blast killed 91--mostly civilians, about 30 Britons, and about 20 Jews. The attack met its goal as the British were driven out of Palestine and Israel was created 2 years later. The King David bombing showed that terrorism worked and set into motion 8 decades of continued terror from Israel, and it shows, again, that there is no historical basis for using October 7, 2023 as a point of origin to discuss this issue.———————

So Trump went to China and achieved...nothing! May 15th is Nakba day and the third year in a row that we commemorate this day during a genocide that Palestinians say is worse than the 1948 catastrophe.  Meanwhile, here at home, ICE finds itself in a legal morass as its kidnappings are deemed illegal. But that isn't stopping them from trying to get in on the good ole fashioned 'Murican tradition of slavery.  Also...It's our 300th episode! The world has arguably gotten worse since we first started doing this show. But as we like to say, the world may be fucked but all the people we love are doing beautiful things.

Israel's genocidal war on Gaza has shattered long-held hopes for Palestinian-Israeli coexistence and exposed the global systems sustaining the decades-long destruction of Palestine and the dispossession of Palestinians. In this special edition of the The Marc Steiner Show, commemorating the solemn anniversary of the Nakba, Marc speaks with world-renowned author and physician Ghada Karmi about the destruction of Gaza, the collapse of faith in a political solution, and the deepening despair felt by many Palestinians and Israelis alike today. Guests:Ghada Karmi was born in Jerusalem. Forced from her home during the Nakba, she later trained as a Doctor of Medicine at Bristol University. She established the first British-Palestinian medical charity in 1972 and was an Associate Fellow at the Royal Institute for International Affairs.

What does it look like to forge a national identity and re-constitute a liberation movement when a people is in exile? What does it mean to organize a revolution of refugees? For our Nakba 78 episode, we discuss the unique context of Nakba to the cause of national liberation--family histories, the relationship of class, displacement, and dispossession to revolution, and the inevitability of continued resistance so long as Zionism exists.

Today, on Nakba Day, we're honored to share a very special interview with you.Nakba Day commemorates the mass displacement of Palestinians that began on May 15, 1948. “Nakba,” the Arabic word for “catastrophe,” refers to the forced expulsion of more than 750,000 Palestinians and the destruction and depopulation of over 500 Palestinian villages, towns, and cities by Zionist militias and, later, the Israeli army.In this episode, Maisa co-hosts with We Rise apprentice Hannah in an interview with Saif Abu Keshek a member of the steering committee for the Global Sumud Flotilla. This interview was recorded at the International People's Tribunal on Palestine in Barcelona, where the People's Tribunal charged the settler colonial state of Israel of genocide and ecocide in November 2025. Together, we discuss how people's tribunals can serve as both a tool and strategy in the Palestine Liberation movement.We also speak about the central role of Palestinian political prisoners in the struggle for liberation. Political prisoners are not only symbols of resistance — they are our compass, grounding the movement in steadfastness, sacrifice, and collective responsibility.Earlier this year, on April 30, Saif — a Spanish national of Palestinian origin — and Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila were abducted while sailing alongside dozens of activists as part of the latest humanitarian mission organized by the Global Sumud Flotilla. Saif and Thiago were imprisoned in Israel for 10 days under brutal conditions, where they endured torture and took part in a hunger strike.The Global Sumud Flotilla continues to sale to break the siege on Gaza. GlobalSumudFlotilla.org@GlobalSumudFlotillaWe Rise will be releasing exclusive interviews with the People's Tribunal organizers and people who shared live testimony in Barcelona, stay tuned in to We Rise Production for episode release. InternationalSolidarity.org/tribunal@InternationalPeoplesFrontThis episode features music by DAM, Abu Arab, Ahmad Kaabour and sounds from the the International People's Tribunal on Palestine in Barcelona.

How Do You Remember the City That Was Stolen From You?! In this episode of This is Palestine, ninety-year-old George Bahu revisits his childhood in al-Baqa'a al Foqa, a Palestinian neighborhood in West Jerusalem before the Nakba. He remembers school, cinema, Bus No. 6, and his father's transportation company that once connected Jerusalem to cities across Palestine. George also recalls the violence that transformed the city: the King David Hotel bombing, armed Zionist attacks on Palestinian neighborhoods, and the mass displacement of Palestinians in 1948. Forced into exile with his family, George never returned home. But decades later, he still carries Jerusalem with him: in photographs, documents, dreams, and memory.

Met vandaag: geopolitiek analist Alex Krijger over Xi en de Val van Thucydides | Welke rol spelen de archieven bij de herdenking van de Palestijnse Nakba? | Rapper Drake kondigde nieuwe album aan via briefje in ijsschots | De Indiase premier Modi bezoekt Nederland dit weekend | Presentatie: Lucella Carasso.

For 78 years, Palestinians have carried the memory of the Nakba as an ongoing reality of displacement, occupation, imprisonment, and genocide. In this episode of CODEPINK Radio, Janin speaks with Chicago-based activist and political educator Soha Khatib about growing up Palestinian in diaspora, Black-Palestinian solidarity, the collapse of political Zionism, and how revolutionary love, community, and imagination keep the struggle alive. The Nakba did not end in 1948. Neither has Palestinian resistance.

Israel's genocidal destruction of Gaza is the culmination of a violent settler-colonial project that goes all the way back to the Nakba (“Catastrophe”) of 1948. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, former political prisoner and Black Panther Mansa Musa speaks with award-winning Palestinian author and former political prisoner Basem Khandakji about the decades-long destruction of Palestinian society and mass displacement of Palestinians from their homeland, as well as the perseverance of Palestinian prisoners under the totalitarian conditions of Israeli prisons.Guests:Basem Khandakji, born in 1983 in Nablus, is a Palestinian novelist, poet, and journalist. Arrested in 2004 at the age of twenty-one for his political activities, he continued to write from prison, producing a body of work that has earned wide recognition across the Arab world. Khandakji was released from Israeli prison in 2025, one year after his novel A Mask the Color of the Sky won the prestigious International Prize for Arabic Fiction.Credits:Producer / Videographer / Editor: Cameron GranadinoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!
