Katie talks to Human Rights lawyer Craig Mokhiber and Palestinian-American journalist Said Arikat about Israel's relaunched genocide, Zionism's war on free speech and Human Rights, and the attacks on Yemen. Craig Mokhiber is an American former United Nations (UN) human rights official and a specialist in international human rights law, policy, and methodology. On October 28, 2023, Mokhiber stepped down as the director of the New York office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). In his final letter to High Commissioner Volker Türk, he harshly criticized the organization's response to the war in Gaza, calling Israel's military intervention a "textbook genocide" and accusing the UN of failing to act. Said Arikat is a Palestinian journalist and Washington bureau chief for Al-Quds, a daily Newspaper which has been published out of East Jerusalem (uninterruptedly) since 1951. In addition to his work as a journalist, Arikat is an adjunct professor at the American University. He served as the United Nations Chief Spokesman in Iraq from 2005-2010. He is a familiar face at U.S. State Department press briefings, where he has engaged in sometimes contentious exchanges with State Department Spokespersons. ***Please support The Katie Halper Show *** For bonus content, exclusive interviews, to support independent media & to help make this program possible, please join us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/thekatiehalpershow Get your Katie Halper Show Merch here! https://katiehalper.myspreadshop.com/all Follow Katie on Twitter: https://x.com/kthalps Follow Katie on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kthalps/ #news #politics #youtube
US President Joe Biden was in Berlin on Friday on a whirlwind trip to discuss with European allies what Washington calls, 'an opportunity' to turn the page on the war on Gaza. They expressed hope of a ceasefire and the release of Israeli captives after the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar on Wednesday. But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the 'war is not over'. And a senior Hamas leader has said the captives will not be released until Israel ends its assault of Gaza. So, are world leaders right in their assessment of the situation of a post-Sinwar Gaza? And can they really negotiate peace? In this episode: Said Arikat, Washington Bureau Chief, Al Quds Newspaper. Brian Finucane, Senior Adviser, US Programme, International Crisis Group.

In this special panel discussion recorded in Washington DC, Gilad Halpern and Americans for Peace Now's PeaceCast host Ori Nir speak to Amir Tibon, the Haaretz correspondent in Washington, and to Said Arikat, his counterpart for the Palestinian newspaper Al Quds, about covering consecutive US administrations, journalism in the age of social media, and the role of diaspora groups in setting the dynamic of the Israeli-Palestinian-American love-hate triangle over the years. This season of the Tel Aviv Review is made possible by The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, which promotes humanistic, democratic, and liberal values in the social discourse in Israel.
This is a special episode of PeaceCast. For the first time, we recorded PeaceCast before a live audience in Washington DC. We partnered with one of Israel’s most popular English language podcasts, the Tel Aviv Review. We recorded it on March 7th 2019 at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The event was organized in partnership with J Street. We hosted two journalists, Israeli journalist Amir Tibon of Haaretz and Palestinian journalist Said Arikat of al-Quds. Haaretz is published in Tel Aviv and al-Quds is published in Ramallah, in the West Bank. Amir and Said are the Washington correspondents of their newspapers. The idea of this conversation was to explore how Said and Amir both cover the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from Washington. This episode is released simultaneously on PeaceCast and on the Tel Aviv Review. Check out the Tel Aviv Review here: https://tlv1.fm/podcasts/tel-aviv-review-show/

Arikat is one of the last legitimate journalists working in Washington, and his pressure on warmongers like Miller, John Kirby, and the Biden administration is essential in holding their feet to the fire, especially at a time when the Pulitzer-Prize-winning New York Times is working around the clock to cover up their complicity. So from inside Washington establishment politics, Said shares his thoughts on the US's plans for more war and the way the Biden admin enables the “gangster state” of Israel. “This is really an army that is indoctrinated in criminality to kill the Palestinians, to show them they're not human, to torture them. Shame on the Europeans, shame on the Americans, they're the ones that should be held in contempt for allowing such a huge crime to take place under their eyes.” Said, as is sadly the case with all of our Palestinian guests, also has personal stories of family members killed by Israel. Which is why it is so important for him and the rest of us to continue to stand up against the genocide. But more and more people are seeing through Israel's lies, which has Israel worried: “They are panicking because Americans can't be fooled and blackmailed by AIPAC for much longer.” Subscribe for the full interview with Said Arikat on the power of the college encampments, the House's racist antisemitism bill, Israel's attack on Rafah, and the Biden administration's meaningless “pause” on weapons that will have no impact on Israel's plans. 00:00 Intro 00:33 The Four Food Groups of News 21:31 Said Arikat interview 22:19 Israel shuts down Al Jazeera 24:35 Invasion of Rafah 26:12 Hamas agrees to ceasefire 27:55 Said vs Matthew Miller 35:01 Jake Tapper's ridiculous take 39:05 Biden and Johnson exploit the Holocaust 50:23 College protests and antisemitism bill Learn more about your ad choices.
