Send us a textThis week we are rebroadcasting an interview we aired on June 28, 2024 by my co-host Margot Patterson. She interviewed journalist Mahmoud Mushtaha, assistant manager of We Are Not Numbers, a non-profit in Gaza that pairs young Palestinian writers with professional journalists to help them tell their stories to an English-speaking audience. Mahmoud had left Gaza for Egypt just a month before the interview, in which he describes the harrowing conditions he and his family faced in Gaza. The conditions that Mahmoud describes have only intensified since his interview in June 2024. On March 2, Israel resumed its blockade of humanitarian supplies and on March 18 the ceasefire collapsed after Israel bombed Gaza, killing 400 people in one day. On April 3, Mahmoud published an article for 972 Mag entitled “In Gaza's devastated hospitals, treatable patients face ‘slow, quiet death.' In the piece, he describes the well-documented massacre of Red Crescent paramedics on March 23 and the almost complete collapse of Gaza's medical system.

“Israel aims to cancel and erase Palestinian life!” UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, and director of Forensic Architecture, Eyal Weizman, expose the mechanics of Israel's genocide in Gaza. Speaking to Palestinian journalist from Gaza, Ahmed Alnaouq, Francesca references her new UN report titled “Genocide as Colonial Erasure”, which documents how Israel is wielding its genocide as part of a broader, systematic and intentional state-organised forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians. A new 800 page report published by Forensic Architecture titled “A Spatial Analysis of the Israeli Military's Conduct in Gaza since October 2023”, uses innovative digital technology to illustrate Israel's wholesale destruction of the Gaza Strip which has left “no safe place” for Palestinians under siege and bombardment, according director Eyal Weizman.

It has now been over a year since Israel embarked on its genocidal campaign in Gaza. In that time, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been killed or injured. Furnishing Israel with more than just diplomatic cover, Western governments have kept up a steady supply of military aid and equipment, actively enabling the wholesale slaughter of Palestinians. Our governments' complicity cannot be ignored or overstated.  At the heart of questions around how and why Britain and the US are continuing to arm Israel lies the international arms trade. Thinking more about how this corrupting, deadly industry operates, and how we might resist it, is vital - something that Palestinians understand only too well: one year ago, Palestinian trade unions reiterated their urgent global call to action, imploring workers across the world to halt the sale of weapons to Israel. We are joined on the show by Ahmed Alnaouq, Andrew Feinstein and Anna Stavrianakis, to discuss how weapons sales to Israel function as a direct expression of state policy; how the arms industry corrupts our own democratic political processes; and the socio-economic opportunity cost of our governments' commitment to militarism. We also talk about the direct impact these weapons have had on life in Gaza, long before October 7th 2023; and the work that We Are Not Numbers is doing to give young Palestinians agency through sharing their stories. --- Ahmed Alnaouq is a former Palestinian diplomat who served in the Palestinian Mission to the UK. He is the co-founder of We Are Not Numbers, which empowers Palestinian youth to share their stories globally. Ahmed holds a masters degree in International Journalism from Leeds University, and his work has been featured in media outlets including the Washington Post, the New Arab, and Gulf News. Andrew Feinstein is the executive director of Shadow World Investigations. Andrew resigned as an African National Congress (ANC) Member of Parliament in South Africa in 2001, in protest at the government's refusal to investigate corruption in a $10 billion arms deal. His first book, After the Party, reveals the impact of this deal. He also wrote the critically acclaimed book The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade, and worked on an award-winning feature documentary, Shadow World. Anna Stavrianakis is director of research and strategy at Shadow World Investigations, and Professor of International Relations at the University of Sussex.

Palestinian-American legal scholar and attorney Dr Noura Erakat grants this is indeed a horrifying moment of despair for Palestinians everywhere but says giving up is not an option: “Yes nothing has worked to stop this genocide and to liberate Palestinians, but does the opposite of that mean that we give up? Or does the opposite of that mean that we act with greater strategic acumen and foresight and try to think to ourselves, how do we do this differently? How do we do this better?” Noura argues that the legitimacy of institutions such as the ICJ rest upon their responses to Israel's genocide on Gaza, “we already know this is a genocide, so it's a way in which Palestine has inverted the lens. It doesn't matter what you say about Palestine at this point, it matters what Palestine says about your legitimacy and your institution.” Ahmed Alnaouq is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers. __________________________ Support Palestinian led independent media amplifying Palestinian voices against attempted erasure, from just £1 per month: https://www.palestinedeepdive.com/support __________________________ Follow us: Twitter: https://twitter.com/PDeepdive Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pdeepdivegram/ Newsletter https://palestinedeepdive.us4.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=2931c4b53e89e695a30817efb&id=ea848d5a28    

In less than one year, Israel has managed to turn Gaza into rubble. A recent estimate by a global health expert suggested that around 335,000 Gazans could have been killed as a result of the Israeli attacks. Today, “Watchdog” host Lowkey speaks to one of the survivors of the Israeli bombing, Ahmed al-Naouq. Ahmed al-Naouq grew up in central Gaza and moved to the United Kingdom to attend Leeds University. In 2015, he co-founded We Are Not Numbers, a non-profit group that seeks to tell the stories of Palestinians to the world. The grief began right away for al-Naouq. “On the 7th of October, my fiancé's house was bombed, and she lost her brother,” he told Lowkey, adding:We were lucky because, only two days before the war, she managed to escape Gaza and go to meet with me. And I know that if she did not travel with her parents, all of them would have been killed on the first day of the war.”For Lowkey, the Israeli attack on Gaza is of historic proportions. He compared it to the 13th-century Mongol invasion of Baghdad in its similarity in that it destroyed thousands of years of civilization. What has been done, he said, was so intensely violent, not just physically but culturally, that it is almost incomparable. On al-Naouq, Lowkey noted that his story:Really tells us the wider way in which Palestinians have been stripped of their humanity and killed on an industrial scale in Gaza. And it stands as a testament to the will to survive, regardless of the bullying, gangsterism and intimidation from the Zionist project.”Al-Naouq, a journalist by training, lambasted the deceitful Western media coverage of the attacks, stating: The media doesn't care about its own audiences. They don't care if they don't know the truth or not. They are seeking their own interests. And clearly, those interests do not correlate with the truth, so we are challenging that by writing our own stories.”After nearly twelve months of bombing, those attacks show little sign of slowing down, primarily because Western governments continue to supply Israel with the hi-tech weaponry it needs to continue and defend its actions in international bodies such as the United Nations. Support the showThe MintPress podcast, “The Watchdog,” hosted by British-Iraqi hip hop artist Lowkey, closely examines organizations about which it is in the public interest to know – including intelligence, lobby and special interest groups influencing policies that infringe on free speech and target dissent. The Watchdog goes against the grain by casting a light on stories largely ignored by the mainstream, corporate media.Lowkey is a British-Iraqi hip-hop artist, academic and political campaigner.

Over several months, 28-year-old Dr Ashraf who is from Gaza, treated hundreds of patients in the al-Shifa and al-Kuwaiti Hospitals, including undertaking a lower-leg amputation on a patient with no anaesthetic, as none was available due to Israel's tightening of the blockade amid its ongoing genocide. PDD host, Ahmed Alnaouq, is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers. On October 22, Israel bombed Ahmed's family home killing most of his close family. Dr Ashraf recounts a heartbreaking story of receiving a young Palestinian girl whose family had been killed in an Israeli missile strike. Waking up in hospital, alone and her face covered in shrapnel, she asks, “Doctor, am I in heaven?” She tells Dr Ashraf that her mother had promised she would wake up in a calm, peaceful environment, “going to heaven directly” if Israel did indeed attack their family home.

I was really worried to go to my house because you don't want to endanger your family… It was very cold and you sleep with the smell of bodies and you wake up to the screams of the mothers…it's the smell of death. I know the smell of death,” Azaiza tells Ahmed. Israel has killed more than 160 Palestinian journalists in Gaza since October. Azaiza's footage and photography has reached billions around the world, with his Instagram account attracting more than 18 million followers eager to bypass mainstream media bias and see the reality of life on the ground in Gaza. But Azaiza tells Ahmed he has lost hope in the power of images to affect change, yet continued his work in Gaza because it was “his passion and his duty.” Ahmed Alnaouq is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers.

A recording of excerpts from a live SAND Community Gathering hosted by Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo from Apr 20, 2024. Storyteller Haneen Sabbah, a Palestinian Falahi woman and mother from Gaza, guided us through an experience of the vibrant and thriving place Gaza once was, before it became a pile of rubble. She transports us to the rich history and culture of this region through her enchanting drumbeats, meditations, and songs.

Jawdat al-Khoudary's home was known as the most beautiful place in the Gaza Strip. Now, nothing remains of the house or garden. Khoudary, one of Gaza' most successful business men, whose family dates back nine generations in Gaza, had created a 100,000-square-foot oasis amid the besieged coastal enclave. Ahmed Alnaouq is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers. Yasmeen El Khoudary is an independent London-based researcher and writer specialised in Palestinian archaeology and cultural heritage. Chris Rose is the director of Amos Trust. But now, the mosaic paths which weaved between verdant groves of exotic plants and greenhouses filled tens of thousands of tiny cactuses from around the world have been turned to desert by Israeli bulldozers. And the ornate columns and chandeliers which filled his adjacent home have been torn down. n collaboration with Amos Trust: https://www.amostrust.org/ Please support our work: https://www.palestinedeepdive.com/support Twitter:   / pdeepdive Instagram:   / pdeepdivegram

They attack Jewish faculty. They want to kill Jews wherever they are. It has to be stopped.” Israel murdered many family members of our Palestinian guest Ahmed, including fourteen children under the age of 13. When Netanyahu lies that protesters are against Jewish people and not against Israel's uncountable horrors, it becomes crucial for journalists to thoroughly debunk his dangerous claims. So Jamie, Ahmed, and Colter lay out a complete history of Israel's war crimes against Palestinians, from the mass murder in Jaffa in order to create Tel Aviv, up through the massacre at the Great March of Return (Ahmed shares personal stories from the march). They show the countless attempts at peaceful protests by the Palestinians that were met with Israeli violence, and explain how today's college protests, including a large contingent of Jewish students, signify that years of peaceful protesting is finally making a global impact. This week's interview will not be paywalled because we think Netanyahu's claims should be debunked for everyone. If you want a full breakdown of the college campus protests, the Israeli actors posing as protesters to disrupt them, and the professors who are gunning to censor and expel the brave students, subscribe to watch our Thursday Throwdown.

Palestine Deep Dive and Double Down News host an emergency event, Gaza Frontline, hearing from four Palestinians from Gaza on Nov 8th at the Frontline Club, London. The discussion is chaired by investigative journalist Matt Kennard, co-founder of Declassified UK. For a month now, Israel, a nuclear-armed military superpower, has conducted its biggest and harshest bombardments against the captive population of the Gaza Strip, leaving nowhere safe. Now under “complete siege”, Palestinians are not only killed from direct bombardment, crushed under the rubble, but suffer an imposed starvation, dehydration and a collapsed medical system. A considerable number of respected human rights organisations and experts have expressed concern that Palestinians are at grave risk of genocide by Israel. More than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's bombardments, including over 4,000 children. Since October 7th, Israel has also reportedly ramped up its oppression of Palestinians under occupation in the West Bank and Jerusalem, killing Palestinians daily and committing other human rights violations such as arresting and detaining Palestinians without trial and committing torture. Despite Israel continuing to commit atrocities in front of our eyes, Western governments refuse to call for an immediate ceasefire and a lifting of the siege to restore electricity, fuel, water, food and to provide urgent humanitarian relief. Right now, as their families remain under blockade and bombardment, it has never been more urgent to hear Palestinians in their own words present both the facts on the ground and what must be done to end this ongoing crisis once and for all. Panel: Matt Kennard (chair) is co-founder and chief investigator at Declassified UK, a news outlet investigating British foreign policy. He was a fellow and then director at the Centre for Investigative Journalism (CIJ) in London, UK. He has worked as a staff writer for the Financial Times in Washington, DC, New York, and London.

His writings have been published in many publications including The Washington Post, The New Arab and Arab News.

From Israeli forces attacking worshipers at the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem to the forced expulsion of Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah, international outcry and condemnation of Israel's apartheid regime reached new heights last month, seemingly culminating in the recent announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. While the bombs may have stopped for the time being, however, the violence of occupation continues unabated. In this week's episode of “The Marc Steiner Show,” we continue our exploration of the history and human toll of apartheid in Israel and Palestine. We begin with a dramatic reading by E. Ethelbert Miller of his poem “Ceasefire.” Then, Marc speaks with Majed Abusalama about life under occupation.

Basman Derawi, physiotherapist at the ministry of health in Gaza, and writer and poet for the We Are Not Numbers project, tells us about how the healthcare system in Gaza is faring during the unrelenting assault by Israeli armed forces, how the attacks on infrastructure have seriously affected the capacity of hospitals to provide proper care and compromised supply chains necessary to get essential supplies. Miko Peled, human rights activist and author, talks to us about how the situation is unfolding in the West Bank after the assault on Gaza ignited protests there, which may include a general strike by Palestinians. We also talk about the recent shift in public opinion which has become more sympathetic to the Palestinian cause while the official line still remains pro-Israel, and whether there will be any pressure on policy makers by the public. Jenny Brown, author of “Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight Over Women's Work” and “Without Apology: The Abortion Struggle Now,” and an organizer with National Women’s Liberation, talks to us about the Supreme Court considering a case from Mississipi that bans abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, how abortion rights are are constantly being chipped away at, and what it would take to strengthen protections for women’s reproductive rights.Brandon Sutton, host of the Discourse Podcast, joins us in a conversation about right-wing journalists and how they cover Black Lives Matter protests, the controversy over live-streams of protests after Glenn Greenwald responded to an article by The Intercept, and how protesters should also have the right to protect themselves from misrepresentation by certain media. We also talk about the Washington Post reporting that the far right is becoming more diverse and the merits of this analysis.Alfredo Castro, community organizer based in Washington, DC, fighting for a path to citizenship for all 11 million immigrants, and member of the musical group Son La Lucha, talks to us about how music and political struggle go together through the sound of the Son Jarocho, its long history of community building, and how engaging in political action is just more fun with music.

What exactly happened at the border fence, and how did we get there? Skyler speaks with Ohad Hemo, an award-winning Israeli broadcast journalist who reports on Palestinian affairs, about what goes unpublished in coverage on Gaza, and what he sees as the long-term effects of the blockade. Gaza's sounds and emotions are captured by Mohammad Arafat, a 25-year-old Gazan poet and journalist who writes for We Are Not Numbers, and who speaks with us about what it's like to grow up, live, and dream, on the other side of the fence.Intractable is made possible thanks to Yale University's Howland and Cohen Fellowships.

They attack Jewish faculty. They want to kill Jews wherever they are. It has to be stopped.” Israel murdered many family members of our Palestinian guest Ahmed, including fourteen children under the age of 13. When Netanyahu lies that protesters are against Jewish people and not against Israel's uncountable horrors, it becomes crucial for journalists to thoroughly debunk his dangerous claims. So Jamie, Ahmed, and Colter lay out a complete history of Israel's war crimes against Palestinians, from the mass murder in Jaffa in order to create Tel Aviv, up through the massacre at the Great March of Return (Ahmed shares personal stories from the march). They show the countless attempts at peaceful protests by the Palestinians that were met with Israeli violence, and explain how today's college protests, including a large contingent of Jewish students, signify that years of peaceful protesting is finally making a global impact. This week's interview will not be paywalled because we think Netanyahu's claims should be debunked for everyone. If you want a full breakdown of the college campus protests, the Israeli actors posing as protesters to disrupt them, and the professors who are gunning to censor and expel the brave students, subscribe to watch our Thursday Throwdown.
