  • For Those Who Enjoy Brainwashing

    This podcast feels more like an echo chamber than an insightful discussion. The same propaganda is repeated over and over, with little to no fresh perspectives or factual depth. If you’re looking for new insights or a balanced take, this isn’t the place to find them.

  • Incredible resource

    Rethinking Palestine, and the entire Al-Shabaka network, are a vital resource for anyone who wants to break out of the shameful Western media narratives and really engage critically with the insight and vision of Palestinian intellectual leadership around their people’s struggle.

  • Perpetuating victimhood and false information

    Propaganda. Misinformation. Perpetuating these false narratives is setting the Palestinian people back from self-determination and achievement of their independent statehood.

    This podcast is the new nakba. Don’t listen to this mind poison.

  • Palestinian Voices

    What I really like is that this podcast centres Palestinian indigenous voices. We hear a lot of analysis from settler colonists and their allies in academia and journalism. But I prefer to hear it straight from the lived experience of Palestinians.

Global March to Gaza: Lessons from Egypt with Engy Sarhan

US Private Contractors in Gaza with Safa Joudeh
Q: Why is Israel trying to erode existing mechanisms for the distribution of aid?

US Private Contractors in Gaza with Safa Joudeh
Q: What is the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and how does it differ from traditional aid delivery systems?
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation operates under a highly centralized and politicized framework, funded and controlled by the US and Israeli governments, which replaces traditional aid mechanisms, undermining humanitarian norms.

Q: Can you tell us more about the US floating pier and the role of private security contractors?
