  • Good to have you back!

    Congrats on a strong return. A very interesting and compelling discussion. Regarding the discussion on genocide, I feel like there was an elephant in the room and that elephant is Hamas. Should we assign any responsibility to Hamas for this genocide?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why ‘ungrounding’ is the defining feature of Israel’s genocide
Q: Why is ungrounding considered a central feature of the ongoing actions in Gaza?
Because ungrounding reframes destruction as a systematic erasure of life-supporting conditions—soil, water, housing, and mobility—creating a landscape where Palestinians can no longer live with the same viability, which constitutes a form of genocide beyond isolated bombings.
The cost of a failed Palestinian leadership
Q: Could you talk just a bit more about who the Palestinian leadership actually consists of today?
The leadership is dominated by a narrow circle around Mahmoud Abbas, with Hussein al-Sheikh as a central figure; the system concentrates power, marginalizes dissent, and leaves the broader Palestinian population unrepresented, with limited pathways for real accountability or strategic direction.
The disappeared of Gaza
Q: What can you tell us about Hassan Al-Qatta and how his disappearance fits into the broader pattern you've documented?
Hassan's disappearance is emblematic of a much larger pattern where thousands of Gazans are missing or unaccounted for, with families scavenging through hospitals and rubble for any clue; his case helps illustrate the human cost and the procedural barriers that prevent clear determinations of life status for missing people.
How Israel sells militarism at home and abroad
Q: What are the implications of arms markets for civilian life and democracy?
The host and guest discuss how arms exports and training shape policing, borders, and civil liberties abroad and at home, often at the expense of welfare and social services, creating a cycle where security and profit reinforce each other.
How Israel sells militarism at home and abroad
Q: How is militarization being measured and understood as a social phenomenon in Israel?
The guest explains that militarization is visible in culture, education, the economy, and the regular presence of weapons, with many indicators like conscription, street signs, and everyday normalization showing how deeply embedded it is.
