  • Thank you for this much needed discussion on Israel's suppression of Palestine, and how it has translated into lucrative anti-terrorist systems that the Israeli government exports globally.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'Cease fire!' Black deaths and the racist police in the NT
Q: What is the ceasefire demand rooted in, and why is it important to discuss now?
The ceasefire demand stems from the Walpurg community following police killings, illustrating how police violence directly motivates community safety campaigns and why ending or disarming police in Aboriginal communities is central to addressing systemic racism.
Clinton Fernandes on the Iran war
Q: Why is Australia embedding itself so deeply in Gulf security and in US-led defense structures?
Because Australia's leadership seeks to demonstrate relevance to the US and to safeguard its strategic position in East Asia, even if this means joining or supporting militarized projects like space surveillance, submarine rotations, and allied bases, which helps deter China but also binds Australia to American strategic goals.
Clinton Fernandes on the Iran war
Q: Can you recap for us what you regard as your key arguments on this war?
The core argument is that Trump is pursuing control of oil, not just access to it, and that this involves expanding a broader protection racket where revenues and geopolitical leverage are directed to maintain American dominance; Australia's role is to remain subservient yet highly integrated to ensure its own militarized relevance within that framework.
West Bank: the other genocide
Q: What role do you see the BDS campaign playing in this context?
BDS is a very effective means of isolating Israel and raising awareness, particularly in the academic community, but it alone cannot achieve an end to the genocide and Israeli colonialism.
West Bank: the other genocide
Q: Do you think annexation is imminent and what would the consequences be?
The West Bank has effectively been annexed already, given the increase in settlements and the restrictions placed on Palestinian movement. It may become more formalized in the future, but it has essentially been accomplished.
