ABD Dışişleri Bakanı Blinken Gazze gündemiyle yine Ortadoğu turunda. İsrail’e tavizsiz destek, Amerikan diplomasisinin etkinliğini azalttı mı? Anadolu Ajansı Washington Muhabiri Hakan Çopur’la konuştuk.

Al Jazeera launched a “Know their Names' ' project on December 12th to bring attention to the over 275 Palestinian men, women, and children murdered in the West Bank since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood has drawn the world’s attention to Gaza. There has been an (understandable) secondary attention given to the West Bank from sympathetic press or even outright neglect from mainstream press with an active, horrifying, genocide occurring in Gaza.

Prolific author, human rights lawyer and anti-imperialist activist Dan Kovalik returns to our show on the heels of a recent trip to the West Bank to help us shine a light on the ongoing Nakba in this “other” theater. His insights are essential to understanding the mass injustice across the whole of Palestine.

İsrail’deki koalisyon hükümeti ve Başbakan Netanyahu’nun iktidarını koruma çabalarının Gazze Şeridi’nde devam eden saldırıları nasıl etkilediğini, Anadolu Ajansı Kudüs Muhabiri Mücahit Aydemir ile konuştuk.

Depuis le 7 octobre dernier, et les attaques terroristes menées par le Hamas contre Israël, nos équipes sont sur le terrain pour vous raconter ce qui se déroule au Proche-Orient: les massacres commis dans les kibboutz, les tirs de roquettes depuis Gaza, et la riposte israélienne massive sur l'enclave palestinienne. Igor Sahiri, grand reporter, et Domitie Bertaud, journaliste reporter d'images, ont couvert les quinze premiers jours du conflit et ils s'apprêtent à repartir sur place pour une deuxième mission. Dans ce nouvel épisode, ils racontent comment ils travaillent et comment ils parviennent à décrire cette guerre entamée il y a presque quatre semaines, qui a déjà fait plusieurs milliers de morts.

Hamas'ın silahlı kanadı İzzeddin el-Kassam Tugayları, İsrail’e karşı “Aksa Tufanı” operasyonu başlattı. Bölgedeki son durumu, Anadolu Ajansı Ortadoğu Haberleri Müdürü Turgut Alp Boyraz ile konuştuk.

This is the third episode in a series of four about Palestinian artisans and their work. I made these episodes to support Handmade Palestine with their online crowdfunding and online Bazar. They invited me to come to the first physical Bazar held in La Vie Cafe in Ramallah since the Corona pandemic started. It was a lovely day with wonderful conversations. The artisans are very passionate about their work and engaging in their talking. We also tried some of the traditional Palestinian food that was made especially for this occasion: romania with lentils, eggplant and pomegranate. 

Please check out the website of Handmade Palestine and buy your gifts from there! Not only do you support the local artisans but also you support the arboretum and eco project Mashar Juthour on the outskirts of Ramallah.

How does one lose their job for reporting the truth, yet their job description is to report the truth? Now that's a riddle that I can't seem to solve.

By now, you may have heard of the open letter that was drafted by journalists urging Canadian newsrooms and editors to provide more nuanced coverage on Palestine and to also include Palestinian voices in regards to the recent attacks that have happened on Gaza, as well as the forced expulsion of the residents of Sheikh Jarrah and the ongoing ethnic cleansing.

Growing up Muslim, I have always felt unsettled when I would watch the news on tv. It was always the same paintbrush followed by the same brush strokes, painting Muslims as the aggressors and terrorists.

This same paintbrush is also used when it comes to what is happening in Palestine and to no surprise, Palestinians are continuously painted as the provokers and 'Israel' as the victim.

How does the media get away with writing news articles that are not always factual and why is it that they can't say the word Palestine on air?

In today's episode, I sit down with a friend of mine, Sumayya Tobah, who is a political producer in Washington D.C. She has also done work for AlJazeera English, ABC News, TRT World and is currently working for CBC.

Sumayya's name was also one of the signatures on this open letter that I had just discussed. She shares with me the behind the scenes of newsrooms and the current response to this letter.

I had so many questions for Sumayya in regards to why it's so difficult for media to accurately cover what is happening in Palestine. I wanted to know why Palestine couldn't be said on air by reporters and journalists alike, and her response was a bit heartbreaking.

She also discusses the roadblocks her and her peers face when challenging editors to amplify Palestinian voices and their stories.

But is it possible that we are also witnessing a slight shift in the narrative and if so, what can we do on our end to continue to pressure the media?

Resistance comes in many different forms and covering the truth is one of them.

May we be the generation that gifts our grandparents with a free Palestine.

Over 200 Palestinians, including 61 children, have been killed in Gaza since violence erupted just over a week ago during the end of Ramadan and at least 1,500 Palestinians have been wounded.

By the time I release this episode, please take into account that these numbers may change drastically.

I can't help but to reiterate that the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians has never stopped. It has been on a continuum for decades now and for the first time the world is coming together as a unifying force to call out the oppressors and to put an end to the genocide of Palestinians at the hands of Israel.

The media has attempted to vilify the Palestinians by painting a picture as if it’s Israel against Hamas, or Israel vs  Gaza and the best one yet, Jews vs Muslims and the foundation of all of these news stories is that Israel is just  trying to defend itself.

This couldn't be further from the truth and so, we the people have become the truth tellers, using social media to amplify what is truly taking place in our beloved homeland of Palestine.

It’s our slingshots and our rocks against their military weapons. Yet, they say that we are the troublemakers and they, the Zionists, are the peacemakers.

And as a reminder these weapons are funded and backed by the US. Just recently, Biden has approved a 735 million dollar weapons sale to Israel. The same USA that sends 3.8 billion dollars annually to fund the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

Ever since we were old enough to read and write, we have known about the plight of our people. It’s having to continuously reaffirm our identity, it’s witnessing someone tell you to your face, why can’t you guys just get along? It’s the deafening silence that has become the advantageous weapon of the Zionists.

In today’s episode I had the privilege of sitting down with Nooran Alhamdan, someone whom I have always viewed as a powerful voice in the Palestinian movement. She explains to us the significance of Sheikh Jarrah, why Gaza is the scapegoat of Israel, how Zionism came about and how to refute their claims made against those who are for the liberation and freedom of Palestinians. I highly encourage that you support the work of Nooran and to share this discussion with family and friends who are seeking additional resources to better understand the plight of the Palestinian people.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Alana Hadid, one of the many gems of our Palestinian community and her family is just as admirable as her. 

Recently, we have seen Alana and her sisters, including Bella come out full force and show their love for their people and their identity, from raising awareness to attending protests.

In today’s discussion, Alana and I had sat down to discuss our Palestinian identity and what role it has played in who we have become today. We also discussed her business, La Detresse and how one can bring their dreams into reality. 

We also spoke of the people in our lives who influence us the most and how critical it is to surround ourselves with the right people. This episode was recorded before the recent events that have taken place, but I hope that you enjoy hearing Alana speak so passionately about Palestine and her roots.

Once again, thank you to the Hadid family, for their resilience, their support and their endless love for their people.
