EDITOR—Ali Abunimah, Nour Jaghama and Atheer Yacoub React to Israeli genocide. Ali works with the Electronic Intifada (EI), a must-read website staffed by Arabs and Arab-Americans dedicated to the Palestinian struggle. There’s only one site that matches EI in its journalistic quality and integrity, and that is Mondoweiss, ironically, (or perhaps fittingly, since there are many Jews who do not subscribe to Zionism), founded and edited by a Jew, journalist Philip Weiss. A rather coy description says that Mondoweiss “is a news website devoted to covering American foreign policy in the Middle East, chiefly from a progressive Jewish perspective”, although it is much more than that.

ALEKS—Israel has, as all other nuclear powers, a contingency plan, named “Samson Plan”. Which essentially means that it would discharge its whole nuclear arsenal against its enemies before it goes under. This is what makes me think that full destruction of Israel is not the plan of the Axis of Resistance. Rather some kind of “Regime Change” and implementation of Resolution 242.

CHRIS HEDGES—Israel was founded on lies. The lie that Palestinian land was largely unoccupied. The lie that 750,000 Palestinians fled their homes and villages during their ethnic cleansing by Zionist militias in 1948 because they were told to do so by Arab leaders. The lie that it was Arab armies that started the 1948 war that saw Israel seize 78 percent of historic Palestine. The lie that Israel facedannihilation in 1967, forcing it to invade and occupy the remaining 22 percent of Palestine, as well as land belonging to Egypt and Syria.

RAMIRO SEBASTIAN FUNEZ—Exposing the myth of the Holodomor, an alleged Soviet famine in Ukraine from 1932 to 1933. During today’s episode, we debunk claims that Stalin and the Soviet Union purposefully starved millions of Ukrainians. We shed light on the role of Ukrainian Nazi collaborators in spreading the mythology of the Holodomor. We also discuss how fraudulent historical events like the Holodomor influence imperialist propaganda today. Today’s guest is Dr. Grover Furr, an author and professor of Medieval English literature at Montclair State University. Dr. Furr has published numerous books debunking imperialist lies about Stalin and the Soviet Union.
