"IF YOU CHANGE THE NAMES, THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE GAZA STRIP AND THE WEST BANK IS THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SOUTH AFRICA".--ARCHBISHOP DESMOND TUTU 1989

You have mastered the art of allowing a guest to speak and complete entire thoughts

Thank you! Solidarity from Sydney,Australia. Free Palestine ✌️✊🇵🇸

Rania's plain truth speaking is so utterly refreshing !

Amazing Piece of journalism. I admire you both. I remember as a student at Essex University in 1982 the Student Union passed a resolution "No platform for Zionists and Racists" overwhelmingly and we were condemned by the Guardian for doing so. Many demanded that Essex University be closed down. My dedication to seeking the truth gets stronger every day. Freedom for Palestine is inevitable And the day is darkest before the dawn.

What a great eye-opening conversation. Thank you so much Rania and Ali. Keep up your excellent work.

This lady is pure gold.

Thank you Rania Khalek and Ali Abunima for this precious conversation!! Bravo!🙏👏👏👏👏

Thank you, Rania and Ali. You are brilliant.

Israel has various weapons making factories in the UK they are being targeted successfully and forced to close down.

I have to say. As I listen to all of your interviews and podcast’s I know you all are telling the truth because of such grace in the way things are explained with dates, times and places and people. Also there is never any word salad…. Lol…. It always makes sense. ❤️much love

Ali needs to also be interviewed in MSM! People are ignorant about Israel's actions against the Palestinians.

no blonde haired blue eyed resistance fighter could last 70 years the Palestinians are the bravest most resilient people on the planet

Thank you to both of you, great interview

Thanks rania. So much more relevant today.

Never heard of the Dahiya doctrine. Thanks Ali Abunimah for bringing this 🙏🏿 to us

It's so hard to listen ,it's unbelievable. Thenk you for giving us opportunity to know what is really going on !

Iron lady. I like you and Heremela Aregaw from Ethiopia. Both of you are smart & your dedication.

I always look fwd to listen to Ali A - such eloquence on heartrending issues & appalling injustices & yet he never misses a beat. It reminds me that I should top up my support for the Electronic I - those not acquainted with his platform should take a look.

"I saw small boys baited and killed by Israeli soldiers in the Gaza refugee camp of Khan Younis. The soldiers swore at the boys in Arabic over the loudspeakers of their armored jeep. The boys, about 10 years old, then threw stones at an Israeli vehicle and the soldiers opened fire, killing some, wounding others. I was present more than once as Israeli troops drew out and shot Palestinian children in this way. Such incidents, in the Israeli lexicon, become children caught in crossfire. I was in Gaza when F-16 attack jets dropped 1,000-pound iron fragmentation bombs on overcrowded hovels in Gaza City. I saw the corpses of the victims, including children. This became a surgical strike on a bomb-making factory. I have watched Israel demolish homes and entire apartment blocks to create wide buffer zones between the Palestinians and the Israeli troops that ring Gaza. I have interviewed the destitute and homeless families, some camped out in crude shelters erected in the rubble. The destruction becomes the demolition of the homes of terrorists. I have stood in the remains of schools - Israel struck two United Nations schools in the last six days, causing at least 10 fatalities at one in Rafah on Sunday and at least 19 at one in the Jebaliya refugee camp Wednesday - as well as medical clinics and mosques. I have heard Israel claim that errant rockets or mortar fire from the Palestinians caused these and other deaths, or that the attacked spots were being used as arms depots or launching sites. I, along with every other reporter I know who has worked in Gaza, have never seen any evidence" Chris hedges

Palestine is the major decolonisation challenge and that must be settled with an end to the subsidising and arming of the settler state by the US and Europe. France also needs to be pressed to free its island colonies and "French" Guiana. New Caledonia had a referendum recently on independence and French settlers voted as you would expect so the referendum was lost. These colonies are small and the Palestinians are millions so Palestine needs to be solved first.

Ali is my hero nowadays I love all of what he says🙌🏽🤲🏾 may Allah bless him ❤

I thought I was alone in thinking this. Thank you ! Free Palestine !

ThanQ for helping to awaken the world. BT is remarkable. (Frm NZ)

I came on board with the Palestinians in the 90’s when during a conversation it was said Israel had returned after 2,000 years. In that moment it dawned on me and I said “if 2,000 years isn’t a claim to land by a people then no one has a claim to land”

Power to the Palestinians 🙏🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🖤

I remember this going in in the 1960's and 70's. The October 1973 war. It's still going on. With no resolution in sight. One of the insane threads of history of my generation and many that followed. Can't help but believe the US is culpable for decades upon decades of conflict and lack of a resolution. Things and people will not conform to reason, the problem is sociological. Have philosophers abandoned this field?

Ali is BRILLIANT! Love his analysis.

Two wonderful people giving us insights more worthy than any iota of israeli blood.

Thank you for the TRUTH .

It is very useful to inform the audience about what is going on and who is involved in Israel ‘s genocide in Palestine. This has been going on for 70 years. Most people who care do know what is going on. There are many organisations that do this, but none including yours offer no solution, strategy and action to change things.

Both indigenous Americans are brilliant in their analysis of middle East situation.

It is extremely important to uplift those struggling ( and/or aiding) forces fighting to free Palestine. My dear son Obadiah is looking at you.

Not sure if you’ve had Scott Ritter on yet, but he’s another brilliant man with honesty, integrity and morals, who knows the FACTS about everything pertaining to this conflict and the world!to

I love alternative media like this.

Hope one day I find a smart woman like this from my generation mashallah! NOTHING BUT FACTS FROM HER!

#FreePalestine #WeAreAllPalestinians #BDS

I'm a pacific islander... I protested against the French testing of nuclear bombs in 1972 as a university activist 😅😮

From my memory, Obama’s website clearly stated, before his first Presidential election, that he supported Israel unilaterally.

Thank you . Excellent work.

As usual I love these conversations

USAand Israel can not be charged with war crimes so far

Rania, much love and respect to you and to Ali.

Israel also talks about 'mowing the grass'. Horrific!

It has gotten really old and frustrating to keep hearing over and over for 75 years the schoolyard bully and his two friends claiming self-defense all the time.

Rania, you are georrgeous! A light in a dark world.

You are both BRAIN and beauty! ❤ Thank you for your dissections and analyses. Very good journalism. Greetings fuom Norway🇳🇴

LAND OF THE BRAVE,LAND OF THE FREE,LAND OF PALESTINE.MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU ALWAYS❤❤❤❤❤

He could not predict what is happening in Gaza now a year later December 2023 20,000 children plus men and women slaughtered and buried in the rubble of bombed high rise apartment blocks. UN resolutions for a cease fire and humanitarian aid vitoed by one country the US.

Thank You, Rania and Ali.

May God empower and strengthen the Palestinian resistance. The moral people of the world stand with Palestine.

Rania is looking amazing as ever . Free Palestine

I imagine a world - a world for Palestinians especially - that excludes Israel. A peaceful world, where our children can grow and thrive. A world where human beings, regardless of color/language (etc.), are simply ALL part of this world.

The empire and the resistance.".may the force be with you"❤

Which is why I am at a loss as to why anybody would chastise Russia for taking action and using its strength in the service of Justice.

Ali is one brave soul courage is a virtue

(Z) elensky of NATO installed W, Central regions of Ukraine says that his gov. is not W liberal.democracy---- it is another --- Israel !!! Ethnic Russians in Donetsk and Luhansk, Crimea, etc.are in position similar to Palestinians---- although the main difference is that they have much help from Russian Federation.

This is why Russia and president Putin is our only hope for justice and a fair world God bless president Putin and please President Putin stay strong and faithful to the lord he is your side

Mashallah. Ms. Rania knocking that shiz right out of the park. Another homerun.

I wish I had seen this a year ago. It provides so much context to what's happening today. Back then I still supported Israel. I slowly changed my mind. Though I had hated Netonaru for decades. But the events leading to and after Oct 7th. Cemented my opposition to the right wing Zionist minority. At first I didn't have any Ill will to Israel or the Jewish population of Israel. But in the last couple of weeks. As I learn the history of the region. I have become very conflicted. On one hand I don't want to condemn all of Israel. But on the other hand, I can't help but to see parallels to the treatment of the Native Americans of my country. Something that has weighed heavily on me since the sixties.

Thank you R and A! You both have taught me a lot over the years as well as these past few months. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

It's hard to believe this was posted in August 2022.....

RANIA: EYE CANDY

In the occupied Palestine crisis, it's not what you do, it's who you do it to that matters.

On the subject of boycotting Isreal, I have noticed here in the US that the over-the-counter antacid generic Omeprazole which is sold on Amazon and CVS is "Made in Isreal". But the brand name Prilosec is made in Sweden and costs only a dollar more. Maybe you should highlight some "Made in Isreal" products and suggest alternatives..

what a great interview ty ❤️

great analysis and thanks for speaking the truth

Powerful speaker. Ty.

I love this man, so articulate and accurate

A real life "star wars"-like saga playing out before us.

I'm was half watching the conversation for 45 mins thinking it was this year. Messed me up. But the one argument the guy was saying about using indiscriminate weapons being illegal. I'd say one could make the case that any bomb advance guiding or not is indiscriminate. As you can't control the explosion.

... THIS IS GREAT !

Great show guys!

I’ve just realised you’re talking about years ago ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥⁉️

Hello everyone!

What a wonderful man. ❤

Guys appreciate for your excellent analysis

BDS, baby. Starve the beast.

Great discussion. Thank you both.❤

I don’t support the Iranian regime for their home politics as they have been ultra orthodox about Islamic I rules but god I support them fully for standing with humanity and helping Palestinian.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU ❤ PRSY FOR THE RESISTANCE..

Great information!! Keep it up.

47:04 Very good point. Lebanon is too strong!

Respect for this man’s bravery for his interview with Putin, so much is clear now! Wake UP PEOPLE !!

State of necessity, now known as “necessity” and codified by Article 25 of the International Law Commission’s (ILC’s) Articles on State Responsibility (ASR), is a circumstance precluding the wrongfulness of an otherwise internationally wrongful act.

The battle for legitimacy When Israel says it has a “right to defend itself,” the correct response is to ask from what or whom? Not a single Israeli citizen or soldier has been harmed or killed by Palestinians since the protests began. In short, Israel is shooting and killing human beings who pose absolutely zero threat to either the state of Israel or its citizens. Moreover, never once have you ever heard an American journalist ask an Israeli war crimes apologist, “Well, don’t Palestinians have a right do defend themselves, too?” It’s such a self-evidently obvious and simple question, but no one dare asks it. I mean, why not? When Palestinians support non-violent forms of resistance, such as the boycott Israel movement, they’re smeared by Israel as “anti-Semites.” When they protest against their injustices angrily, they’re smeared as violent Arabs, and when they resort to violence, out of sheer desperation, they’re labeled “radical Islamic terrorists.” So, I’ll ask again. Do Palestinians have a right to defend themselves? The answer to that question is a resounding yes. In fact, international law is unambiguous in its endorsement of “armed struggle” for peoples who seek self-determination under “colonial and foreign domination.” United Nations resolution 37/43, dated 3 December 1982, “reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle.” Moreover, the resolution’s preamble makes clear that it refers not to a hypothetical in the abstract, but rather specifically to the rights of Palestinians, stating, “Considering that the denial of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination, sovereignty, independence and return to Palestine and the repeated acts of aggression by Israel against the peoples of the region constitute a serious threat to international peace and security.” Lynda Burstein Brayer is an Israeli-trained human rights lawyer, and she affirms the legal and moral right Palestinians have to armed struggle against Israel’s occupation, noting, “This document [UN resolution 37/43] legitimises all national liberation struggles, including, at this time in history, most particularly, the Palestinian people’s struggle for its own freedom. It is this right which legitimises all Palestinian attempts to lift the yoke of Israeli oppression from Palestine, including all the actions taken by the Palestinians during Operation Cast Lead [Israel’s 2008/09 siege of Gaza].” Now we have completely flipped pro-Israel propaganda on its head. Under international law, Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories is illegal, and Palestinians have a right to “armed struggle” against their illegal occupier - Israel - thus ipso facto Palestinians have a right to defend themselves against Israel, but Israel's right to defend itself against Palestinian resistance is not guaranteed in the same manner. This reality should be chanted far and loud for it undercuts every Israeli attempt to couch its violence against the Palestinian people in claims of self-defense.

Incredible fantastic ending … Ali you really know your subjects

BDS

Thank you

Thank you humans ❤❤❤❤

Ali...you are a great guy...thanx

I cannot imagine a better combination of an analyzing, penetrating intellect and a gorgeous look than Rania Khalek!❤

I really wish you would make a distinction between the Government of the US and its people.

Excellent plea!

Excellent analysis site 👍

Thanks ,4 Yrs Truthfulleys..!

Please can we "rant" Palestinian Oil & Gas more loudly, because nobody is shouting out Palestinian Oil & Gas, until I commented on Richard Medhurst to shout it out loud!
