How the Media Sold the Genocide in Gaza | Adam Johnson
Adam Johnson, media critic and co-host of Citations Needed, joins Mondoweiss US correspondent Michael Arria to discuss his new book, How to Sell a Genocide: The Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza. All royalties from the book are being donated to the Middle East Children's Alliance.Adam breaks down how US media manufactured consent for the genocide in Gaza, from the ISIS-ification of Hamas to the fake ceasefire theater that let Biden run out the clock. He explains how liberal media created an alternate reality where Biden was secretly furious with Netanyahu while never once threatening to cut weapons, how campus protests were smeared as antisemitic pogroms while 3,000 children were being killed in a single month, and why the Claudine Gay scandal got more coverage on MSNBC than the murder of Hind Rajab. He also looks ahead at how liberal Zionism will try to co-opt growing opposition to Israel with better PR instead of real policy change. - - - - - Support our work Help us continue our critical, independent coverage of events in Palestine, Israel, and related U.S. politics.

A bloody season: the olive harvest in the West Bank
Every October, Palestinian farmers harvest their olives. It should be a season of celebration. Instead, under Israeli occupation, it's become a frontline. This episode follows journalists who embedded with the Zaytoun 2025 campaign for 10 days in the occupied West Bank. They witnessed Israeli settler attacks, tear gas, burned cars, Israeli military closures, and the killing of a 13-year-old boy named Ayssam Jihad Ma'ala, who died after inhaling tear gas at a harvest with his family. But they also witnessed something else: Palestinian farmers who refuse to leave their land. Community organizers who show up every morning knowing what awaits them. A resistance built on steadfastness, not spectacle. Sumud. By mid-November, there were over 160 settler attacks and 150 injured Palestinians. This is the story of what that looked like on the ground.

Annemarie Jacir on Palestine 36 and the Power of Cinema
In this episode, our editor-in-chief, Yumna Patel sits down with Palestine 36's writer and director, Annemarie Jacir, to explore the creative, historical, and political forces behind one of the most epif films on Palestine. Palestine 36 brings to life the 1936–1939 Arab Revolt against British colonial rule — a pivotal yet often overlooked chapter in Palestinian history that ripples into the present day. Jacir discusses her process of reclaiming suppressed narratives, blending personal memory with archival research, and the challenges of making a sweeping historical drama under the shadow of Israeli occupation. - - - - - Support our work Help us continue our critical, independent coverage of events in Palestine, Israel, and related U.S. politics.

Israel's Man-Made Famine in Gaza and the Collapse of Public Health
Since October 2023, Israel's siege on Gaza has turned food — the most basic human need — into a weapon of war. Today, the entire population is on the brink of famine. Babies are dying. Mothers can't produce milk. And even if food is allowed in, for many, it may already be too late — because refeeding after starvation can be just as deadly. Nearly 800 Palestinians have been killed just trying to access food at the U.S. and Israel have backed a aid network called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation — run by private American military contractors and coordinated with the Israeli army. Instead of relief, these sites have become militarized "death traps" where hungry Palestinian are met gunfire. Our guest is Dr. Yara Asi — a Palestinian public health expert who's been sounding the alarm since the start of this genocide. We talk about the science of famine, the deadly effects of starvation and refeeding, and how Gaza's food system — and its people — are being systematically dismantled. - - - - - Support our work Help us continue our critical, independent coverage of events in Palestine, Israel, and related U.S. politics.

Dr. Assal Rad on the "12-Day War", Western Media and Israel
In this episode, we break down what really happened during the so-called "12-Day War" between Israel, the U.S., and Iran — and why it's not about nuclear weapons. Dr. Assal Rad joins us to speak on the role Israel's need for regional instability, and how Western media coverage obscures the bigger picture: the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the occupation at the heart of every crisis in the region. Because, as Dr. Rad reminds us, nothing in the region will be resolved until Palestinians are free. - - - - - Support our work Help us continue our critical, independent coverage of events in Palestine, Israel, and related U.S. politics.

From Gaza to Iran: How Empire Manufactures War
As Israel bombs Iran, and the threat of U.S. military escalation grows by the hour, the world's attention is being pulled into yet another war that Israel started and the West manufactured. After flattening Gaza and locking down the West Bank Israel has now dragged Iran into open confrontation — and is calling on the U.S. to finish the job. Meanwhile, Trump is back in the headlines, promising not a ceasefire but a "real end" to Iran's nuclear program — even hinting at direct U.S. strikes. But what's really happening here? What does this moment mean for the people of Iran, the Iranian diaspora, for Palestinians, and for all of us fighting the empire from the belly of the beast? Today we're joined by Hoda Katebi, an Iranian-American abolitionist organizer, writer, and educator whose voice cuts through the fog of war. Hoda's work spans garment worker co-ops, anti-surveillance campaigns, radical book clubs, and mutual aid bailouts. She's been featured in Vogue, cited in law journals, and published in Newsweek and Washington Post — all while helping build a movement rooted in dignity and decolonization. In this conversation, Hoda helps us unpack the current moment - from the media lies, colonial playbooks, and the very real dangers Iranians — and Palestinians — are facing right now. And she reminds us that the time to act isn't later. It's right now. - - - - - Support our work Help us continue our critical, independent coverage of events in Palestine, Israel, and related U.S. politics.
