As usual on Mondays, we focus the entirety of our show on the latest developments in Israel’s war on Palestine, and people’s resistance to that aggression.
Discussing the latest figures, the status of an in-progress truce deal, and the cutting of UNWRA funding by the US and other wealthy countries, we are joined by Khury Peterson-Smith, Michael Ratner Middle East Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, where he researches US empire, borders, and migration.

Then, we follow up on the Defense for Children International – Palestine v. Biden court case, where a federal judge dismissed the case but with language that agreed that Israel’s violence seems to equate to a genocide, and urges the government to stop its “unflagging support” of Israel’s war machine. We’re in conversation with Maria LaHood, one of the lawyers with the Center for Constitutional Rights who is working on this court case. Maria has championed this work for decades, having been involved in the Rachel Corrie legal case in the mid 2000s.
