On our weekly roundup of news from and about Palestine, today’s show starts with a conversation on the current political moment and Trump appointees in Israel with Phyllis Bennis, a Middle East analyst and directs the New Internationalism Project at the Institute for Policy Studies.
Then, we speak with Amanda Gelender, a Jewish anti-zionist organizer and writer from the Bay Area, currently based in the Netherlands, about zionist street fights in Amsterdam that followed a Netherlands vs Israel soccer match. In the fallout of the fighting, a group that was defending their communities from zionist violence has been charged with false accusations of anti-semitism. Amanda Gelender’s latest writing is called “Hamasterdam and the “Antisemitic Pogrom” That Never Was” and you can read it here: https://agelender.substack.com/p/hamasterdam-and-the-antisemitic-pogrom.
Then, a follow up with the Palestinian Youth Movement’s Mask Off Maersk campaign, which recently experienced the success of Spain refusing to allow Maersk ships to dock after PYM was involved in publishing information about Maersk’s use of Spanish ports to dock US military equipment headed for Israel. We speak with Voulette Hattar, an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement, based in the East Bay.
