Episode notes
Many States Enable The Gaza Genocide
- Francesca Albanese documents 63 states that have facilitated Israel's campaign through diplomatic, military, and economic channels.
- She argues this collective support enabled a transformation of occupation into genocide and globalized impunity.
Ceasefire Is A Political Façade
- Albanese says the announced ceasefire is a political distraction while bombardment and siege continue.
- She highlights continued killings, starvation, and Israel's control over over half of Gaza as evidence there is no real peace.
Greater Israel As Nonterritorial Domination
- Albanese links Israel's goals to a 'Greater Israel' concept exercised through domination and external control rather than territorial conquest.
- She connects this project to US imperial designs that treat Palestinians as a barrier to regional domination.
