Deep dives
Israeli Genocide in Gaza
The ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, actively supported by the West, aims at forcibly pushing Palestinians into Egypt as part of an ethnic cleansing plan. Technological advancements enable a hyper-Nakba, displacing Palestinians on a massive scale. The US role in providing substantial military aid to Israel further exacerbates the situation, highlighting the complicity of Western countries in the atrocities.
US Involvement and Policies
The US Senate's vote to ban funding for UNRWA, while continuing to supply weapons to Israel, reveals a hypocritical stance. Biden's Freudian slip referring to 'our military operation in Gaza' underscores the deep entanglement of the US in Israeli actions. The US continues to provide significant military support to Israel, undermining its claims of working for peace and protecting civilians.
Surveillance Operations and Espionage
Israel's aggressive surveillance operations, including hacking activities and espionage, extend even to high-level targets in the US. The integration of Israeli intelligence with regional actors and outsourcing of intelligence functions demonstrate a deep infiltration into various countries' security apparatus. The access of assistance and resistance in the region reflect diverging positions on Gaza, revealing intricate dynamics at play.
British Complicity and Backlash
The UK's covert military agreement with Israel and its support through arms exports highlight complicity in the ongoing atrocities. Despite internal debates and criticisms, the UK's military actions and arms sales contribute to the violence in Gaza. Grassroots movements like Palestine Action challenge the political establishment's support for Israel, revealing contradictions and the public's pro-Palestine sentiment amid governmental alignment with oppressive practices.
Rania Khalek was joined by rapper and activist Lowkey to discuss Israel’s genocide in Gaza. He’s also host of 'The Watchdog' podcast on MintPress News.
