Bogan Intelligentsia Ep. 28: Palestinian Activist Ahmed Alabadla on Gaza and Palestinian Recognition

Description:
In Episode 28 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we’re joined by Ahmed Alabadla, a Palestinian activist bearing witness to Gaza's unbreakable spirit amid occupation and genocide. Ahmed vividly recalls Gaza's pre-October 7th vibrancy and the societal machinery under siege, then mourns Gaza City's historic obliteration and its dire portents for Palestinian survival. He reveals the genocide's boomerang on Israel—workforce collapse, investment flight, protests, and elite whispers of state peril. Delving into Palestinian resistance's grassroots coordination in Gaza, the West Bank, and with Hezbollah, Ahmed contrasts it against the IDF's police-apartheid setup, woefully unready for clashes with Egypt, Turkey, Saudi-Pak alliances, or Iran-fueled wars hinging on U.S. crutches. We unpack Israel's biblical fever—Greater Israel dreams, red heifers, the messiah, and Amalek—and whether it's divine delusion or Netanyahu's desperate dodge. Ahmed indicts Biden's enabling and Trump's venomous escalation: Rubio-Huckabee-Witkoff zeal, fake peace traps, redevelopment delusions, and a Congress (250+ Jerusalem-bound) locking in absolutism. Is BDS the silver bullet for homeland restoration, and Australia's Palestine nod a watershed or window dressing? This 60-minute episode is a searing summons to solidarity and strategy.
