Tara Alami

Guest Tara Alami discusses media misrepresentations and propaganda surrounding the ongoing bombardment of Gaza. The podcast explores the biased portrayal of the Israel-Gaza conflict in Western media, the suppression of Palestinian voices, the dehumanization of Palestinians, the historical conditions and resistance in Palestine, the repression of solidarity protests in Germany, and the importance of seeking alternative sources of information on Palestine.

Tara Alami, a Palestinian writer and researcher, shares her insights on Jordan's role in the U.S.-led imperial system. She delves into her family's history amidst the Palestinian exodus and explores the challenges faced by marginalized communities in Jordan. The conversation shifts to the implications of Jordan's monarchy, its portrayal of Palestinian identity, and the impact of foreign influences. Alami critiques the custodianship of al-Aqsa and highlights the historical interplay of U.S. imperialism with Jordanian politics and society.
