🔥 Tony Greenstein: From Labour Expulsion to Terror Charges — What the Media Won’t Tell YouIn this explosive and frank conversation, I sit down with veteran activist Tony Greenstein—co-founder of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, long-time anti-Zionist, and a relentless critic of both Israeli apartheid and British political cowardice.Tony walks us through his journey:→ From being expelled from the Labour Party for what he says were trumped-up antisemitism charges...→ To facing a suspended prison sentence for his role in a Palestine Action protest targeting Elbit Systems, an Israeli arms manufacturer operating in the UK...→ To being charged under the UK Terrorism Act for a single tweet deemed supportive of Hamas.We talk political witch-hunts, Zionism as state ideology, the silencing of dissent in the UK, and why the crackdown on voices like Tony’s is not just about Palestine—it’s about democracy, truth, and the price of speaking out.🔥 If you're tired of the media echo chamber and want unfiltered, high-voltage perspectives—this one's for you.—📖 Tony's new book is out.

⚠️ Today’s guest is someone who needs little introduction if you've ever scratched beneath the surface of Israeli history — Professor Ilan Pappé.🗓️ We recorded this conversation on a day loaded with symbolism:June 8 — the anniversary of the USS Liberty attack — an infamous case of “friendly fire” that killed 34 American sailors and was quickly buried by both Tel Aviv 🇮🇱 and Washington 🇺🇸.💣 But while that incident served as our starting point, this interview quickly shifts to something far more personal, more devastating — and far more suppressed:🕯️ The Tantura Massacre.Why Tantura? Because it didn’t just reshape Ilan’s research.It shattered his assumptions, ruptured his professional standing — and ultimately forced him into exile.🧠 The day he chose to believe the survivors — rather than the state’s official narrative — was the day he crossed a line that most Israeli academics wouldn’t dare approach.🌍 Tantura isn’t just a village erased from the map. It’s a microcosm of the Nakba.Of historical amnesia.Of the violent price of remembering.🎙️ This conversation builds on testimonies I personally recorded in Amman 🇯🇴 and Germany 🇩🇪 — with two Tantura survivors — and it converges here, with Ilan’s powerful archival and moral investigation.⚠️ So if you're tired of the sanitized history told in textbooks — or buried by state agendas — stay with us.This isn't just about the past.It’s about memory 🧾, complicity 🤐, and courage 🧭.Time Stamps:00:00 Intro03:55 USS Liberty incident13:15 Silencing critical voices16:40 The end of the Zionist project24:50 Europes complicity and silence31:30 Hidden motives39:50 Tantura47:15 Repercussions for researchers57:50 Gideon, the fallen Israeli soldier59:20 Tantura the documentary01:06:50 Denialism01:08:15 Victims and witness of war crimes01:11:01 Whats nextSend us a textDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.

Colonel Larry Wilkerson: “This Wasn’t Preemption. This Was an Execution.”On June 13, 2025, Israel launched a surprise military strike on Iran. The world was told it was preemptive. But what if it wasn’t? What if the war was staged—planned years ago, executed through deception, and green-lit by the very powers claiming restraint?In this explosive interview, Col. Larry Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, joins us as the bombs fell—to break down the intelligence, the media complicity, and the chilling historical playbook being followed to the letter.We discuss:Why this was never about nukesThe months-long US-Israeli disinformation campaignHow Netanyahu pretended to vacation to bait Iran’s top brassWhy false flags like the USS Liberty and Gulf of Tonkin still matterThe chilling relevance of Brookings’ Which Path to PersiaAnd why Wilkerson fears we’re watching Iraq 2.0—but nuclear“He helped prepare the case for war in Iraq—and he watched it unravel.

In a deep dive into psychological warfare, the discussion reveals how Israel's preemptive strike on Iran was not just military but a masterclass in deception. The elaborate narrative created by Netanyahu and Trump distorted global perceptions and highlighted the stark collapse of trust between nations. They explore the implications of a nuclear-capable Iran and the alarming potential for a regional or global crisis. The podcast unpacks how perceptions in international politics are weaponized and why understanding these dynamics is crucial now more than ever.

⚠️ WAR HAS BEGUN: On June 13th, Israel launched a massive preemptive strike on Iran — killing top commanders, bombing nuclear sites, and triggering a regional cascade that could spiral into full-scale war.In this explosive episode, we break down Operation Rising Lion — the most aggressive Israeli military campaign since the 1980s — and the immediate Iranian retaliation that followed. With over 200 fighter jets striking 100+ targets and Iran launching waves of drones in response, the Middle East is once again on a knife’s edge.But this isn't just a military story — it's a media and narrative war.🔍 Why is the Western press still pretending the U.S. is a bystander?🔍 What role did nuclear diplomacy sabotage play behind the scenes?🔍 And who actually benefits from this "preemptive" chaos?We expose the disinformation, the economic tremors, and the cynical timing — just days before a new round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks.🎯 This isn’t about Iran having a bomb. It’s about Israel dropping the narrative it couldn’t win — and replacing it with missiles.🧠 Dive deeper on Substack for the full investigation: https://karat.substack.com👉 Subscribe for real analysis — not recycled talking points.📢 Comment below — I read everything.🔔 Hit the bell so you don’t miss what comes next.
