Blind Faith: How the West Loses Its Moral Compass on Israel | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani

In this episode of Palestine This Week, we unpack the West’s blind faith in Israel, a belief so entrenched it overrides law, morality, and truth itself. From The Washington Post’s exposé on how the US shields Israel from accountability to the horrific Sde Teiman prison scandal, Sudan’s genocide, and drones tested on Palestinians now policing American streets — we trace the web of complicity that sustains a global system of impunity. As Western leaders cling to comforting delusio...

Two years into genocide — Israel’s pillars are crumbling | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani

Two years into Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza, nearly 70,000 Palestinians are dead, most of them civilians. Despite the unprecedented destruction, Israel has failed to defeat Hamas or secure the release of hostages — the very goals it claimed justified its campaign. As negotiations take place in Cairo, this episode asks: why has Israel’s war dragged on, and what has it really achieved? From crumbling international support to cracks within Zionism itself, we explore how the pillars on whic...

Trump’s Gaza Plan: A High-Tech Experiment in Global Serfdom | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbanid Episode

In this episode, we dive into Donald Trump’s so-called Gaza “Peace Plan,” a proposal that, beneath the surface, looks less like a path to peace and more like a high-tech experiment in subjugation. Gaza has long been treated as a testing ground, from weapons that are later marketed as “battle-tested” to political experiments imposed from the outside. Now, with Trump’s plan and the Jared Kushner-Tony Blair blueprint, the stage is being set for something even more far-reaching: a model of techno...

The ‘GREAT’ Plot to Monetise Gaza Genocide | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani
