<p><strong>Episode: Tox from Syria</strong></p>
<p>In this episode of the <strong>Stand For P4lest1ne (S4P) Podcast</strong>, we speak with <strong>Tox</strong> from inside Syria about what the post-liberation reality actually looks like on the ground. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}</p>
<p>Tox breaks down the mixed reactions to Jolani’s shift toward Western engagement, the uncertainty facing foreign fighters, and the fear that Syria could slide into another version of Arab authoritarianism under a new name.</p>
<p>We also talk about how Gaza shaped his entire journey (including the Mavi Marmara), why Idlib produced a different generation through hardship and da’wah, and why long-term planning matters more than emotional moments in struggles that last decades.</p>
<p><strong>In this episode:</strong><br>
• Jolani’s shift and how Syrians are reacting<br>
• Islamists vs revolutionaries and the fractures inside the rebellion<br>
• Foreign fighters, citizenship fears, and political pressure<br>
• Arrests, red lines, and freedom of speech in the new Syria<br>
• Gaza’s influence on Tox and the wider Ummah<br>
• Idlib’s youth, education, and community building</p>

In this deep, unfiltered conversation, Ahmed from Propaganda & Co. breaks down why Zoran Mandani’s rise in New York politics isn’t the victory many people think it is. For months, Mandani has been celebrated as a “pro-Palestine mayor,” but Ahmed argues that his early decisions — from discouraging Palestinian chants to reappointing a Zionist police commissioner — reveal a very different story.
This episode dives into the gap between what politicians say and what they do, and why symbolism without substance can be dangerous for movements fighting genocide, state violence, and political repression. We explore how the U.S. political system absorbs and neutralises outsider candidates, how liberal Zionists shape the discourse, and why grassroots pressure remains the only force that ever shifts reality on the ground.
Ahmed also explains the long-term project to make Zionism socially unacceptable again, the fight to preserve the narrative on Gaza, and the role of media, tech companies, and political institutions in erasing evidence of Israeli crimes. This is a raw, necessary discussion for anyone who wants to understand the political moment we’re in — and what comes next.

In this gripping and emotional episode, we sit down with Ustadha Dalya Ayoub - educator, Qur’an mentor, and one of the most trusted voices amplifying Gaza from within - to explore what is really happening on the ground, what the Qur’an teaches us about this moment, and what every Muslim must do in response.
Ustadha Dalya shares never-before-heard stories of the people she speaks to in Gaza every single day:
• the father who buried two sons in the morning and returned to serve his people by the afternoon,
• women who embodied the Qur’an until their final breath,
• entire communities who have lost everything except their iman and certainty in Allah.
Together, we zoom out to the Sunan of Allah - the divine laws that govern hardship, victory, and revival - and how Gaza fits into a much larger Ummatic transformation that is unfolding before our eyes.
And finally, we zoom all the way in to the individual:What is your role? What is your Ummah Project? How do you find it, start it, and anchor it in sincerity and the Qur’an?

In this episode, Dr Yassir Morsi tears apart the illusions we’ve been trained to live under: the “good Muslim” template, the obsession with small‑i Islamophobia while the big machine crushes millions, the trap of therapeutic language used to pacify political rage, and the endless repetition that keeps our community stuck.
A writer, political theorist, and emerging psychologist, Yassir is known for confronting power without flinching. His book Radical Skin, Moderate Masks dissected how the system manufactures Muslim subjecthood — and in this conversation, he sharpens that blade even further. From Gaza to Australia, from campuses to counselling rooms, he explains why Muslim pain is always managed, never addressed… and why the only honest horizon is self‑determination.
This episode is for anyone tired of the hamster wheel, tired of the trap, and ready for a politics that actually speaks to our condition.

In this episode of the Stand For Palestine Podcast, we sit down with Surya McEwen, a pro-Palestinian activist, journalist, and participant in multiple freedom flotillas, including the recent Global Sumud Flotilla that was attacked and intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters while attempting to deliver aid to G4ZA.
Surya shares his firsthand experience, from surviving drone strikes and being arrested to witnessing Israel’s ongoing effort to blockade G4ZA by land, air, and sea.
This is a deeply personal and political conversation that explores:
- What really happened aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla
- How activists were kidnapped, beaten, and imprisoned by Israel
- Why Western governments, including Australia, stayed silent
- The meaning of solidarity, resistance, and decolonisation in the struggle for P4lest1ne
- How everyday people can take action and stand with the movement
This conversation looks beyond headlines to reveal the human cost of courage and the power of people standing together for justice.

In this episode of the Stand for Palestine Podcast, we sit down with Dr Ziad Basyouni — a respected Sydney doctor and former political candidate — for a raw and unfiltered discussion on politics, faith, and the future of the Muslim world.
Dr Ziad reflects on his decision to run for parliament as a form of direct action, challenging both political complacency and blind loyalty within the Muslim community. He explains why Muslims must engage strategically in politics, not as followers of parties, but as people of principle demanding results.
From Egypt’s failed revolution to the pragmatism of Arab regimes and the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Dr Ziad offers a stark assessment of the Muslim world’s current state. He warns against false optimism, arguing that revolutions without ideology are doomed to fail, and that every regime ultimately acts to preserve its own power.
Yet amid the bleakness, he acknowledges a deeper truth — that divine will can overturn worldly logic, and that Gaza’s steadfastness remains proof that resistance endures.
This is a powerful, honest conversation that confronts denial, challenges illusions, and calls for clarity, courage, and accountability in the struggle for justice.

In this episode, we host Assala Sayara (social worker, PhD student, activist, public speaker, and founder and director of Haweyate) to explore what lies at the heart of Palestinian resistance - a struggle between life and death, identity and erasure, justice and injustice.From the psychology of resistance to the questions of Islamic and moral duty, we ask:Why do Palestinians resist?What makes a resistance fighter?Is resistance, even armed resistance, a justified response?And where do we - as an Ummah and global community - stand between condemnation and justification?This conversation dives deep into the human reality of resistance, moving beyond headlines and soundbites to uncover the identity, dignity, and duty that shape the Palestinian struggle.Follow Assala’s work: https://www.instagram.com/assalasayara/https://www.instagram.com/haweyate/Follow Stand4Palestine's Work:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stand4palestineaus/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stand4palestineausWhatsApp: bit.ly/S4P_WA
