TWIP-251228 Gaza, Power, and the Hidden Map: What This War Is Really About

Today, we begin with a question that cuts deeper than headlines: What is the war on Gaza really about? They want you to believe it’s religious. They want you to believe it’s ancient hatred or a sudden eruption of violence. But look closer. Think deeper. Because nothing about this war feels spontaneous, accidental, or purely reactive. Was this truly a retaliation for October 7th— or was October 7th the spark that activated a plan already drawn in the shadows...

TWIP-251221 Beyond the Margins: The Architecture of Erasure

Today, we begin with honesty. We are witnessing an architecture of erasure, a project where history is rewritten with bulldozers and bombs. The world watches; some in silence, others in open complicity. But here, on this program, we refuse silence. We ask the question the world keeps avoiding: How long must a people suffer before their humanity is finally recognized as sacred. To help us peel back the layers of this crisis, we’re bringing you a rare meeting...

TWIP-251214 Palestine: Naming the Violence, Honoring the Resistance, Exposing the Enablers

This collection of words, testimonies, and scripts is not simply a broadcast—it is a record of truth. Today we traced the crimes of settlers in the West Bank, the genocide unfolding in Gaza, and the silence of governments that enable Israel’s destruction. We named Zionism for what it is: an ideology of erasure, a system of violence that has brought misery and insecurity to millions. We remembered the fallen children like Hind Rajab, doctors who healed under fire, journalists who carrie...

TWIP-251207 Skyscrapers Over Rubble: Trump’s Gaza Vision and the Voices That Refuse Silence

As always, we turn our gaze to Gaza. not only to the bombs that fell, not only to the ceasefire that never came, but to the plans whispered in Washington and echoed by Donald Trump. Trump’s vision for Gaza is not peace. It is profit. It is reconstruction for investors, skyscrapers rising over rubble, contracts signed over graves. And he is not alone. He is supported by guarantor states that remained silent, by senators like Ted Cruz who cl...

TWIP-251130 Stolen Lands, Living Resistance: Indigenous Peoples and Palestinians in Solidarity.

The 56th Annual National Day of Mourning – Plymouth, MA The 56th Annual National Day of Mourning was held on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2025, at Cole’s Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Since 1970, Indigenous people and allies have gathered here each year to mourn ancestors lost to colonization and to challenge the myth of Pilgrims and Native harmony. The tradition began when Wamsutta Frank James of the Wampanoag Nation was prevented from delivering a speech that told the truth about genoc...

TWIP-251123 Neighbors, Narratives, and the Truth of Palestine

Today, we turn our attention not to headlines, but to the human question of neighborliness. Too often, Palestinians are spoken of as if they are unworthy reduced to caricatures, painted as “bad neighbors,” or dismissed as a threat. Cities like Dearborn, Michigan, with its vibrant Arab and Palestinian community, are stigmatized as places of hostility rather than celebrated as centers of resilience and care. But what does it truly mean to have a Palestinian as a neighbor? Would they throw trash...

TWIP-251116 Sixty Flags Over Gaza: The Global Complicity in Genocide

Sixty Flags Over Gaza: The Global Complicity in Genocide Today, we begin with a question that refuses to die: Why has the world ganged up on Palestine? Why have more than sixty countries—powerful, wealthy, and self-proclaimed defenders of human rights—lined up behind Israel as it wages a campaign of annihilation against a besieged, stateless people? This is not just war. This is genocide. And it is not being committed in isolation. It is being funded, armed, and politically shielded by a glo...

TWIP-251109 From New York to Palestine: A Shift in Power, A Reckoning with History

Before we begin today’s episode of This Week in Palestine, we must pause to mark a political moment that reverberates far beyond city limits. Zohran Mamdani has just been elected mayor of New York City—a victory that defies precedent, expectation, and the machinery of power itself. He didn’t just win an election. He dismantled a narrative. Mamdani defeated billionaires, lobbyists, and even the sitting president’s preferred candidate. He did so not by softening his stance, but by sharpen...

TWIP-251102 Truth on Trial: Zionism, Antisemitism, and the Silencing of Palestine

Antisemitism has long been a real and dangerous form of hatred—but today, Zionist institutions increasingly weaponize the term to silence Palestinian advocacy and discredit righteous voices calling for justice. This introduction explores how that distortion works, and why it matters. Let’s begin with clarity. Antisemitism is real. It is a centuries-old hatred that has led to unspeakable violence, discrimination, and genocide—most horrifically in the Holocaust. It must be condemned wherever it...

TWIP-251026 The Cost of Truth and the Struggle for justice in Palestine!

Today’s episode is a reckoning. A reflection. A refusal to forget. We begin with the cost of truth. Not the abstract kind. But the kind paid in blood, in exile, in silence shattered by airstrikes. The kind carried by journalists who filmed through rubble, by families who buried their children, by voices that refused to be erased. We bring you the words of Norman Finkelstein—scholar, son of Holocaust survivors, and lifelong defender of Palestinian rights. His recent speech at the Islamic Cente...

Today’s episode is not just a broadcast. It’s a reckoning. It’s a memorial. It’s a refusal to forget. We begin with the names of journalists—those who stood between the world and the abyss, armed only with cameras, microphones, and the audacity to document genocide. Saleh Aljafarawi. Mohammad Al-Salhi. Ibrahim Lafi. Saeed Al-Taweel. Salam Mema. Roshdi Sarraj. Samer Abudaqa. Mohammed Qreiqeh. Ismail Alghool. And the ...

TWIP-251012 The Ceasefire Deal: A Turning Point or a Tactical Pause?

After two years of relentless war, staggering loss, and global outrage, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has taken effect. Brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump and shaped through negotiations in Egypt, Qatar, and the UN, this deal marks the first phase of a 20-point framework aimed at halting violence in Gaza and initiating resolution. The immediate terms: cessation of hostilities, release of Israeli hostages, freeing of nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, and partial withdra...

TWIP-251005 "Truth Has a Cost. So Does Silence."

There is a chasm—wide and unforgiving—between those who speak truth at great personal cost and those who hide behind titles, paychecks, and polite silence. In every generation, we are given a choice: to stand with justice, even when it threatens our comfort, or to retreat into the safety of complicity, hoping history won’t notice. Brave people do not wait for permission. They do not ask whether it’s convenient. They speak because silence is betrayal. These are the whistleblowers, the journali...

TWIP-250914 AIPAC: Corruption, Control, and the Crisis of American Democracy

In the halls of Congress, where policy is supposed to reflect the will of the people, a shadow looms large—one cast not by voters, but by lobbyists. At the center of this influence stands the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a lobbying powerhouse whose reach has transformed the landscape of U.S. politics. While AIPAC presents itself as a bipartisan advocate for strong U.S.-Israel relations, its tactics reveal a deeper, more troubling reality: a system of political coercion, f...

TWIP-250907 Did you know that Jesus is Palestinian?

The history of the Palestinian people is deeply rooted in the sacred texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In the Torah and Bible, the land now known as Palestine was home to ancient Semitic peoples—Canaanites, Philistines, and Israelites—whose cultures, languages, and traditions shaped the region long before the rise of modern nation-states. Cities like Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Hebron are central to biblical narratives and were inhabited by ancestors of today’s Palestinians. Many of th...

TWIP-250831 The term antisemitism has become a political weapon!!

To Benjamin Netanyahu, the term antisemitism has become a political weapon—used not to protect Jewish communities from genuine hate, but to silence criticism of Israel’s policies, especially its military aggression and apartheid system. In recent years, Netanyahu has labeled international prosecutors, student protesters, and even heads of state as “antisemites” simply for condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza or supporting Palestinian statehood. This rhetorical strategy conflates Judaism with Z...

TWIP-250824 Dr. Farah El-Sharif cuts through the fog of diplomacy and exposes the raw truth about Arab and Muslim regimes and their betrayal of Palestine.

TWIP-250824 Over the past century, Arab regimes have repeatedly failed the Palestinian people—through broken promises, political calculations, and a deepening alignment with Western and Israeli interests. The betrayal began in 1948, when seven Arab states declared war on the newly formed Israeli state but were swiftly defeated. That military failure exposed not only strategic weakness but also a lack of genuine commitment to Palestinian liberation. The 1967 Six-Day War was another turning poi...
