8 днів тому43:53

43:53

Najla Said joins Dispatches to talk about Palestine, identity, and the challenges of growing up Arab and American in a country that doesn’t always make space for that kind of hyphenated identity. Najla is an actor and writer who’s used storytelling to explore themes of belonging, displacement, and resistance. She’s also the daughter of Edward Said, one of the most influential intellectuals of our time, whose work and teachings at Columbia University continue to shape how we understand colonialism, culture, and Palestine. But Najla isn’t just carrying on a legacy; she’s carved her own path, speaking with honesty, humor, and heart. In this episode, Najla and Rania Khalek discuss: What it was like growing up as Edward Said’s daughter while trying to fit into a culture that loves Israel and prioritizes its supporters over the trauma of Palestinians. Watching the crackdown on pro-Palestine students at Columbia, a place that felt like home to her family for so many years. Navigating the entertainment industry, which is often hostile to Arab and Palestinian voices. How the genocide in Gaza has reshaped her view of the world, this country, and what’s possible for the future.

How Western Media Manufactures Consent for Repression and War, w/ Assal Rad 46:38

25 днів тому46:38

46:38

Western media has played a central role in justifying and whitewashing Israel’s assault on Gaza—just as it has done in past U.S.-backed wars from Iraq to Syria. Journalists who claim to champion press freedom are silent as activists and students face unprecedented repression for speaking out on Palestine. Why does the media function as a propaganda arm for empire, and how do we push back? Rania Khalek is joined by Assal Rad, a scholar of Modern Middle East History, a non-resident fellow at DAWN, and the author of State of Resistance: Politics, Culture & Identity in Modern Iran, to break it all down.

Syria’s Sectarian Massacres & Media Cover-Ups: What’s the Truth? w/ Elijah Magnier 1:15:29

1:15:29

The past several days have seen horrifying sectarian massacres in Syria. Over 1,000 people have been killed, mostly Alawites and some Christians, in Latakia and Tartus. The perpetrators? Sectarian death squads from HTS, led by Syria’s new president, Mohammed al-Jolani—formerly the leader of Al-Qaeda in Syria. Western media is whitewashing these atrocities, falsely framing them as “revenge” against pro-Assad remnants. But the truth is clear: Syria is now controlled by Salafi jihadists who openly target minorities. How did this happen? What is the reality on the ground? And why is the media complicit in covering up genocide? Veteran war correspondent Elijah Magnier joins Dispatches for a special live episode to break down the facts the media won’t tell you.…

Trump’s people are reshaping the US political system, gutting institutions, while selling scores with all enemies foreign and domestic.

Are we witnessing the collapse of an empire, or simply a reactionary reconfiguration of power? And how should those of us who oppose U.S. imperialism make sense of these contradictions?

How the U.S. Uses ‘Aid’ as Soft Power to Dominate the World w/ Matt Kennard 52:51

8 weeks тому52:51

52:51

For decades, U.S. imperialism has operated not just through military force but through a vast system of economic coercion, media manipulation, and covert operations. The World Bank, IMF, and USAID present themselves as tools of development, but in reality, they enforce American dominance under the guise of aid. Now, with Trump and Musk cutting USAID, many see this as a shift, but in reality, it’s just a restructuring of the empire. What does this tell us about the evolving strategies of imperialism? How does economic warfare, soft power, and media complicity allow the U.S. and its allies to maintain control with minimal backlash? Investigative journalist Matt Kennard, co-founder of Declassified UK and author of The Racket: A Rogue Reporter vs. The American Empire, joins Rania Khalek to expose how U.S. and British intelligence operations, including spy flights over Gaza, are deeply entangled with global imperial control. 🔹 The truth about USAID & soft power 🔹 How the UK secretly enables Israel’s war on Gaza 🔹 U.S. special operations & the role of Keir Starmer 🔹 The media’s complicity in empire’s lies 🔹 What Gaza has exposed about the West 📺 Watch the full episode exclusively on Patreon: Patreon.com/BreakthroughNews 📢 Support independent journalism! 👉 Subscribe and hit the 🔔 to get notified about new episodes 💰 Donate directly on YouTube or support us via Patreon…
