Genocide Infection

Amidst the death and destruction Israel-USA has wrought in its genocidal war on Gaza, infectious disease now plagues the besieged enclave – diseases few if any drugs can treat. We speak with the author of a recent Lancet report — Multidrug-resistant bacteria amid health-system collapse in Gaza.


Cold as ICE

They’re as cold as ICE. As US-backed Israeli forces terrorize Gaza, reducing the long-besieged enclave to rubble, smashing its people to bits, Donald Trump’s masked, plain-clothed, paramilitary militia terrorize black, brown and Latino communities coast to coast. The GPM speaks with antiwar/justice group CODEPINK. And, two dozen Canadian Senators call for a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel. We speak with one of them.


Island of Hope in a Sea of Oppression

In brutalized Palestine — an oasis of liberation and hope. The GPM speaks with Mazin Qumsiyeh, founder/director of the Palestine Institute for Biodiversity & Sustainability. And, fainter hope – that Western leaders will bring depraved Israeli crimes to a halt. Look to Europe, not Israel’s conjoined twin, Israel-USA. Europe is where the Zionist mess began. So says Israeli historian Ilan Pappe.


War on American Greatness

In defense of uniformity, inequity and exclusion, Donald Trump and his White-America-First regime are waging war on what makes America great — diversity, equity and inclusiveness. ‘DEI’ programs and initiatives across the US government, public and private sectors are being rooted out. We speak about Trump’s first 180 days in the White House with American scholar and writer, Dorothy Roberts.


Criminal Kingpins

Criminal arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant; more charges and warrants in the pipeline. A conversation about the ICC with British barrister Toby Cadman. And, a conversation with Francesca Albanese, about US-Israeli crimes, impunity, and justice



Deny & Condone

Israel is an Apartheid State, four US legal scholars say. The GPM speaks with one of them, Boston University scholar Susan Akram. And, Israeli genocide: denying it while condoning it. American literary critic Saree Makdisi talks about Western intellectual subterfuge, and the erasure of the Palestinian people.


Naming Crimes

Israel-USA’s genocidal war on Gaza enters its 21st month. The most influential Western states wring their hands and mouth empty words about peace, while continuing to sell weapons to Israel. And they refuse to name Israel’s crimes. British legal scholar Penny Green talks about this, and about an innovative Israel combat aim: creating a population of disabled people.


Crippling Those Who Survive

Israel-USA’s genocidal war on Gaza enters its 21st month. The most influential Western states wring their hands, mouth empty words about peace, and continue to sell weapons to Israel. At a People’s Tribunal, late last month, a pair of doctors described what they witnessed at Gaza’s hospitals — all but destroyed by US, German and British bombs, missiles, and tank rounds — and a British legal scholar shines a light on an innovative Israel combat aim: creating a population of disabling people.



Sex Is Complex

Transgender rights versus  women’s rights, and last week’s landmark British Supreme Court ruling on what the words “woman” and “sex” mean. The GPM speaks with Canadian human rights lawyer Robert Wintemute, author of a soon-to-be-released book entitled “Transgender Rights vs. Women’s Rights: From Conflicts to Coexistence.”


Planet in Polycrisis

Self-amplifying cascades on planet Earth – some negative, some positive. A conversation with complexity theorist Thomas Homer-Dixon. And, Earth systems can tip, cascading off in dangerous directions. Some already are. A conversation with one of the authors of an international report on Earth tipping points.


Stamping It Out

Gender-based Israeli violence, extermination and genocide in Gaza. A new report from the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory. A conversation about Israel’s war on Gaza with Middle East affairs commentator Mouin Rabbani. And, human rights abuse and corporate takeover in the United States. A conversation with one of the authors of another UN report.


Activist Arrested, Gets To Talk About It

Montreal-based author and guerilla-style political provocateur Yves Engler talks about his recent arrest and subsequent imprisonment in Montreal’s Bordeaux Prison (something police originally tried to block him from doing), and what he’d rather talk about than his five days and four nights of forcible confinement. And, another Canadian’s account of the funeral of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, brutally assassinated by apartheid Israel. Another conversation with Dimitri Lascaris


Ivory Tower Bans Free Speech

The Ivory Tower Bans Free Speech. Exiled Students Take Columbia University to Court. The GPM speaks with Catherine Curran-Groome about her court case — Catherine Curran-Groome, Brandon Murphy and Aidan Parisi vs. Columbia University, at the New York State Supreme Court.
