A conversation about Palestine-Israel with Dutch-Palestinian commentator Mouin Rabbani. The GPM met up with Rabbani in The Hague for an extended discussion about Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, the Palestinian people’s depleted, divided and leaderless ‘national liberation movement’, the much-touted ‘Axis of Resistance’, and about what the future holds – for the Palestinian people, Israel and the wider Middle East.

The GPM speaks about this, and more, with CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin. And, why does Germany criminalize pro-Palestine discourse? It’s not about Auschwitz, it’s about NATO. The GPM speaks with Wieland Hoban, Chairman of Germany’s Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Middle East — Jüdische Stimme.

Israel’s 57-year military occupation of Palestine is unlawful, the World Court rules, and must come to end. Will Israel abide by the ruling? Will countries like Canada enforce it? Washington certainly won’t. The GPM speaks about Canada’s response with Ottawa commentator Peter Larson. And, perpetual occupation of other people’s lands is an activity the US supports, defends and engages in, all around the world. The GPM speaks with United States of War author David Vine.

Killing the future in Gaza. Reducing it to rubble. Forcibly transferring its people into filthy tent camps, or onto the street. Starving them. Hunger and disease go hand in hand.

Some thought it would never happen. This past week it did: criminal charges against Israeli leaders at the International Criminal Court, in The Hague. Israeli leaders can kiss their overseas travel plans goodbye. Days earlier, the International Court of Justice ordered it to halt its assault on the southern Gaza city, Rafah — an order Israel is now defying, with US and British backing. Which does international law serve – power or justice? What difference does it make? The GPM speaks with three international law and human rights scholars — Toby Cadman, William Schabas and Michael Lynk.

European governments try to stop a Palestinian surgeon from talking about Israeli ultra-violence – and fail. No one seeks to stamp out free speech more zealously than the Germans. How to explain the passionate attachment Western powers have for the State of Israel? It’s not what you’d think, says an Anglo-German Jewish activist.

Dutch students and staff stand up for Gaza at a university gathering, and get a hearing. Free speech in the Netherlands? Just for show, protesters say. Weeks later, peaceful campus encampments are broken up by riot police, called in by university officials. Protesters persevere, the university relents – so it seems. Democracy in the Netherlands? Maybe. The GPM covers pro-Palestine protest at Utrecht University.
