  When Propaganda Becomes "Truth"

  Oct 9, 202618 minS0

  <p>Attempting to brand Israel's war against Hamas a “genocide,” while Israel fights an organisation that openly calls for its destruction, may go down as one of the most successful propaganda campaigns of our lifetime.</p><p>But how do supposedly serious people—politicians, journalists, human rights organisations, and international institutions—come to repeat accusations that deserve far greater scrutiny?</p><p>In this episode, I examine how propaganda acquires legitimacy through a self-reinforcing system of institutional citations. A UN Special Rapporteur makes an allegation. An NGO cites the Rapporteur. A newspaper cites the NGO. A politician cites the newspaper and the...

  The UN Agency Keeping the Israel-Palestine Conflict Alive

  Oct 9, 202619 minS0

  <p>For more than seven decades, a United Nations agency created as a temporary humanitarian organisation has become a permanent fixture of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But what if the institution established to help Palestinian refugees has also helped perpetuate the very problem it was supposed to resolve?</p><p>Unlike refugees elsewhere in the world, Palestinians are served by a separate UN agency: UNRWA. Its unique system has allowed refugee registration to pass from generation to generation, leaving millions of descendants of the original refugees registered under its mandate.</p><p>In this episode, I examine the history of UNRWA...

  What Happens When Islam Starts Shaping Society?

  Oct 9, 202619 minS0

  <p>What happens when Islam begins to shape a society? We don't have to imagine the answer. We can look at societies where Islamic ideology has already become the foundation of political and social life.</p><p>Across much of the Islamic world, the consequences are visible in restrictions on freedom of speech, the persecution of religious dissenters, the treatment of women, and the criminalisation of homosexuality. These are not merely unfortunate political accidents. They raise fundamental questions about the relationship between Islamic doctrine and the freedoms that Western civilisation has fought to establish.</p><p>In this episode, I...

  The Silence on Iran Exposed Everything

  Oct 9, 202618 minS0

  <p>For years, the “Free Palestine” movement has presented itself as a global struggle for justice, human rights, and the oppressed. But when the Iranian people rose against the Islamic regime, something remarkable happened: much of the outrage that had filled Western streets and social media suddenly disappeared.</p><p>Where were the demonstrations? Where were the celebrities, activists, and politicians who had spent years demanding that the world speak up against oppression?</p><p>In this episode, I examine what the silence surrounding Iran reveals about the priorities of the pro-Palestine movement, the ideological alliances behind it, and the diff...
