Episodes

Ep01: Foreigners In Their Ancestral Homeland

This episode highlights the second-class status of the indigenous Palestinian minority living in Israel. It’s important for Americans to understand that Israeli law and policy privileges Jews at the expense of Palestinians, and constitutionally distinguishes between citizenship and nationality. This is not a regime that resonates with us, and this episode will explain why. [Watch & Learn More Here]

 

Ep02: Home Demolitions: Politics of Dispossession

This episode explains the illegal nature and effect of Israel’s policy of home demolition in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. The military regime in the West Bank has negatively impacted the daily lives of Palestinians, the draconian home demolition policy is one example. Imagine living in a home that you built, just to have it destroyed because of who you are? No American would accept those living conditions, and we shouldn’t accept it for Palestinians. [Watch & Learn More Here]

 

Ep03: Separate & Unequal: Israel’s Discriminatory Dual Legal System

This episode focuses on Israel’s discriminatory legal structure in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, wherein Palestinians are governed under military laws and regulations and Jewish settlers under Israeli civil laws. The result is two unequal national communities living on the same land. This dual legal regime is uplifted by a sympathetic court system that is designed to maintain the Zionist paradigm, which necessitates Jewish supremacy. As Americans, we understand the concept of equality and human rights, so why do we allow our government to give our tax dollars to maintain a regime of inequality? This video should inspire all of us to demand full equality for Palestinians and put an end to Israeli Apartheid. [Watch & Learn More Here]

 

Ep04: The Reality of Israeli Apartheid

This episode focuses on Israeli Apartheid, specifically Israel’s policy of racial domination within its internationally recognized borders. The existence of apartheid is one of a degree. It exists by way of siege and blockade in Gaza, closures, walls, checkpoints, and other elements that infringe on basic rights and freedoms in the West Bank, home demolitions and dispossession in East Jerusalem, and a series of discriminatory laws in modern-day Israel. This video will highlight the latter, and demonstrate Israel’s intention of maintaining a regime of racial domination. [Watch & Learn More Here]

 

Season 2

Season 2 | Ep01: The International Criminal Court: A Path to Israeli Accountability

This episode focuses on the role of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Palestine’s relationship with the court, and Israeli accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Palestinian rights should no longer be an exception in our accountability discourse. The episode also highlights the hypocrisy of the US position on the ICC, and Israel’s attempt to hide from accountability. As Americans who believe in democracy and equality, we must demand universal accountability, and Israel is no exception. [Watch & Learn More Here]
