The Owen Jones Podcast
Owen Jones
Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted.

Debunked: 'Human Shields' Gaza Claim
The Owen Jones Podcast
01/18/24 • 14 min
'Human shields' - you'll have heard those words spoken a lot by Israeli spokespeople and their apologists. The aim? To make you think that the catastrophic death toll isn't the fault of Israel at all.
But not only does the evidence completely destroy the narrative - it actually shows the Israeli state has a far worse record of using Palestinian civilians as human shields.

Those Silent On Gaza Must Be Shamed
The Owen Jones Podcast
01/18/24 • 15 min
While those still cheering on the massacre of Gaza should be treated as morally depraved beyond reason, what of those still silent? No excuses anymore. It's time to shame these people - this is about life and death on a colossal scale.

This Israeli Peace Activist Must Be Heard - w/ Dana Mills
The Owen Jones Podcast
01/18/24 • 42 min
We desperately need to elevate the voices of courageous Israeli peace activists - without them, there is little hope - and so it was an honour to interview Dana Mills. She's an author and writer, and here she discusses the trauma of 7th October, the grim atmosphere facing Israeli peace activists, the horrors unleashed on the Palestinian people, the terrifying plans of the Israeli right - and what happens next.
We also discuss what German-Polish revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg - Dana Mills.is her biographer - would have made of all this.

Rishi Sunak's Dangerous Gaza Jibe Taken Down By Zarah Sultana
The Owen Jones Podcast
01/18/24 • 15 min
This is dangerous stuff. When Zarah Sultana - one of the few Labour MPs taking a courageous stance over Gaza - spoke in Parliament, Tory PM Rishi Sunak and his sidekick made a truly grim jibe.
Zarah Sultana joins me to talk about how dangerous racist rhetoric is used to shut down solidarity with Palestinians, how the atmosphere is getting worse - and how she's taking on Israeli arms sales.

Israel Genocide Case: What Will The ICJ Likely Rule? - w/ Dr. Alonso Gurmendi
The Owen Jones Podcast
01/18/24 • 37 min
This week South Africa presented a devastating case against Israel at The Hague alleging genocide - and then Israel offered its defence. So what will the International Court of Justice likely rule?
This is such an important interview with Dr. Alonso Gurmendi. He says "the Master's tools will not dismantle the Master's house." He cautions those expecting the ICJ to issue a definitive ruling on genocide - but explains the real significance of what has just happened.

Israeli Spokesperson Rattled And On The Ropes - Mark Regev Finally Under Pressure
The Owen Jones Podcast
01/18/24 • 15 min
Mark Regev is the slick PR man for Israel's mass slaughter of Gaza. Normally he's used to walking all over journalists who are pliable, ill informed, weak and not up to their job. So it's refreshing to hear LBC's Lewis Goodall actually put him on the spot - and Regev left flustered.
Here, too, is more facts which shred the false narrative Regev keeps trying to build.

Joe Biden Exposes Nauseating Contempt For Palestinian Life
The Owen Jones Podcast
01/18/24 • 12 min
Joe Biden isn't even bothering to pretend anymore. He's exposed his contempt for Palestinian life - and as I show here, that's no surprise given his history, and Netanyahu's boasting of running rings around the US.
