01/18/24 • 15 min

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.

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.
