Celebrated historian Avi Shlaim, once a committed Zionist, reveals the personal and historical journey that led him to reject the ideology. From his childhood as an Arab Jew in Iraq to his response to the genocide in Gaza, Shlaim dismantles long-held myths about Israel’s creation.

He also exposes how he has been largely excluded from interviews on the mainstream media throughout the duration of the genocide.

Genocide in Gaza: Israel’s Long War on Palestine is published by The Irish Pages Press. The book can be ordered directly at the publisher’s website.

In the discussion about the media in Britain, Avi stated that he has not been interviewed by the BBC. He was referring to the BBC in mainland Britain, but would like to clarify that BBC Northern Ireland interviewed him in 2025 for the Radio Ulster TalkBack programme with William Crawley.

“Between the Sword and the Neck” Educator and editor Hazem Jamjoum offers a fresh reading of the work of Ghassan Kanafani amid Israel’s ongoing genocide on Palestinians in Gaza.

Ghassan Kanafani (1936-1972) is widely known as one of the great Arab novelists of the 20th century. His ability to use simple, almost mundane stories to speak to the human experience of colonialism and freedom in novels like ‘Men in the Sun’ and ‘Returning to Haifa’ continue to teach those who read them.

But Kanafani was more than a novelist, he was also a key political thinker, strategist and revolutionary whose analysis of Zionism and imperialism continues to inform and shape anti-colonial thought across the globe today.

Hazem Jamjoum is a Palestinian educator and an editor with the recently-established publishing house Safarjal Press. His translation of Ghassan Kanafani's The Revolution of 1936-1939 in Palestine was published by 1804 Press in 2023, and his translation of Maya Abu al-Hayyat's No One Knows their Blood Type was released by the CSU Poetry Center in October 2024.

Mark Seddon exposes how for over a year now the UN has been effectively powerless at stopping Israel's genocide on Gaza, illuminating the limitations of António Guterres' leadership as Secretary General and also highlighting the UN's weak attempts to get aid into Gaza.

He also exposes Israel's ongoing war against UNRWA and explains the process of how Israel could well be expelled from the UN while offering his perspective on whether the UN is indeed a dying institution.

Mark Seddon is a former UN Correspondent for Al Jazeera English TV and Editor of Tribune magazine. He has also worked as a Speechwriter for former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. He is now director of UN Studies at the University of Buckingham.

“Israel aims to cancel and erase Palestinian life!” UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, and director of Forensic Architecture, Eyal Weizman, expose the mechanics of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Speaking to Palestinian journalist from Gaza, Ahmed Alnaouq, Francesca references her new UN report titled “Genocide as Colonial Erasure”, which documents how Israel is wielding its genocide as part of a broader, systematic and intentional state-organised forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians.

A new 800 page report published by Forensic Architecture titled “A Spatial Analysis of the Israeli Military’s Conduct in Gaza since October 2023”, uses innovative digital technology to illustrate Israel’s wholesale destruction of the Gaza Strip which has left “no safe place” for Palestinians under siege and bombardment, according to director Eyal Weizman.

A groundbreaking new Al Jazeera documentary exposes the horrific war crimes and sadistic activities carried out by Israeli soldiers during its ongoing genocide in Gaza over the last year and reveals the identities of the perpetrators.

But director Richard Sanders says finding information about the soldiers was not difficult because “they identified themselves” - many of the soldiers had actually uploaded the footage to their personal social media pages and sometimes even to their online dating profiles.
