In this episode of Occupied Tech, UpScrolled’s Palestinian founder Issam Hijazi joins Paul Biggar of Tech for Palestine to discuss his journey of building an ethical alternative to Big Tech that rejects surveillance capitalism, and why the future of technology depends on values, not just growth.

From sabotage and censorship to ethical product design, the challenges of raising investment without compromising principles, and the future of social media, this conversation explores what it takes to build technology that serves people instead of exploiting them.

Occupied Tech is a podcast by Tech for Palestine in collaboration with Palestine Deep Dive. Each episode explores how the global tech industry fuels Israel’s apartheid, occupation, and genocide, while also highlighting the brave individuals and organisations working to dismantle this system of oppression.

Viewers are encouraged to engage critically and consult a range of sources.

The conversation offers a rare insider perspective on one of the most consequential debates in journalism today as Karishma shares her journey from aspiring public service journalist to becoming one of the BBC's rising on-air reporters, before ultimately concluding that she could no longer work within an institution she believes failed to uphold its journalistic principles during Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.

Together, they explore the culture inside mainstream newsrooms, editorial decision-making, political pressure, media ethics, the role of evidence in journalism, and why so many journalists have become disillusioned with legacy media. Karishma also explains why she believes independent journalism is more important than ever and introduces the new Palestine Deep Dive series featuring journalists who left major media organisations over their coverage of Gaza.

Palestine Deep Dive reached out to the BBC for reply. A BBC spokesperson said: “The BBC is fully committed to reporting the Israel-Gaza conflict independently, accurately and to the highest standards of journalism. We have covered the conflict impartially and without fear or favour and produced powerful coverage from the region that has shown how the Israeli government and military’s actions have had a devastating human cost on civilians in Gaza.”

They also added that coverage across all BBC platforms “included stories of Palestinian victims and testimony from civilians, doctors and aid workers,” and “consistently reflect the historical context through our experienced correspondents, most notably International Editor Jeremy Bowen, and we explore and explain the accusations of genocide and war crimes.”

“The BBC, like all international news organisations, is unable to operate within Gaza, but through working with trusted freelance journalists we have kept audiences informed through first-hand testimony and descriptions of what is happening. The BBC has repeatedly called on the Israeli government to allow international journalists into Gaza to work alongside Palestinian journalists.”

In this episode of The Deep Dive, Ahmed is joined by investigative journalist Matt Kennard to examine Andy Burnham’s political career, from his time under New Labour and his vote for the Iraq War, to his positions on Israel, Palestine, the NHS and the future direction of British politics.

Kennard reflects on why Burnham’s record matters more than his public image, and what his potential leadership could mean for issues including Gaza, foreign policy and the wider political landscape in Britain.

The conversation also explores the state of British democracy, the decline of traditional party politics, the rise of the Green Party, and whether a new political movement can emerge outside the Labour–Conservative system.

In this episode of The Deep Dive, Ahmed Alnaouq is joined by historian and bestselling author William Dalrymple to explore the deep history of the Palestinian people, which he argues have too often been erased from mainstream narratives and the documented history of Palestine. 

Together, they discuss how history is taught in Britain, the origins of the name Palestine, the continuity of the people who have lived on the land for thousands of years, and why understanding the past is essential to understanding the present.

Speaking to Matt Kennard of Palestine Deep Dive, Ammori reflects on the extraordinary journey of the direct action movement she launched in 2020, from its campaign against Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems to its proscription by the UK government in 2025.

Ammori discusses the events leading up to the ban, the targeting of RAF Brize Norton, the government's use of terrorism legislation, and why she believes the attempt to suppress Palestine Action has instead generated unprecedented public support and drawn greater attention to Britain's role in the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Although the High Court ruled in February 2026 that the Palestine Action ban had breached the right to protest and had been incorrectly taken by ministers, the Court of Appeal earlier this month upheld the proscription which Ammori says she intends to appeal to the UK Supreme Court. As legal challenges continue and new groups emerge to carry forward similar tactics, Ammori argues that the movement's core message has reached further than ever before.

Drawing on years of reporting, interviews with military insiders, extremist veterans, and whistleblowers, Kennard examines how recruitment policies during the War on Terror opened the door to neo-Nazis, white supremacists, gang members, and convicted criminals entering the ranks of the US military.

This comes at a time when supporting Palestine in the UK and taking action to stop Israel's genocide in Gaza can be a chargeable offence under the Terrorism Act 2000.

Ahmed Al-Naouq and Hala Hanina are joined in the studio by John McEvoy, investigative journalist and chief reporter at Declassified UK, and Shaima Dallali, a legal rsearcher with the ICJP, to discuss the campaign and examine the broader state of civil liberties and the rule of law in Britain. They look at the case of the Filton 4, the Palestine-Action linked activists sentenced as terrorists last week despite not being charged or convicted of terrorist offences, as well as the Court of Appeal’s decision to uphold the UK government's ban on Palestine Action.

In this episode they are joined by Hossam El-Hamalawy, journalist, scholar, and one of the organisers of the 2011 Egyptian uprising, whose new book Counterrevolution in Egypt: Sisi's New Republic, published by Verso this year, is a comprehensive account of how Egypt's military, police and intelligence services forged an unprecedented alliance against the Egyptian people's revolutionary aspirations, and built the system that governs Egypt today.

They discuss what Egypt lost in 1967 and what was foreclosed at Camp David; how the 2011 revolution and the 2013 coup connect to that longer history; how Egypt's accommodation with Israel set the parameters for the entire region's relationship to Palestinian liberation; and where there are still possibilities for positive change.

In this episode of The Deep Dive, Abu Artema reflects on his enduring belief in peaceful popular resistance as a path toward Palestinian liberation. He revisits the origins of the Great March of Return, the movement’s impact on political consciousness in Gaza, and the hope it inspired among millions of Palestinians demanding freedom and return.

He also shares the deeply personal story of surviving more than 690 days of genocide in Gaza, including an Israeli attempt on his life, and the devastating loss of numerous family members. Abu Artema recounts the painful journey that ultimately forced him into exile in the Netherlands, where he now lives separated from his children, family and homeland.

Palestine Deep Dive's Ahmed Al-Naouq and Hala Hanina pose the question: Was the creation of a Jewish ethno-nationalist state at the expense of Palestinians inevitable? And what other Jewish futures once existed before the creation of Israel?

To answer these questions, they are joined by Palestinian cultural historian, educator and editor Hazem Jamjoum and Molly Crabapple, an artist, writer and author of 'Here Where We Live Is Our Country.’  Her book is a remarkable exploration of the Jewish Bund, a secular, socialist, anti-Zionist movement that once represented a completely different Jewish political future.
