Short-lived scenes of celebration after Hamas announced that it had accepted a truce proposal on Monday gave way to renewed fear and confusion in Gaza, as Israel rejected the negotiated deal that had been signed off on by the United States, Egypt and Qatar.
Last week, billionaire former Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg released Screams Before Silence, which is being promoted as “a documentary film on the sexual violence committed by Hamas” on 7 October 2023.
But it is a total fraud. Seven months after that day, Israel has still not identified a single survivor of the alleged mass rapes on 7 October, nor a single credible eyewitness.

Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza has now passed 200 days, with no end in sight. Despite suffering and horror beyond description, the resistance on the ground remains determined and strong – denying Israel any strategic achievement.

After the news briefing from Nora Barrows-Friedman, we’ll be joined by Ilan Pappé, professor of history at the University of Exeter in the UK and director of the European Centre for Palestine Studies.
Pappé gained renown as one of the “new historians,” a group of Israeli scholars who in the 1980s shattered longstanding Zionist lies about the founding of Israel, and corroborated Palestinian accounts of the Nakba using Israeli archival sources.
He’s the author of many books including A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples and The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. Pappé is also a regular contributor to The Electronic Intifada.
Then we’ll speak to Dr. Ben Thomson, a doctor of internal medicine and a kidney specialist from Canada.
He has been volunteering in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip since 2013, and just returned from Gaza.
Dr. Thomson also worked as a medic during the Great March of Return in 2018, when Israel deployed snipers to murder and maim thousands of unarmed civilians protesting the siege of Gaza and demanding their right to return home.
He has also taught annually at the Islamic University of Gaza, now destroyed by Israeli bombing, and helped develop multiple medical education programs there.
Dr. Thomson was suspended from his job in Toronto in October, after calling out a Canadian Israel lobby group for dehumanizing and inaccurate comments regarding Palestinians.
Along with the latest news from the resistance in Gaza and the West Bank, Jon Elmer will take a look at the US military operation to build a pier in Gaza City and how that plan lines up with Israel’s ongoing construction of a highway south of Gaza City that will divide the Strip between north and south.
We’ll have a roundtable discussion with Ali Abunimah, Asa Winstanley, Jon and Nora to talk about other recent developments and stories.

The visitor ‘pull’ of the interview channel ‘Redacted’ moderated by Natali Morris may not match that of Tucker Carlson, but perhaps it comes in second or third, with 2.31 million subscribers. Accordingly, an invitation to join Natali online is a very welcome means of bringing some novel and perhaps penetrating analysis to a very broad global public stretching from the USA to New Zealand.
Join Kevin Gosztola, author of “Guilty of Journalism: The Political Case Against Julian Assange,” as he discusses the hearing before the British High Court of Justice, where the WikiLeaks founder requested permission to appeal extradition.
The hearing concluded on February 21. Assange, his legal team, press freedom groups, journalists, and supporters around the world now wait for a decision that could come in days or weeks.
Kevin will be live from 4-5pm ET. He’ll take your questions and respond to any comments you may have about the case.

“Our governments are complicit in the genocide in Palestine. Media corporations disseminate propaganda for it. Social media companies suppress info about it. Israel lobbies persecute human rights defenders. Universities surrender. Time to disrupt. Disrupt Genocide everywhere.”
Those are the words of Craig Mokhiber, who resigned from the UN human rights office in October to protest the world body’s inaction in the face of the unfolding genocide in Gaza.
After a round-up of the news from Nora Barrows-Friedman, Craig will join us to talk about the latest developments in relation to Palestine at the International Court of Justice.
We will also be joined by Dr. Thaer Ahmad, a Palestinian American emergency room doctor who recently spent three weeks volunteering at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis.
Based in Chicago, Dr. Thaer traveled to Gaza as part of a team sent by MedGlobal, a charity that provides emergency response and health programs to build resilience among vulnerable communities around the world.
Since his return from Gaza, Nasser hospital has been put out of service by Israel’s brutal siege and attacks on the facility, its patients, staffand people sheltering there.
And why is the BBC relying on Israeli spies for its reporting on Palestine? Asa Winstanley will tell us about an apparent attempt by the British government-backed broadcaster to smear prominent Palestinians in the UK that has fallen flat.
As we do each week, we will talk about the latest military developments with Jon Elmer.

Military analyst and geopolitical commentator Andrei Martyanov joins the program to discuss the latest in Russia’s SMO plus the latest in geopolitical developments from Ukraine to the Middle East.
Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss Biden’s acknowledgment that strikes on Yemen are ineffectual but must continue, Blinken’s Davos handwringing over Gaza, the political meltdown inside Israel as its military continues its genocidal rampage, and the ongoing collapse of Ukraine’s military.
Blinne Ní Ghrâlaigh KC give a stunning presentation during South Africa’s case vs Israel at the International Court of Justice on Thursday 11 January 2024.

The eyes of the world turned to The Hague on Thursday morning as the International Court of Justice began hearing the genocide case against Israel brought by South Africa.
Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss the thuggish pro-Israel billionaire campaign to control academia, fallout from new Epstein revelations as Israel’s most obscene propaganda stunt collapses, the wave of Israeli assassinations and bombings across the region, and the latest on the Ukraine proxy war.
The Grayzone visits a cemetery in the besieged Gaza Strip city of Rafah and documents the burial of Palestinians in a mass grave whose corpses had been stolen by the Israeli military. Gaza’s Ministry of Health has accused Israel of harvesting body parts from these corpses. If true, this crime would fit within a well-documented pattern.
