One Year of Genocide: Diana Buttu on Israel’s Brutality and the Fight for Justice
The Mondoweiss Podcast
Today’s episode was recorded just before the one-year anniversary of October 7th, the date marking the beginning of the most recent iteration of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza. Unfortunately, we missed the release date, but we still felt it was crucial to share this conversation as events continue to unfold. Since the recording, Israel has not only continued its brutal assault on Gaza but has also intensified its aggression in Lebanon, with hundreds killed and over a million people displaced as Israel prepares for a ground invasion. In this episode, I speak with Diana Buttu, who...

Israel and Iran: Unpacking Western Media Bias
The Mondoweiss Podcast
In the past few weeks, Israel has bombed Lebanon, assassinated Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, launched a ground invasion, and displaced over a million people. Health care workers are warning of an 'apocalyptic' situation, with many now sleeping on the streets of Beirut. More than 1,300 have been killed, including at least one Lebanese American citizen. Meanwhile, Israel continues to commit genocide in Gaza and carry out military invasions in the occupied West Bank. On Tuesday, Iran launched over 100 missiles at Israel, targeting military sites in retaliation for Israel’s killings...

From Beirut to Gaza: The Ripple Effects of Israel’s Attack on Lebanon
The Mondoweiss Podcast
In just a week, Israel's brutal bombing campaign on Lebanon has killed more than 700 Lebanese people and displaced over 90,000, escalating tensions with Hezbollah and pushing the conflict closer to what some believe is already an all-out war. This comes on the heels of the recent 'pager attack,' where hundreds of personal electronic devices were booby-trapped by Israel, resulting in the deaths and injuries of thousands across the country. Today, I’m joined by Abboud Hamayel – a writer, analyst, and lecturer in the Department of Arabic Language and Literature at Birzeit University. We'll be...

85. Polio and The Public Health Crisis in Gaza
The Mondoweiss Podcast
In mid-July, reports began to emerge from the Gaza Strip that polio was detected in the water. Days later, the Gaza Ministry of Health declared a polio epidemic and called for “immediate intervention to end the [Israeli] aggression and find radical solutions” to the worsening public health crisis in the Strip. The World Health Organization (WHO) said it was sending more than one million polio vaccines to Gaza to be administered over the coming weeks to prevent children from being infected. But whether Israel would open up the borders to allow the vaccines in remains to be seen. In this...

84. Israel’s assassination of Hamas & Hezbollah leaders. What comes next for the region?
The Mondoweiss Podcast
info_outlineOn July 19, the International Court of Justice, or ICJ, ruled that Israel’s occupation of Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem is illegal and must end immediately. Palestinians, of course, have been saying this for years. The court stated that Israel must halt all new settlement construction, evacuate settlers, and pay reparations to Palestinians, calling some of Israel’s policies “apartheid.” This advisory opinion, requested by the United Nations, marks a significant condemnation of Israel’s legal defenses. The ruling emphasizes the occupation’s illegality and highlights the need for international accountability and policy shifts. This historic ruling, though non-binding, challenges Israel’s legal defenses for the first time.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas celebrated the decision as a victory for justice, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed it calling it “absurd.” The United States responded by affirming only that Israel’s settlements are illegal and criticized “the breadth of the court’s opinion,” which, it said, “will complicate efforts to resolve the conflict.”
We are joined today by Craig Mokhiber, an international human rights lawyer and activist, and a former senior United Nations human rights official. Craig served at the U.N. for over three decades, with postings in Switzerland, Palestine, Afghanistan, and New York, conducting numerous human rights missions across various continents. In October 2023, he left the U.N., criticizing the organization’s human rights failures regarding Israel’s actions to Gaza, warning of genocide in Gaza, and calling for a new approach to Palestine and Israel based on international law, human rights, and equality.
