9/11 at 25 — Why Israel Fuels Islamophobia | Palestine This Week

In this episode we speak to Muhammed Shehada about his clash with the Board of Peace and his concern that it is burying evidence of genocide in Gaza. We unpack revelations in the Haaretz that Benjamin Netanyahu was warned in advance of the 7 October attack. Marking twenty-five years since 9/11, we look at how the War on Terror emboldened Israel, and at the rise in Islamophobia since — fuelled by Israel-linked groups working in alliance with the far right. We close on Britain’s sanctions against Israeli settlement products, the ferocity of the backlash, and how easily measures like this can be circumvented.Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction & Overview00:01:29 The Board of Peace and the burying of genocide evidence00:10:43 The warning Netanyahu buried: what the UAE told him before 7 October00:20:50 When Hamas offered all the hostages — and Washington refused00:34:14 Twenty-five years on: how the War on Terror emboldened Israel00:40:44 Inside the Middle East Forum's Muslim surveillance database00:46:09 Israel, the far right, and the manufacture of Islamophobia00:56:30 Britain's settlement sanctions: symbolism or substance?01:04:17 How Jewish institutions were absorbed into the Greater Israel project
