Israel’s Campaign Trail Runs on Cruelty Towards Palestinians | Palestine This Week

We also discuss the push to expel Palestinians from Gaza and the occupied West Bank, Israel’s efforts to win US backing for its plans, allegations of apartheid against Palestinian students in Israeli universities, Britain’s proposed sanctions on illegal settlements, Nicaragua’s case against Germany at the ICJ and concerns over the future of UNRWA.Chapters:00:00 Introduction & Overview01:40 Israel’s Election and the Politics of ‘Vice Signalling’08:05 Israel’s Annexation Camp Versus the Control Camp18:24 Israel Seeks Trump’s Support to Ethnically Cleanse Gaza23:31 Blair Asked the PA to Remove Palestine from Textbooks28:05 Apartheid in Israeli Academia After 7 October29:57 Labour’s Sanctions on Israeli Settlements39:46 Britain Owes Palestine46:47 Why Nicaragua Is Taking Germany to the ICJ Over Gaza50:47 The Future of UNRWA and the Race for UN Secretary-General56:20 Is X Shadow-Banning Pro-Palestine Accounts?
