Pressure and Posturing

This week Lara and Michael discuss the egregious case of the Lapid's occupying a stolen Palestinian house and announcing it as a "new beginning" on Instagram. We cover a couple of instances of Germany silencing both Palestinian and anti-Zionist Jewish activists. Lara talks about the so-called "Doomsday settlements" and how over 7 decades of occupation is already a Doomsday scenario: We discuss the anniversary of Algerian independence, talk about the deep bond between Palestinians and Algerians, and recall how Algerian resistance to colonialism lasted for over 100 years. We cover the latest news in the phenomena of Arab Zionists (an Arab Zionist NATO?). We conclude with an update about the Ben & Jerry's fiasco - the company sued its parent company Unilever for circumventing their decision to refrain from selling their products in the occupied West Bank. Michael stays unimpressed with the PR tactics of the company. The duo query the meaning of the word “anomaly.”
