Ronnie Barkan with guest host Natalie Strecker

Ronnie Barkan is an Israeli dissident and BDS activist.As a serial disrupter to apartheid representatives, he recently stood trial in Berlin along with fellow activists for speaking up against representative Aliza Lavie and her direct responsibility for Israeli crimes against humanity.Ronnie Barkan negates the patently false liberal-Zionist discourse whose sole purpose is the legitimising of apartheid and ethnic domination in the eyes of the world. Instead, he offers a narrative that challenges the very foundation of the Zionist race-state in Palestine as a supremacist endeavour which practices colonialism and apartheid since the day of its inception. Any attempt to speak of less than the 20 million stakeholders, like any attempt to focus on the occupation of 1967, are in fact attempts at legitimising the crime.Ronnie's Barkan's statement in a Berlin court:"The report concludes that all 12 million Palestinians are directly affected by Israeli practices of apartheid. This also includes the millions of Palestinian refugees, some of them are residents of this city and should receive the protection as persecuted people.But why are they still refugees 70 years later?For one and only one reason - so that I may be a privileged Israeli-Jew at their expense - they are being punished for the crime of wrong ethnicity."Resistance TV is a weekly show hosted by Chris Williamson the former Labour MP, Derby Council Leader and the founder of Resist Movement for a People’s Party.
