Securitization with Nicole Nguyen

from Unpacking Zionism

In this episode we’re with Dr. Nicole Nguyen to talk through securitization as a keyword for Critical Zionism Studies. From manipulations of the idea of “safety” to tech giant Palantir’s dystopian “digital kill chain” in Gaza and surveillance-to-deportation machinery in the United States, we connect the dots between Zionist and U.S. militarisms. This interview was recorded in June 2025. Nicole Nguyen’s selected writings: https://clj.uic.edu/profiles/nicole-nguyen/ Mohammed El Kurd, Untitled essay on Substack (8/29/25) Pro-Israel Group Censoring Social Media Led by Former Israeli Intelligence Officers (Lee Fang and Jack Poulson, 7/11/24) What Big Tech’s Band of Execs Will Do in the Army (Wired, 6/28/25) Foundation to Combat Antisemitism “Command Center”
