What happens when an entire people are no longer seen as human beings with families, dreams, and struggles, but instead become symbols of fear? Today, we explore one of the most powerful and least discussed forces shaping public opinion in the modern world: Islamophobia. More than prejudice, more than ignorance, Islamophobia has become a political, cultural, and media phenomenon that influences how millions of people view Muslims, Arabs, and particularly Palestinians. For decades, images, slogans, headlines, and political rhetoric have worked together to create associations between Islam and danger, between Arabs and violence, between Palestinians and terrorism. These narratives do not emerge by accident. They shape how wars are justified, how policies are accepted, and how entire populations are understood or misunderstood. The consequences reach far beyond television screens and social media feeds. They are felt in classrooms where Muslim children are forced to defend their identity. They are felt in workplaces where people face discrimination because of their names or appearance. They are felt in airports, in political campaigns, and in the everyday assumptions that quietly divide communities. But nowhere may the consequences be more profound than in Palestine. When Palestinians are viewed primarily through the lens of fear rather than humanity, their story becomes easier to ignore. Their loss becomes easier to dismiss. Their suffering becomes easier to explain away. The realities of occupation, displacement, and unequal treatment can disappear behind narratives that portray an entire people as threats rather than as human beings. Yet the truth is often much simpler than the stereotypes. Palestinians, like people everywhere, wake up in the morning, go to work, worry about their families, celebrate weddings, mourn loved ones, and hope for a better future for their children. Their humanity is neither complicated nor controversial. What is complicated is the system of narratives that has convinced so many people to see them differently. Today, we'll examine how Islamophobia became intertwined with the story of Palestine, who benefits from these narratives, how they influence public perception around the world, and why challenging them matters not only for Palestinians, but for anyone who believes that justice begins with recognizing the humanity of others. Because before people can support injustice, they must first be taught to look away from it. And before they look away, they must be taught who deserves their sympathy and who does not. This is the story of how fear is manufactured, how narratives are built, and how truth survives despite them. If you have thoughts, I want to hear them. Email me at TWIPpodcasts@gmail.com and tell me how you see it. This is This Week in Palestine.

Bill Ayers on Abolition & Collective Liberation

It looks like I will be forever plagued by the R4A glitch that causes null episodes that cannot be removed. My apology if you clicked on the null episode. Mea culpa. Bill Ayers spoke on October 27, 2024 at Burning Books in Buffalo, NY to promote his new book, “When Freedom is the Question, Abolition is the Answer: Reflections on Collective Liberation. Burning Books is a radical bookstore in Buffalo, NY, specializing in activism, social justice, and liberation struggles. From Wikipedia, more or less: Bill Ayers is a retired professor and former militant organizer. In 1969, Ayers co-founded the Weather Underground, a revolutionary group that sought to overthrow American imperialism. During the 1970s, the Weather Underground conducted a campaign of bombing public buildings in opposition to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. The FBI described the Weather Underground as a domestic terrorist group. Ayers was hunted as a fugitive for several years, until charges were dropped due to illegal actions by the FBI agents pursuing him and others. Ayers went on to become a professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, holding the titles of Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar. He is married to lawyer and law professor Bernardine Dohrn, who was also a co-founder of the Weather Underground.

Progressives don't see ICC's horns

Phil reflects on the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. Despite the work of some dedicated lawyers that challenged gaps in the tribunal's procedure, the court tried to gloss over the issue of what started the war. The concept of "crime of aggression," the triggering event of a plane crash, killing two Presidents, was not welcome at the ICTR. And the International Criminal Court is as blind and biased as can be expected. The sovereign jurisdiction of countries is the antidote for this creation. Otherwise, we end up with the EU and others giving prizes to people who call for the bombing of their own country, like Machado. The UN Charter is the best hope for humanity.

What really happened on October 7th?

This special episode revisits Al Aqsa Flood and the events of October 7th, 2023. In January 2025, the Electronic Intifada’s executive director, Ali Abunimah, was kidnapped, imprisoned and then deported by Swiss authorities after legally entering the country for an event he was invited to speak at on Palestine. On June 23rd, 2026, Ali returned to Zurich and gave the talk that had been prevented by his 2025 arrest. He discusses the Electronic Intifada’s investigations into the collapse of Israel’s southern command and the widespread use of the Hannibal Directive, including Israeli testimony showing that Israeli forces killed their own civilians on 7 October. He also examines the still unsubstantiated claims of systematic mass rape by Hamas - allegations that collapse when their sources and purported evidence are examined. On April 22nd, 2024, the Electronic Intifada’s contributing editor, Jon Elmer joined a conversation on Palestinian resistance organized by the European Palestinian Youth Union in Sweden, where he breaks down the coordinated military operation that took place on October 7th.

U.S/NATO undermine international law
