        How Israel-First Jewish Americans plan to re-monopolise the narratives on Palestine: MEMO in conversation with Jamal Kanj

        In this episode of Conversations with MEMO, we explore a growing fracture inside the US right wing, particularly the MAGA movement, over Israel. While united for decades in its hostility towards Islam and Muslims, the American right now finds itself at a crossroads. The once seamless coalition is splintering between “America First” nationalists and staunch “Israel First” loyalists. Author and commentator Jamal Kanj joins us to unpack how this division came to be, and how pro-Israel voices in the US are attempting to reassert dominance over the national narrative on Palestine. We discuss the illusion of US-Israel “shared values,” the role of institutionalised propaganda, and the power of lobby groups like AIPAC in shaping foreign and domestic policy. MORE >>> MEMO […]

      • Israeli report warns of emerging Turkish-Egyptian alignment forming ‘Sunni ring’ around Israel

        The Rise and Fall of Turkey’s Democrat Party: The Cold War and Illiberalism, 1945–60: 73

        Turkish politics was fundamentally altered by the rule of the Democrat Party (DP) between 1950-1960. It has been often viewed as highly controversial party that ended with its leaders being toppled by a military coup in 1960. The Turkish memory of the DP rule and Prime Minister Adnan Menderes is polarised with some seeing them as democratic heroes and others seeing them as betraying a democratic vision. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, it is said, draws inspiration from Menderes and in 2020 had a memorial museum built on the island where Menderes was imprisoned. The importance attached to the DP years and why so many different groups remember them differently makes them a critical subject of inquiry. Reuben Silverman’s new book […]

        Christian Zionism: the radical theology empowering an unchristian settler state | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani

        In this week’s episode, we unpack the implications of remarks made by Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, whose unapologetic defence of Israeli expansionism reflects the enduring influence of Christian Zionism on American foreign policy. We explore how this radical theological current has shaped political discourse and helped sustain Israel. The discussion also examines the latest Lancet report suggesting Gaza’s death toll may be significantly higher than previously recorded. Finally, we assess the significance of the newly convened Board of Peace.   WATCH: ‘Common enemy’: the Epstein class behind Oslo’s failure | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani
