Description

Students who protested against Israeli Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely have suffered a firestorm of condemnation from the Establishment. But it’s based on lies - this was a peaceful protest with booing and heckling, nothing more - against a far right politician who supports the annexation of all Palestinian land, calls the Nakba an ‘Arab lie’, denounces Arabs as “thieves of history”, opposes relationships between Arabs and Jews and denounces Diaspora Jews. She is the representative of a state condemned by Human Rights Watch for practising Apartheid.Tory and Labour politicians and media outlets have sided with a right-wing extremist over young anti-racist students - and that is a disgrace.Please subscribe - and help us take on the right wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.
