Description

New reports by the UN that Palestinian women have been sexually abused and raped by Israeli women are hideous enough. But even before these reports, the utter horrors suffered by Palestinian women were being ignored. Not by intersectional feminists - who've played a prominent role in opposing Israel's genocidal onslaught - but mainstream media outlets and a brand of mainstream feminism.I discuss this with Maryam Aldossari, an academic who wrote 'For feminists, silence on Gaza is no longer an option': https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/1/4/for-feminists-silence-on-gaza-is-no-longer-an-optionSupport 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.
