Palestinian novelist and playwright Ahmed Masoud will be joining us again live from London, UK, to talk about the plight of his family in Gaza.
Nora provide a news update and Jon Elmer will review some of the latest videos from the resistance on the ground.

If you miss the broadcast live, you will be able to watch it back in the video above.
Looking forward to watching this broadcast!
.... and just to say: I’ve been catching up with much of your excellent previous output via YouTube! Along with Palestine Chronicle & Mondoweiss, EI is my “go to” source for all things to do with Palestine resistance! Without wishing to diminish the suffering & misery that Israel’s genocidal actions have inflicted on the civilian population, I have nonetheless found Jon’s explanations of the military aspects of the Gaza resistance to be both interesting & inspiring!
Keep up the good work!
I don’t agree with Michel, he sounds like damage control, this is a text book Genocide and the ICJ judgment is official and must be complied with.
Also the judgment must be enforced because who does not enforced it becomes complicit in Genocide.
Immediate Sanctions till compliance is the first step.
Then it will be the task of the ICC to investigate those who are not complying with the ICJ decision.
Here the actual law

Also for those of you not aware of the fact, the ICJ already gave its opinion regarding Genocide in Gaza in NOVEMBER.

It already then asked countries to do what they can for ending it.
