When it was launched in June 2025, millions of users joined UpScrolled in just a few weeks making it the fastest growing social media platform to date.

In this episode of Occupied Tech, UpScrolled’s Palestinian founder Issam Hijazi joins Paul Biggar of Tech for Palestine to discuss his journey of building an ethical alternative to Big Tech that rejects surveillance capitalism, and why the future of technology depends on values, not just growth.

From sabotage and censorship to ethical product design, the challenges of raising investment without compromising principles, and the future of social media, this conversation explores what it takes to build technology that serves people instead of exploiting them.

Occupied Tech is a podcast by Tech for Palestine in collaboration with Palestine Deep Dive. Each episode explores how the global tech industry fuels Israel’s apartheid, occupation, and genocide, while also highlighting the brave individuals and organisations working to dismantle this system of oppression.

In the first episode of a brand-new Palestine Deep Dive series, Karishma Patel sits down with Ahmed Alnaouq to discuss why she left the BBC after five years as a journalist and newsreader.

The conversation offers a rare insider perspective on one of the most consequential debates in journalism today as Karishma shares her journey from aspiring public service journalist to becoming one of the BBC's rising on-air reporters, before ultimately concluding that she could no longer work within an institution she believes failed to uphold its journalistic principles during Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.

Together, they explore the culture inside mainstream newsrooms, editorial decision-making, political pressure, media ethics, the role of evidence in journalism, and why so many journalists have become disillusioned with legacy media. Karishma also explains why she believes independent journalism is more important than ever and introduces the new Palestine Deep Dive series featuring journalists who left major media organisations over their coverage of Gaza.

Palestine Deep Dive reached out to the BBC for reply. A BBC spokesperson said: “The BBC is fully committed to reporting the Israel-Gaza conflict independently, accurately and to the highest standards of journalism. We have covered the conflict impartially and without fear or favour and produced powerful coverage from the region that has shown how the Israeli government and military’s actions have had a devastating human cost on civilians in Gaza.”

They also added that coverage across all BBC platforms “included stories of Palestinian victims and testimony from civilians, doctors and aid workers,” and “consistently reflect the historical context through our experienced correspondents, most notably International Editor Jeremy Bowen, and we explore and explain the accusations of genocide and war crimes.”

“The BBC, like all international news organisations, is unable to operate within Gaza, but through working with trusted freelance journalists we have kept audiences informed through first-hand testimony and descriptions of what is happening. The BBC has repeatedly called on the Israeli government to allow international journalists into Gaza to work alongside Palestinian journalists.”

Gaza has long been recognised as one of the most educated and highly literate societies in the region, despite decades of Israeli occupation, blockade, repeated military assaults, and displacement. Palestinians, including those in Gaza, have often been described as among the world’s most highly educated refugee populations.

In this episode of Falasteeniya, Palestine Deep Dive’s Hala Hanina is joined by Dr Abdel Razzaq Takriti, Associate Professor of History and Arab-American Educational Foundation Chair in Arab Studies at Rice University, to examine the systematic destruction of Gaza’s education system. Together, they explore the impact of the devastation on Gaza’s universities, schools, libraries, archives, and cultural institutions, and consider what the future of education in Palestine may look like in its aftermath.

As the genocide in Gaza continues and the occupied West Bank faces accelerating settlement expansion and ethnic cleansing, Britain and the wider West are witnessing a rapid change in the political and media landscape.

In this episode of Palestine Deep Dive’s weekly chat show, Ahmed Alnaouq and Hala Hanina are joined by journalist and author Owen Jones, alongside former BBC journalist and media critic Karishma Patel, two people who have been at the centre of many of these conversations.

Who is the UK’s PM-in-waiting Andy Burnham? And what does his political record tell us about the next British government?

In this episode of The Deep Dive, Ahmed is joined by investigative journalist Matt Kennard to examine Andy Burnham’s political career, from his time under New Labour and his vote for the Iraq War, to his positions on Israel, Palestine, the NHS and the future direction of British politics.

Kennard reflects on why Burnham’s record matters more than his public image, and what his potential leadership could mean for issues including Gaza, foreign policy and the wider political landscape in Britain.

The conversation also explores the state of British democracy, the decline of traditional party politics, the rise of the Green Party, and whether a new political movement can emerge outside the Labour–Conservative system.

What do historical records, ancient texts, archaeology, and DNA research actually tell us about Palestinians?

In this episode of The Deep Dive, Ahmed Alnaouq is joined by historian and bestselling author William Dalrymple to explore the deep history of the Palestinian people, which he argues have too often been erased from mainstream narratives and the documented history of Palestine.

Together, they discuss how history is taught in Britain, the origins of the name Palestine, the continuity of the people who have lived on the land for thousands of years, and why understanding the past is essential to understanding the present.

In this exclusive conversation, Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori sits down for her first in-person interview in two years.

Speaking to Matt Kennard of Palestine Deep Dive, Ammori reflects on the extraordinary journey of the direct action movement she launched in 2020, from its campaign against Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems to its proscription by the UK government in 2025.

Ammori discusses the events leading up to the ban, the targeting of RAF Brize Norton, the government's use of terrorism legislation, and why she believes the attempt to suppress Palestine Action has instead generated unprecedented public support and drawn greater attention to Britain's role in the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Although the High Court ruled in February 2026 that the Palestine Action ban had breached the right to protest and had been incorrectly taken by ministers, the Court of Appeal earlier this month upheld the proscription which Ammori says she intends to appeal to the UK Supreme Court. As legal challenges continue and new groups emerge to carry forward similar tactics, Ammori argues that the movement's core message has reached further than ever before.

Declassified UK and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) have recently launched a major campaign to demand the end of impunity for the approximately 2,000 British nationals who have served in the Israeli military and who may have been involved in war crimes in Gaza.

This comes at a time when supporting Palestine in the UK and taking action to stop Israel's genocide in Gaza can be a chargeable offence under the Terrorism Act 2000.

Ahmed Al-Naouq and Hala Hanina are joined in the studio by John McEvoy, investigative journalist and chief reporter at Declassified UK, and Shaima Dallali, a legal rsearcher with the ICJP, to discuss the campaign and examine the broader state of civil liberties and the rule of law in Britain. They look at the case of the Filton 4, the Palestine-Action linked activists sentenced as terrorists last week despite not being charged or convicted of terrorist offences, as well as the Court of Appeal’s decision to uphold the UK government's ban on Palestine Action.

Fronts + Fault Lines, is a new podcast on Palestine Deep Dive developed by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), an organisation of Palestinian and Arab youth in diaspora struggling for the liberation of our land and people.Hosted by, Jeanine and Nihal, organisers with PYM in Britain - this new podcast series in collaboration with the Palestinian Youth Movement, offering sharp analysis on the Arab and Iranian region and what it means for us in Britain.

In this episode they are joined by Hossam El-Hamalawy, journalist, scholar, and one of the organisers of the 2011 Egyptian uprising, whose new book Counterrevolution in Egypt: Sisi's New Republic, published by Verso this year, is a comprehensive account of how Egypt's military, police and intelligence services forged an unprecedented alliance against the Egyptian people's revolutionary aspirations, and built the system that governs Egypt today.

They discuss what Egypt lost in 1967 and what was foreclosed at Camp David; how the 2011 revolution and the 2013 coup connect to that longer history; how Egypt's accommodation with Israel set the parameters for the entire region's relationship to Palestinian liberation; and where there are still possibilities for positive change.

Ahmed Alnaouq is joined by Ahmed Abu Artema, a Palestinian writer, intellectual and leading advocate of non-violent resistance. Abu Artema's vision helped spark the Great March of Return, Gaza’s historic mass protest movement of 2018–2019.

In this episode of The Deep Dive, Abu Artema reflects on his enduring belief in peaceful popular resistance as a path toward Palestinian liberation. He revisits the origins of the Great March of Return, the movement’s impact on political consciousness in Gaza, and the hope it inspired among millions of Palestinians demanding freedom and return.

He also shares the deeply personal story of surviving more than 690 days of genocide in Gaza, including an Israeli attempt on his life, and the devastating loss of numerous family members. Abu Artema recounts the painful journey that ultimately forced him into exile in the Netherlands, where he now lives separated from his children, family and homeland.

As Zionism was taking shape in the late 19th century, parallel Jewish anti-Zionist movements were emerging as well.

Palestine Deep Dive's Ahmed Al-Naouq and Hala Hanina pose the question: Was the creation of a Jewish ethno-nationalist state at the expense of Palestinians inevitable? And what other Jewish futures once existed before the creation of Israel?

To answer these questions, they are joined by Palestinian cultural historian, educator and editor Hazem Jamjoum and Molly Crabapple, an artist, writer and author of 'Here Where We Live Is Our Country.’ Her book is a remarkable exploration of the Jewish Bund, a secular, socialist, anti-Zionist movement that once represented a completely different Jewish political future.

In this special performance-interview episode of Soundtrack of Resistance, we enter the sonic world of musician and sound researcher Bint Mbareh. Recorded live at the Palestine Deep Dive Studio, her exclusive performance flows directly into a conversation with composer Sami El-Enany. Together, their exploratory conversation touches on what shapes their art, the power of the voice, and an interrogation of what it means to resist as an artist.

BINT Mbareh is a sound researcher with a focus on water in Palestine. Her interest in the physical parallel between the water wave and the sound wave leads her into questions of border dissolutions (between bodies, between states, between tenses), and into the possibility of being enveloped by the voice, by sounding communally similarly to being enveloped by a water body. She challenges Settler colonial epistemology by taking seriously Palestinian ways of knowing, from rain-summoning music to shrine pilgrimage as an instigator to political revolution.

Sami El-Enany is an artist who works with sound, fraying the edges of modern classical, electronica and found sound. His work spans multichannel installation, composition, sound design, record production, radio art, filmmaking and image-sound collaboration. Through his practice, he seeks to trace the sonics of solidarity, exploring sound as resonance for union.

They discuss how understanding the execution bill requires tracing the legal genealogy of Israeli incarceration back through its British Mandate inheritance; the emergency regulations, the military ordinances, the administrative detention frameworks that Britain constructed across Ireland, India, and Palestine, and which the Israeli state absorbed and expanded after 1948.

“If I don’t cover this, who will?” In the second episode of Falasteeniya, a new podcast series spotlighting the voices, expertise, and lived experiences of Palestinian women and exploring the gendered dynamic of Israel's oppression, host Hala Hanina welcomes Journalist and Emmy award-winner Shrouq Al Aila speaking directly from inside the Gaza Strip.

A witness, survivor, and documenter of Israel’s genocide on Gaza, Shrouq Al Aila is a Palestinian journalist, producer, and researcher who has been reporting from inside Gaza throughout the ongoing genocide.

She is the director of Ain Media, an independent production company co-founded by her husband, Rushdi Sarraj, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike on October 22, 2023.

In this episode, Shrouq speaks about her return to Gaza after the genocide began, the day she lost her husband, the assassination of her colleagues at Ain Media, and the daily toll of famine, grief, and survival.

She also reflects on the Western feminist silence around the femicide in Gaza, and the Emmy award she recently received for her work, a recognition dedicated to those who gave everything to tell the truth.

“Rushdi gave me a press vest, thinking it would protect me. But here, that vest marks you as a target.” Despite repeated displacement, personal loss, and ongoing danger, Shrouq has remained in Gaza to continue reporting the truth from the ground.

Her work not only exposes Israel’s war crimes and the Western media’s complicity but also stands as a frontline act of resistance, ensuring that Palestinian stories are told, and that memory is not erased.

Rushdi Sarraj (1992 – 2023) was a 31-year-old Palestinian filmmaker and co-founder of Ain Media – a Gaza-based Independent media production company.

Heba Abunada (1991–2023) was more than a poet. She was Gaza’s radiance — a biochemist, a writer, and a visionary thinker whose words carried generations of Palestinian pain and resistance.

Her poems traced the delicate threads between loss and longing, life and liberation. She wrote as if Gaza breathed through her. But Heba’s life was cut short in the beginning of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

She was killed while on her prayer mat, during one of the most violent days of the genocide. Her final words on Facebook that morning read: “In Gaza, we are with God, either as martyrs or as witnesses to liberation, and all of us are waiting to see which we will be.”

Somaia Abunada is the younger sister of Heba. She is a former Fulbright language teaching assistant, she holds a B.A. in English Literature and an M.A. in Translation Studies.

Abubaker, who only left Gaza two months ago in April 2025, reports that at least 371 Palestinian footballers have been killed by Israel, including the legendary Palestinian player, “the Lion”, Mohammed Barakat.

They discuss efforts in the UK to build a mass mobilisation of support to stop Britain’s involvement and participation in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and assess the effectiveness of the tactics used across the movement, from boycotts and marches to permanent occupations and direct action.

But given Britain’s continued support for Israel, from refusing to implement a full arms embargo to continuing to send RAF spy flights over Gaza from the British base at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, Ahmed questions whether efforts have indeed been enough.

They also deep dive into the attempts of the British state to restrict and repress the Palestine solidarity movement and the democratic right to protest in Britain and also discuss the roots of Zionism and whether calling for Zionism to be dismantled is an effective framing and approach for supporting Palestinian rights today.

Speaking to former UN staffer and journalist, Mark Seddon, Dr Ashrawi, weighs in on the West's role in this campaign of extermination and focuses in particular on the role being played by Keir Starmer's Labour Government, saying,

“Exactly I think accountability should be applied across the board; it is not just Israel that is carrying out a genocide, those governments that are continuing to supply it with weapons and continuing to allow it to use its bases, like the British base in Cyprus, those governments that are supplying it with intelligence like the British government. So these people are definitely complicit in the genocide itself, and they cannot escape it. Sooner or later they will have to be held to account. There will be consequences, they cannot continue with this disguising reality and attempting to circumvent what is happening and so on. This complicity now is very clear. And they have to understand, that they will be considered part of a genocide that took place. And right now they might be able to intimidate, maybe, the ICC or the ICJ but I think at one point they will see themselves also held accountable before these international courts.”

She also has words of warning for the leaders of the Arab World, who continue to fail the Palestinian people in this their hour of desperate need.

Speaking to former UN staffer and journalist, Mark Seddon, Dr Ashrawi, weighs in on the West's role in this campaign of extermination and focuses in particular on the role being played by Keir Starmer's Labour Government, saying, “Exactly I think accountability should be applied across the board; it is not just Israel that is carrying out a genocide, those governments that are continuing to supply it with weapons and continuing to allow it to use its bases, like the British base in Cyprus, those governments that are supplying it with intelligence like the British government. So these people are definitely complicit in the genocide itself, and they cannot escape it. Sooner or later they will have to be held to account. There will be consequences, they cannot continue with this disguising reality and attempting to circumvent what is happening and so on. This complicity now is very clear. And they have to understand, that they will be considered part of a genocide that took place. And right now they might be able to intimidate, maybe, the ICC or the ICJ but I think at one point they will see themselves also held accountable before these international courts.” She also has words of warning for the leaders of the Arab World, who continue to fail the Palestinian people in this their hour of desperate need.

Speaking to Palestinian Deep Dive’s Ahmed Alnaouq, Corbyn says, “I want to know and I really do want to know who in the British government authorised the overflying of Gaza? Who in the British government authorised the delivery of weapons? Who in the British government knowingly provided weapons to a country that has been arraigned before the ICJ and the ICC?”

To obtain answers to these questions, the former UK Labour Party leader is demanding a “Chilcot-style” inquiry into the British government’s participation in the Gaza genocide.

The Chilcot Report, officially titled the Iraq Inquiry, was an independent public inquiry into the UK's involvement in the 2003 Iraq War, chaired by Sir John Chilcot.

The Report exposed intelligence failures, lack of planning and questioned the legal basis for the war.

Corbyn said he remains “constantly astonished” by the attitude of successive UK governments, which continue to enable Israel’s assaults on Gaza, an onslaught he describes as “a Second World War-Style carpet bombing.”

However if the government refuses such an inquiry, Corbyn says he will not be deterred from continuing to demand one by billing further parliamentary debates.

He also says an alternative would be a public inquiry inspired by the Russell Tribunal on the Vietnam War, “so we will have an open process with expert opinions, witnesses and evidence.”

Corbyn urged people everywhere to keep up the pressure on their governments to stop the genocide in Gaza.

He emphasised the need to use every available avenue— street protests, raising awareness and protesting against Elbit Systems weapons factories in the UK in particular— to demand justice and accountability.

Pink Floyd rock legend Roger Waters responds to news from Gaza that Israel has massacred over 400 Palestinians in renewed rounds of bombardment and sends a message to Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

Asked what his message is to Mahmoud Khalil and other students like him who have been arrested recently by immigration enforcement officers in the U.S. and are being threatened with deportation, Roger responds, “Keep doing what you were doing before they arrested you!”

“This is Gestapo tactics, this is fascism at work. Years ago in interviews I was saying the fight for universal human rights, specifically relating to the people of Palestine, will be fought on the campuses of north America, how right I was going to be I had no idea!”

Amid the horrors being inflicted on Gaza, Roger questions whether Israel’s genocide may eventually backfire: “What I hope is the genocide of the Palestinian people will prove to be the Achilles Heel in the monster of the Western hegemony with its mask off which we’re watching operate.”

“The hole in Trump’s armour and the hole in the Israeli lobby’s armour is their evil. The fact that they’re so undeniably and appallingly evil in every way maybe their achilles heel, and they may fail. They may fall over.”

The 49-page report titled “‘More than a human can bear’: Israel’s systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence since 7 October 2023” incriminates Israel to the level of crimes against humanity and genocidal acts.

In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the report’s findings, assessing whether the report goes far enough in exposing Israel’s widespread sexual violence against Palestinians and ask why it has taken so long for such a report to be produced in light of the widespread evidence.

We also examine the media reaction to it in the West but also in Israel where the report has had much backlash, with Israel subsequently lashing out at the UN and pushing to impose sanctions against the UN Human Rights Council in conjunction with the Trump administration.

Joining Ahmed Alnaouq for this discussion is Muhammad Shehada and Hala Hanina. Hala is a social and political activist from Gaza working towards a PhD on violence experienced by Palestinian women under Israeli occupation.

She has recently been writing about Reprocide: Examining the Hidden Gendered Dimension of Israel’s Genocide in Gaza.

Rasheed Abueideh is a Palestinian game designer from a village near Nablus in the West Bank. He gained international recognition with his game "Liyla and the Shadows of War", which tells the story of a young girl and her father navigating a decimated Gaza during the Israeli aggression of 2014.

Despite initial attempts from Apple to censor the game, Rasheed and supporters of his art fought for its inclusion which was eventually successful.

In this audio podcast for Palestine Deep Dive, composer and sound designer Sami El-Enany learns about Rasheed’s latest project, "Dreams On A Pillow”, a stealth game set during the ethnic cleansing and violent displacement of Palestinians in the 1948 Nakba. The game follows the story of a Palestinian woman who carries a pillow instead of her child by mistake after fleeing an Israeli massacre. Set in multiple timelines, the game aims to preserve the memory of pre-Zionist Palestine and highlight the trauma endured by Palestinians.

Sami El-Enany is a composer and sound designer. Through his practice and research, Sami is delving into the sonics of solidarity, exploring sound as resonance for union.

The game has entered the final days of its crowdfunding campaign which can be found at: dreamsonapillow.com

“Between the Sword and the Neck” Educator and editor Hazem Jamjoum offers a fresh reading of the work of Ghassan Kanafani amid Israel’s ongoing genocide on Palestinians in Gaza.

Ghassan Kanafani (1936-1972) is widely known as one of the great Arab novelists of the 20th century. His ability to use simple, almost mundane stories to speak to the human experience of colonialism and freedom in novels like ‘Men in the Sun’ and ‘Returning to Haifa’ continue to teach those who read them.

But Kanafani was more than a novelist, he was also a key political thinker, strategist and revolutionary whose analysis of Zionism and imperialism continues to inform and shape anti-colonial thought across the globe today.

Speaking to Palestinian journalist from Gaza, Ahmed Alnaouq, Francesca references her new UN report titled “Genocide as Colonial Erasure”, which documents how Israel is wielding its genocide as part of a broader, systematic and intentional state-organised forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians.

A new 800 page report published by Forensic Architecture titled “A Spatial Analysis of the Israeli Military’s Conduct in Gaza since October 2023”, uses innovative digital technology to illustrate Israel’s wholesale destruction of the Gaza Strip which has left “no safe place” for Palestinians under siege and bombardment, according director Eyal Weizman.

Palestinian-American legal scholar and attorney Dr Noura Erakat grants this is indeed a horrifying moment of despair for Palestinians everywhere but says giving up is not an option:

“Yes nothing has worked to stop this genocide and to liberate Palestinians, but does the opposite of that mean that we give up? Or does the opposite of that mean that we act with greater strategic acumen and foresight and try to think to ourselves, how do we do this differently? How do we do this better?”

Noura argues that the legitimacy of institutions such as the ICJ rest upon their responses to Israel’s genocide on Gaza,

“we already know this is a genocide, so it’s a way in which Palestine has inverted the lens. It doesn't matter what you say about Palestine at this point, it matters what Palestine says about your legitimacy and your institution.”

Palestinian medical doctor Dr Mohammed Ashraf provides a harrowing account to Palestinian journalist Ahmed Alnaouq about his experience treating Gaza’s sick and wounded under Israeli genocide.

Over several months, 28-year-old Dr Ashraf who is from Gaza, treated hundreds of patients in the al-Shifa and al-Kuwaiti Hospitals, including undertaking a lower-leg amputation on a patient with no anaesthetic, as none was available due to Israel’s tightening of the blockade amid its ongoing genocide. PDD host, Ahmed Alnaouq, is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers.

On October 22, Israel bombed Ahmed’s family home killing most of his close family. Dr Ashraf recounts a heartbreaking story of receiving a young Palestinian girl whose family had been killed in an Israeli missile strike.

Waking up in hospital, alone and her face covered in shrapnel, she asks, “Doctor, am I in heaven?” She tells Dr Ashraf that her mother had promised she would wake up in a calm, peaceful environment, “going to heaven directly” if Israel did indeed attack their family home. She died in hospital shortly after her question to Dr Ashraf.

Chris Gunness demands the UK immediately restores all funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency which provides essential aid to Palestinians in Gaza.

He also warns that third party states freezing aid to UNRWA at a time when the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled it is ‘plausible’ that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza may well make these states complicit in that genocide.

Gunness demands the UK and other third party states call for an investigation into the killing of hundreds of UNRWA staff by Israel since 7th October 2023.

Chris Gunness is an award-winning journalist who spent 23 years at the BBC as producer, correspondent, and anchor. In 2006 he joined The Office of the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process (UNSCO) in Jerusalem.

Al Jazeera says, “the I-Unit reveals widespread human rights abuses by Hamas fighters and others who followed them through the fence from Gaza into Israel.”

But the investigations also finds that “many of the worst stories that came out in the days following the attack were false. This was especially true of atrocities that were used repeatedly by politicians in Israel and the West to justify the ferocity of the bombardment of the Gaza Strip, such as the mass killing of babies and allegations of widespread and systematic rape.”

Palestine Deep Dive and Double Down News host an emergency event, Gaza Frontline, hearing from four Palestinians from Gaza on Nov 8th at the Frontline Club, London.

The discussion is chaired by investigative journalist Matt Kennard, co-founder of Declassified UK.

For a month now, Israel, a nuclear-armed military superpower, has conducted its biggest and harshest bombardments against the captive population of the Gaza Strip, leaving nowhere safe. Now under “complete siege”, Palestinians are not only killed from direct bombardment, crushed under the rubble, but suffer an imposed starvation, dehydration and a collapsed medical system.

A considerable number of respected human rights organisations and experts have expressed concern that Palestinians are at grave risk of genocide by Israel. More than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s bombardments, including over 4,000 children.

Since October 7th, Israel has also reportedly ramped up its oppression of Palestinians under occupation in the West Bank and Jerusalem, killing Palestinians daily and committing other human rights violations such as arresting and detaining Palestinians without trial and committing torture.

Despite Israel continuing to commit atrocities in front of our eyes, Western governments refuse to call for an immediate ceasefire and a lifting of the siege to restore electricity, fuel, water, food and to provide urgent humanitarian relief.

Right now, as their families remain under blockade and bombardment, it has never been more urgent to hear Palestinians in their own words present both the facts on the ground and what must be done to end this ongoing crisis once and for all.

On UN World Mental Health Day, Palestine Deep Dive presents: Palestine’s Mental Health Crisis: Personal and Collective Trauma Under Israeli Occupation

Dr Samah Jabr is the Director of the Mental Health Unit of Palestine’s Ministry of Health in the West Bank and is a trained psychiatrist.

Her practice goes beyond clinical consultation and training, but also addresses the wider Palestinian community's suffering from the ills of Israel's oppressive occupation, apartheid and settler-colonialism.

According to Dr Jabr: “The Israeli occupation is not only a political issue, but indeed a mental health problem. The injustice, daily humiliations, and trauma each and every Palestinian experiences have caused a repetitive injury, both to the individual and collective minds of my people. In Palestine, abuse and trauma are ongoing, enduring, and they affect every aspect of Palestinian life. Individual personalities are impacted, as is the value system of the community as a whole.”

Palestine has an overwhelmingly young population. In previous shows we’ve focused on Gaza’s child mental health crisis; 80% of Gaza’s children now report living with depression, grief and fear according to Save the Children. Join us this time as we Deep Dive into Palestine’s Mental Health Crisis as a whole at this tumultuous moment.

Picking up from where we left off in our June show “Defending the Right to Boycott: Confronting the UK’s Anti-BDS Bill”, (covered here in Al Jazeera) we’ll be learning whether the UK government has indeed been paying attention to British-Palestinians who have been voicing their deep concerns about the moral and legal legitimacy of this Bill, or whether they have attempted to erase them from the discussion altogether, as some reporters have recently claimed.

We’ll also be taking a closer look at the trade union conferences just kicking off in the UK, as well as the upcoming party conferences to assess what the trajectory for advocacy around Palestinian rights in the UK at a time when it has never been more urgent to make space for Palestinians to be heard and lead from the front in discussions which affect them most.

This summer marks 17 years of Israel’s hermetic siege and blockade of Gaza, the longest siege of the 21st century.

Israel has been placing Palestinians under a suffocating blockade, which constitutes an unprecedented form of collective punishment in a stark violation of international humanitarian law, say Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor.

The 2.2 million Palestinians living in Gaza today have endured rounds of Israel’s lethal aerial assaults delivered with world-leading industrialised military technology on an imprisoned population, leaving 80% of Gaza’s one million children living with depression, grief and fear according to Save the Children.

In 2012, the United Nations projected Gaza would be unliveable by 2020. Today in 2023, Palestinians continue to endure a crisis manufactured by Israel’s blockade, with spiralling unemployment, where 98% of water is undrinkable, where electricity blackouts continue daily and where a majority of the population are forced to rely on international organisations and aid for humanitarian relief.

By any rational judgement, Gaza today is indeed unliveable and yet Palestinians must endure it.

We hear from young Palestinians living in Gaza today who demand for their humanity to be recognised by the international community. For this show, we collaborate with We Are Not Numbers (WANN), a youth-led Palestinian nonprofit project in the Gaza Strip.

It tells the stories behind the numbers of Palestinians in the news and advocates for their human rights.

We speak exclusively to the “godfather of human rights” Kenneth Roth on how the international community should be responding to the realities on the ground in Palestine and Israel today.

Kenneth Roth is an American attorney, human rights activist and writer. He was the executive director of Human Rights Watch from 1993 to 2022.

Writing for Deutsche Welle earlier this year, Roth asserts that after 56 years the pretence of Israel’s occupation being a temporary fixture can no longer be upheld, and what we actually witness today is a “one-state reality”, whereby Israel controls all the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River while subjecting Palestinians to an apartheid system of domination and control.

“After more than five decades of occupation and 30 years of the ‘peace process,’ it is no longer tenable to regard the repression of Israel’s occupation as a mere temporary phenomenon to be cured by a ‘peace process’ without end. The ‘peace process’ is moribund. While governments speak of a two-state solution, what we have today is a ‘one-state reality.’ Indeed, the main people still invoking the two-state solution seem to be Western officials desperately trying to avoid coming to terms with the unceasing nature of Israeli oppression.”

Andrew Whitley is founder & executive director of Geo-Political Advisory Services (GPAS) & Chair of the Balfour Project. Andrew has had an expansive career first as a journalist for the BBC & Financial Times, before serving as the New York Director of UNRWA & then as Policy Director & interim Chief Executive of The Elders.

UNRWA (the United Nations Relief and Work Agency) was established in 1949 by the UN General Assembly to help and protect Palestinian refugees expelled during the Nakba in 1947-8 and today it is in dire financial crisis.

“The financial crisis facing UNRWA is deep and complex. It has been suffering from these issues for many years, but this year is the most dangerous. UNRWA will have no funds to serve Palestinian refugees after August,” Adnan Abu Hasna, the UNRWA representative in Gaza, told Mondoweiss earlier this month.

Today, over six million Palestinian refugees are registered with the agency, relying on it for essential services including education, food, healthcare and jobs.

Abu Hasna warned that all UNRWA services will be stopped by the beginning of September if they do not get the necessary funds. This will apply to all UNRWA programs, not only in Gaza, but in all the areas the agency works, including Gaza and the West Bank inside Palestine, as well as refugee camps in Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.

“Nearly half a million students in our schools are dependent on our services. We provide food to nearly 1.2 million Palestine refugees,” he told Al Jazeera.

“In a place like Gaza, any shaking of our programmes or our activities or services will threaten the stability and even the social fabric, as refugees are dependent on our cash assistance programme on education and health.” UNRWA runs 22 medical centres and 278 schools in Gaza, alongside several programs in human rights education, university scholarships, vocational training, and teacher training.

Israel’s military occupation has morphed the entire occupied Palestinian territory into an open-air prison, where Palestinians are constantly confined, surveilled and disciplined, UN Special Rapporteur for the oPt Francesca Albanese demonstrates in a new report to the Human Rights Council.

While the report finds that since 1967, over 800,000 Palestinians, including children as young as 12, have been arrested and detained under Israeli military rules, Albanese notes that Israel’s “carceral regime” haunts Palestinian life even outside of prisons.

With blockades, walls, segregated infrastructure, checkpoints, settlements encircling Palestinian towns and villages, hundreds of bureaucratic permits and a web of digital surveillance, Palestinians are confined to a carceral continuum across strictly controlled enclaves.

Join us as we learn more about the nature of Israel’s carceral regime and its relationship to international law with three leading human rights experts:

Francesca Albanese, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967.

Sahar Francis, Palestinian human rights defender, lawyer and the General Director of the Palestinian human rights organisation Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association.

With Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas visiting China earlier this month to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping, the first Arab President to visit China since the China-Arab States Summit of Riyadh in December 2022, commentators have suggested China may well be placing more importance on Israel’s ongoing occupation of Palestine as a foreign policy issue.

On May 24th, Chinese Ambassador Geng Shuang addressed the UN and strongly condemned Israel’s "illegal expansion of [Israeli Jewish] settlements”, its “unilateral action” and its “provocations” in Jerusalem, as well as raising the issue of “the plight of the Palestinian refugees”.

This comes off the back of China’s successful brokering of a landmark deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran on 6th April, soon after which China's new Foreign Minister, Qin Gang, reportedly consulted with Palestinian and Israeli officials on "steps to resume peace talks". Given the United States’ long-standing and overt support for Israel, something which has angered Palestinians who feel that this proves the US can never be an honest broker in any efforts to bring about a just and lasting resolution to the region, is China looking to take advantage of this situation and what could increased Chinese influence mean for the Palestinians?

We’ll be unpacking: how China’s Belt and Road Initiative incorporates Israel and Palestine; whether accusations of human rights abuses against the Chinese government, particularly its treatment of the Uyghur minority, will affect its relationship with Palestine; the nature of China’s vision for peace in Palestine and Israel; and what a broader shift in the global balance of power could mean for the region and for Palestinians in particular?

The UK government has announced that it will press ahead to pass its long-anticipated ‘Anti-BDS Bill’ which has drawn strong condemnation from campaigners across the UK and beyond.

The Economic Activity of Public Bodies bill, if enacted, will prevent public bodies (eg universities and local councils) from divesting from companies and organisations found to be complicit in Israeli crimes against Palestinians.

The bill is due to be debated by the House of Commons in the first week of July. Its stated purpose is "to prevent public bodies from being influenced by political or moral disapproval of foreign states when taking certain economic decisions".

But at a time when Israel further entrenches its settler-colonialism and apartheid by the day, killing Palestinians at an unprecedented rate, shooting journalists, expanding its illegal settlements, demolishing Palestinian homes and upholding its besiegement of millions of Palestinians in the open-air prison of Gaza, this bill is being widely interpreted as an attempt by the UK government to maintain Israel’s impunity in the face of growing solidarity with Palestine. While the UK’s Palestine Solidarity Campaign claims the government’s main target is campaigns in support of Palestinian rights, it also suggest those pushing for action against deforestation, environmental pollution and the exploitation of children and workers could also be affected by the Bill.

Ben Jamal is the Director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), the largest organisation in solidarity with Palestinians in the UK. PSC has been leading the efforts to prevent this bill from passing into law. Jamal’s family were among the over 750,000 Palestinians driven from their homes in the 1948 Nakba.

Shalan was the former CEO of Medical Aid for Palestinians and the former Director of Friends of Birzeit University (FOBZU). Aimee holds a doctorate in the Politics of Palestinian Literature.

Palestine Deep Dive continues its UK event series, opening up space for Palestinians to be heard articulating their own discourse, this time hosting esteemed Palestinian author Dr Ghada Karmi to celebrate the launch of her latest book with Pluto Press, One State: The Only Democratic Future for Palestine-Israel.

In April, PDD hosted Mohammed El-Kurd to explore the pressing need for a media landscape which no longer marginalises and excludes Palestinians, but centres their voices, experiences and agency,

This time Mark Seddon speaks with Ghada Karmi at the Frontline Club to learn more about her vision for Palestinian liberation, one of equal rights for all between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

Karmi argues the 'peace process' that has favoured the two-state solution for more than forty years has now been internationally exposed as masking the expansion of Israel's apartheid regime. Seventy-five years ago, Ghada Karmi and her family in Jerusalem were among the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were exiled during the Nakba. She has since become one of the most vocal proponents of the single democratic state in Palestine-Israel in which all inhabitants of the lands would have equal rights.

Forced from her home in 1948, Karmi came to the United Kingdom as a refugee and later trained as a Doctor of Medicine at Bristol University. She established the first British-Palestinian medical charity in 1972 and was an Associate Fellow at the Royal Institute for International Affairs. Her previous books include the best-selling memoir In Search of Fatima (2002) and Return: A Palestinian memoir (2015).

Rana Shubair is a Palestinian author, mother and language trainer from Gaza. She specializes in English language training, testing and translation.

At least fifteen Palestinians have been killed in the early hours of Tuesday morning and throughout the day in a series of Israeli military attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip.

More than 40 Israeli warplanes carried out attacks for nearly two hours starting at 2am on Tuesday (23:00 GMT Monday). At least four children and four women have been killed, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

Social media users report among those killed in Gaza was Dr Jamal Khaswan, a well-known dentist and Director of the Al Wafa hospital. He was reportedly killed alongside his wife and son.

Palestinian journalist Dr Ramzy Baroud argues Israel’s latest attacks on Gaza are likely being waged by Israel's political leadership, “to ensure that the political crisis in Israel can be averted” and says the ferocity of the attacks imply Israel “intends to kill as many Palestinians as possible” and that we may well be anticipating "continued Israeli attack on Gaza” in the days to come.

Ambassador Husam Zomlot, Head of the Palestinian Mission to the United Kingdom speaks to Palestine Deep Dive’s Mark Seddon. The ambassador illuminates the U.K.'s century of broken promises and missed opportunities towards Palestine, including the lack of leadership of the British government for continuing to refuse to recognise the State of Palestine.

He places responsibility for Israel’s ongoing impunity on the West for refusing to hold Israel accountable for its ongoing oppression of the Palestinian people.

The ambassador highlights how the U.S. is at risk of losing impact and influence on the region by refusing to reverse Trump’s policy decisions, and predicts the continuation of Israel’s far right trajectory, if the West continues to allow Israel to be unaccountable on the world stage.

The pair also discuss the rise in awareness of the apartheid discourse surrounding Israel and Palestine, Western media bias and the ambassador’s hopes which lie outside of the political elite, but instead at the feet of ordinary people on the streets of the Arab world and across the United Kingdom for bringing about meaningful change from the bottom up.

Palestine Deep Dive and the Foreign Press Association (New York) are live with the ‘the Godfather of Human Rights’ Kenneth Roth, for a DeepDive into Harvard’s reported decision to block him from taking up a fellowship over his organisation’s criticism of Israel’s human rights record.

The Harvard Kennedy School has allegedly bowed to pressure, according to the Nation, during a period when major donors and prominent Jewish organisations were particularly unhappy that Human Rights Watch, which Roth directed from 1993-2022, has recently accused Israel of practising apartheid.

According to Human Rights Watch’s 213 page report published in April 2021 illustrating the nature of Israel's apartheid, Israel systematically oppresses the Palestinian people both across the occupied Palestinian territory and within Israel itself.

Join Mark Seddon and FPA President Ian Williams as we learn why Roth feels his senior fellowship position at Harvard has been blocked, and what challenges human rights campaigners are facing today over criticism of Israel.

27th June 2021: We're live with for a DeepDive illuminating the situation on the ground in Masafer Yatta, where thousands of Palestinians are facing imminent expulsion.

In the early 1980s the IDF declared the area a firing zone (“Firing Zone 918”), an action viewed by experts as a violation of international law and one clearly undertaken with the objective of forcibly displacing the Palestinian residents of the area to take control of the land.

Last month, the Israeli Supreme Court rejected the residents' claims to the land in favour of the military, declaring the region a closed-off training area following the two-decade legal battle.

Residents fear expulsion and are already at the mercy of Israeli home demolitions and property confiscations while also facing regular harassment and violence from both the Israeli army and Israeli settlers.

We’re live with Basil Al-Adraa, a local resident, activist & journalist, and Yuval Abraham, a Jerusalem-based journalist and activist.

They examine the apparent hypocrisy of the international community as well as the mainstream media in their response to Russia’s invasion and occupation of Ukraine in comparison to their response, or lack of it, to Israel’s ongoing 74-year occupation of Palestine.

This is not to be missed! What seems to be emerging on the global geopolitical stage? – Can new alliances form in the wake of shifting balances of power amidst the decline in US hegemony?

Can Palestine really be forced to choose between its Russian ally and US funds over the crisis in Ukraine?

And why are more public figures, the latest being Egypt's Squash champion Ali Farag, right now taking it upon themselves to speak up for Palestine on the world stage?

His arena tour of the US "This Is Not A Drill" kicks off in July 2022, described by Roger as “a groundbreaking new rock & roll/cinematic extravaganza...” which is a "stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive, and a call to action to love, protect, and share our precious and precarious planet home."

It is also no exaggeration to describe Roger as a human rights warrior, who continues to champion the rights of marginalised peoples across the globe, from Ecuador to Palestine. Mark Seddon will be in conversation with Roger discussing Israel's ongoing assault on Palestinian children, as well as the latest news from the region.

Mark Seddon is live with Great March of Return co-founder Ahmed Abu Artema. Ahmed describes the weekly 18-month March as a 'Scream for Life' by the people of Gaza in this illuminating Al Jazeera.

But what impact did the Great March of Return have on the outside world ? Did it draw global attention to the suffering of the people of Gaza? Or was it grossly misrepresented in the media? And what impact did the March have on the people of Gaza themselves?

The UN reported that over 270 Palestinians were killed and 36,143 injured (over 7,000 with live ammunition), with hundreds of amputations and tens of thousands of traumatised participants and family members. Can it really be considered a success?

More recently the International Criminal Court announced it will be investigating Israel for potential war crimes, including crimes committed against Palestinians participating in the Great March of Return. Is this a source of hope for Palestinians in Gaza searching for justice?

Join us for this very special DeepDive with one of today's essential voices, please share widely!

We're looking at the threats the movement has faced in the UK especially and how they might be connected to Israel’s ongoing settler-colonialism on the ground.

With attacks on NGOs, human rights defenders and activists in Palestine itself and with apparent attempts to permanently conclude the Question of Palestine in Israel’s favour through Trump’s Deal of the Century and defunding of UNRWA in particular, we’ll be looking at how to renew effective solidarity with Palestine in an atmosphere of crackdown and repression.

We’re delighted to be joined by two prominent campaigners and organisers with many years experience at the heart of the Palestine solidarity movement, Ryvka Barnard and Akram Salhab.

Ryvka Barnard is the Head of Civic Space at War on Want

Akram Salhab is a British-Palestinian organiser and migrant justice campaigner. He was recently the lead voice featured in Channel 4’s documentary examining the Palestinian experience of British colonialism.

24th March 2021: Mark Seddon interviews Col. Larry Wilkerson for Palestine Deep Dive.

Here they ponder whether any significant change will occur in the relationship between the United States and Israel following Biden's successful presidential election.

Larry suggests there will likely be no significant change in official policy, but with Trump, Pompeo & Kushner gone that is significant change in itself worth celebrating. But what about settlements, the ICC [International Criminal Court], the embassy move in Jerusalem and condemnation of 'kneecapping' in Gaza? Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson served as Chief of Staff fo

Gideon Levy | Haaretz columnist and member of the newspaper's editorial board.

Palestinian leadership in the West Bank is reportedly resuming its security coordination with Israel and has returned its previously recalled ambassadors to the UAE and Bahrain. But does Netanyahu’s reported visit to Saudi Arabia last week indicate normalisation among the Arab countries might still be accelerating? On previous episodes we’ve heard how the threat of COVID-19 is greatly enhanced for Palestinians living under siege and occupation and this week reports indicate Gaza is approaching the long-feared scenario of its health system reaching breaking point, but what is being done to respond to these conditions of crisis?

13th November 2020: We go behind the lens in collaboration with London Palestine Film Festival on its opening night.

Mark Seddon is in conversation with three leading Palestinian filmmakers discussing their latest works and the complexities and challenges facing Palestinian cinema today.

Roua Naboulsi, Festival Coordinator of London Palestine Film Festival will kick things off, introducing us to the Festival and the events lined up over the next two weeks.

Lina Al Abed is a documentary filmmaker, born in Damascus to a Palestinian father, and Egyptian mother.

Najwa Najjar is a Palestinian writer and director. Since 2000, she has worked on both documentary and fiction films, and her critically acclaimed debut feature film was Pomegranates and Myrrh (2009). Her second award winning feature film, Eyes of a Thief (2014), was the Palestinian submission for the 2015 Oscars Best Foreign Film and the Golden Globe Awards. Najwa’s latest film, Between Heaven and Earth (2020), received a ten minute standing ovation at the world premiere in November at the Cairo International Film Festival, and her screenplay was subsequently the recipient of the prestigious Naguib Mahfouz Award.

Farah Nabulsi is a Palestinian British filmmaker and human rights advocate. She has written, directed and produced short fiction films exploring Palestine related topics that matter to her. Farah has spoken and screened her work internationally at film festivals, universities and at the United Nations. Her current film, The Present, underscores the importance of freedom of movement as a basic human right.
