On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Sami Abou Shehadeh, Chairman of the Balad Party in Israel. He discusses the irony of the State of Israel committing a genocidal slaughter in Gaza as the world commemorates International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and the rise of Israel’s far right – with fascists being the only ones to have a ‘legitimate voice’ in Israel while those speaking out against the slaughter are forcefully suppressed. He also discusses what differentiates the Palestinian struggle from other anti-apartheid and national liberation struggles, the complicity of the United States, Britain and European countries in the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, his own family’s personal experience of tragedy with relatives killed in Gaza, and much more.
