The high visibility of student protests on social media have brought conversation on the genocide in Gaza to the fore. Dave Smith, a libertarian comedian, is also thinking about the unforgivable atrocities Israel has perpetrated in Palestine, and to that end, he recently debated Dennis Prager and Batya Ungar-Sargon (alongside Cenk Uygur). In this d…

From university uprisings to viral debates between the left and right, the question of Palestinian liberation — and Americans’ support for it — is at the front of everyone’s minds this week. Especially ours! That’s why we talked to Dave Smith about the debate he did on the topic with Dennis Prager and several other notable commentators a while back…

CodePink activist Moataz Salim is our guest this week, talking about the organizing efforts he’s been part of in support of Palestinian liberation. All eyes are on pro-Palestine organizers right now, as students have set up encampments at Columbia (after months of enduring surveillance, chemical attacks, arrests, and doxxing). They’re making a powe…

CodePink’s Moataz Salim is our guest this week, talking about the organizing efforts he’s been part of in support of Palestinian liberation. As a Palestinian-American activist going toe to toe with the American government bankrolling his people’s genocide, Moataz is speaking truth to power in the belly of the beast, even as he mourns his own family…

Medea Benjamin has had an incredibly busy week on Capitol Hill. First, there’s talking to the less-than-allies: publicly challenging the Secretary of Defense, who’s on the record saying there’s no evidence of genocide in Palestine. Same thing with Samantha Power, who has written about, studied, and spoken on genocide and human rights extensively in…

Medea Benjamin reveals how to fight the genocide in Gaza.על ידי Krystal

This week we’ve got the most incredible conversation prepared for you — with a leading antiwar activist, Medea Benjamin of CodePink. “Involved” is an understatement when it comes to the commitment Medea has been making in the past weeks and months to Palestinian liberation and an end to the genocide in Gaza. We were lucky enough to sit down and tal…

Ana Kasparian, host of TYT, reminds us of the line that will get trotted out millions of times before November to hosts of disenchanted voters tired of Democrats’ empty promises and full coffers for war: “Democracy is on the line.” So why is the Democratic Party insisting on Biden? Back in 2020, when the pickings for candidates supporting Medicare …

Ana Kasparian joins us to discuss, among other things, why she won't be voting for Joe Biden.על ידי Krystal

We’re talking to Ana Kasparian (among many other things!) about why she isn’t going to vote for Joe Biden, not in the primary and not in the general election. She lays out an extremely compelling case pointing out Biden’s willingness to put all his power and legitimacy on the line for Israel’s genocide, why the Democratic Party can do better, and w…

A recent Atlantic article by a student at Stanford lamenting the purported silencing of Zionist voices and the aggressiveness of pro-Palestine voices on campus might give the impression that defenders of Palestinian liberation, and not of Israeli apartheid, hold the most sway in American institutional settings. These pieces frame the current crisis…

Analyst Mouin Rabbani joins us to discuss updates on Israel's genocide in Palestine.על ידי Krystal

Thanks to Mouin Rabbani for joining us for an important convo on Israel-Palestine. As the Biden admin continues massive weapons shipments to Israel and Israel continues to block vital aid shipments to Palestine — especially with a famine looming — it’s important as ever to analyze our government’s complicity in the ongoing genocide in Palestine, an…

Katie Halper joins us to discuss Zionist backlash against Jonathan Glazer’s recent movie The Zone of Interest. Glazer was the only awardee to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza in his speech, in which he rebuked the co-optation of Jewish identity and the trauma of the Holocaust by violent supporters of an ethnostate. The movie, as we note, has clear …

Welcome back, everyone! We’re happy to have you here for another week of KK&F and looking forward to continuing our in-depth coverage of the unfolding genocide in Palestine with guests who provide unique and powerful perspectives on Palestinian solidarity; the history of the conflict between Israel in Palestine; support of the Zionist cause in Amer…

Certain shifts in the American establishment response to Israel’s genocide in Palestine suggest that the Biden admin has begun to feel the pressure put on it by pro-Palestine organizers across the country (and around the globe). From massive protests to coordinated labor actions and more, the American working class has taken a massive stand against…

Recent reporting from Jacobin shows that Biden is sending Israel weapons every 36 hours.
