The European Union isn’t just complicit in the U.S. empire — it’s helping drive it. In this episode of Dispatches , Rania Khalek speaks with Marc Botenga, a Belgian Member of the European Parliament with the Workers’ Party of Belgium, about how Europe became a willing footsoldier for NATO’s wars, U.S. economic domination, and Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Botenga doesn’t mince words. He calls Europe’s role in Gaza a European genocide. He explains why supporting peace in Ukraine is taboo, how censorship is expanding under the pretext of fighting antisemitism, and why some of the European left is drifting into militarism. As one of the only anti-imperialist voices in Brussels, Botenga breaks down what it means to resist from within the halls of EU power, how “green colonialism” is dressed up as climate policy, and why hope, and international solidarity, still matter.

Historian of Palestine Zachary Foster joins @RaniaKhalek on Dispatches to discuss.

Big Tech & the Free Speech Frauds Making the Genocide Happen, w/ Lowkey 41:17

41:17

The Gaza genocide isn’t just happening on the ground. It’s being enforced through code, algorithms, blacklists, and billion-dollar tech firms. Meta is censoring the truth. Microsoft is complicit in the genocide machine. AI is targeting students. Rupert Murdoch’s empire manufactures the lies to justify it all. This isn’t the future, it’s now. And the fight for Palestine is the front line of a global war on dissent. Rapper and activist Lowkey joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches to expose the machinery of techno-fascism, the empire’s digital mask, and the collaborators who hide genocide behind cries of free speech.

From the River to the Screen: Inside ‘The Teacher’ w/ Palestinian Director Farah Nabulsi 42:24

42:24

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Farah Nabulsi joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches to talk about her powerful new film The Teacher , an emotional and political drama set in the occupied West Bank. Inspired by true events, The Teacher follows a Palestinian schoolteacher as he confronts personal trauma, settler violence, and the capture of an Israeli soldier by the resistance, forcing impossible moral decisions that reflect the brutal reality of life under military occupation. The film captures the full spectrum of colonial violence, from land theft and demolitions to military raids and daily humiliation, and it does so without reducing Palestinians to one dimensional victims or symbols. It’s raw, grounded, and quietly revolutionary. 🎬 The Teacher premieres in New York City on April 11 and will be released nationwide on April 18 by Watermelon Pictures 🎞️ Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0rGiVQwnSY 📺 Become a Breakthrough News member: https://www.patreon.com/BreakthroughNews 📢 Like, subscribe, and share to support independent journalism that challenges mainstream narratives.…

Najla Said joins Dispatches to talk about Palestine, identity, and the challenges of growing up Arab and American in a country that doesn’t always make space for that kind of hyphenated identity. Najla is an actor and writer who’s used storytelling to explore themes of belonging, displacement, and resistance. She’s also the daughter of Edward Said, one of the most influential intellectuals of our time, whose work and teachings at Columbia University continue to shape how we understand colonialism, culture, and Palestine.

In this episode, Najla and Rania Khalek discuss: What it was like growing up as Edward Said’s daughter while trying to fit into a culture that loves Israel and prioritizes its supporters over the trauma of Palestinians. Watching the crackdown on pro-Palestine students at Columbia, a place that felt like home to her family for so many years. Navigating the entertainment industry, which is often hostile to Arab and Palestinian voices.

How Western Media Manufactures Consent for Repression and War, w/ Assal Rad 46:38

9 weeks yang lalu46:38

46:38

Western media has played a central role in justifying and whitewashing Israel’s assault on Gaza—just as it has done in past U.S.-backed wars from Iraq to Syria. Journalists who claim to champion press freedom are silent as activists and students face unprecedented repression for speaking out on Palestine. Why does the media function as a propaganda arm for empire, and how do we push back? Rania Khalek is joined by Assal Rad, a scholar of Modern Middle East History, a non-resident fellow at DAWN, and the author of State of Resistance: Politics, Culture & Identity in Modern Iran, to break it all down.

Syria’s Sectarian Massacres & Media Cover-Ups: What’s the Truth? w/ Elijah Magnier 1:15:29

1:15:29

The past several days have seen horrifying sectarian massacres in Syria. Over 1,000 people have been killed, mostly Alawites and some Christians, in Latakia and Tartus. The perpetrators? Sectarian death squads from HTS, led by Syria’s new president, Mohammed al-Jolani—formerly the leader of Al-Qaeda in Syria. Western media is whitewashing these atrocities, falsely framing them as “revenge” against pro-Assad remnants. But the truth is clear: Syria is now controlled by Salafi jihadists who openly target minorities. How did this happen? What is the reality on the ground? And why is the media complicit in covering up genocide? Veteran war correspondent Elijah Magnier joins Dispatches for a special live episode to break down the facts the media won’t tell you.…

Trump’s people are reshaping the US political system, gutting institutions, while selling scores with all enemies foreign and domestic. But is their push for mass deportations, and the abolition of DEI, the Department of Education, USAID and other soft power institutions really in the ruling class’s long term interests. Are we witnessing the collapse of an empire, or simply a reactionary reconfiguration of power? And how should those of us who oppose U.S. imperialism make sense of these contradictions? To break it all down, Rania Khalek is joined by Breakthrough News editor-in-chief Ben Becker. Watch the full episode by becoming a patron: Patreon.com/BreakthroughNews…

Trump’s return isn’t just chaos, it’s a calculated strategy. While liberals dismiss him, Trump understands raw economic power in a way centrists fail to grasp.

As capitalism dies, we enter technofeudalism, where corporate overlords control entire infrastructures of power. And in Europe, elites literally cried over the U.S. pivoting away.
