Sign up for the new Downstream Newsletter here: https://novaramedia.com/newsletters/the-downstream-newsletter/ Since Hamas launched its assault on October 7th, 2023, the group has become synonymous with evil in large parts of the Western media. Condemnation has come at the expense of critical engagement with the group’s actions, objectives, and history, leaving a vacuum that has been filled with racist assumptions and conspiracy theories. Tareq Baconi is a Palestinian scholar whose doctoral thesis on Hamas was published in 2018 as a book, ‘Hamas Contained’. The book drew on interviews with the organisation’s leaders and their archives. Tareq’s goal when writing it was to ‘get out of the way’ and let the group speak for itself. Tareq’s newest book, ‘A Fire in Every Direction,’ is a memoir about growing up as a queer Palestinian man in Amman. The title is a reference to Tareq’s activist mother, who fought for Palestinian liberation from exile. In conversation with Ash Sarkar, Tareq traces the group from its inception in the Muslim Brotherhood, to an armed resistance group, and then a democratically elected party. How did the group rise to power in Gaza? What were the conditions under which they adopted violence as a strategy? Did October 7 go as planned, or was there a miscalculation? And how is Tareq making sense of this moment in time, in the face of the ongoing genocide by Israel against the people of Palestine? 00:00 Intro 02:38 From Armed Militants to Democratically Elected Government 06:43 Hamas’ Origins: The Muslim Brotherhood 12:05 Did Israel Create Hamas? ​​14:21 Hamas’ Military Tactics & Suicide Bombings 18:43 The Balance of Terror Campaign 24:11 The Second Intifada and 9/11 25:45 Building a Resistance Society Through Politics 33:30 Israel’s Blockade on Gaza: A Violent Equilibrium 46:11 Peaceful Resistance: The Great March of Return 49:17 October 7th 57:22 Israel’s Genocide 1:01:14 Palestine, Empire, and the Rise of Mamdani 1:05:54 Access to Hamas’ Leaders and Archives 1:08:17 Homecoming: Tareq’s First Trip to Palestine 1:14:14 On Shame 1:17:45 On Rage 1:22:12 On the Concept of Home Support our work: http://novara.media/support Buy Novara Media merch: https://shop.novaramedia.com/

A DSA member just won one of the most significant left-wing electoral victories in recent memory with Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York — despite red-baiting, anti-Palestinian smears, and a full-on campaign to demonize socialism. But that victory has raised big questions: Why keep Jessica Tisch as NYPD commissioner? Why discourage a primary against Hakeem Jeffries — and then endorse him for Speaker? What does accountability look like when socialists actually win power? To unpack all this, Rania Khalek is joined by the national co-chairs of the Democratic Socialists of America, Megan Romer and Ashik Siddique, to talk about Zohran’s win, DSA’s national strategy, Venezuela, Cuba, Palestine and how they plan to hold their elected members accountable. 👉 Watch the full member-only episode at: https://www.patreon.com/BreakthroughNews Support Breakthrough News: https://breakthroughnews.org/donate/ Follow Breakthrough News: X: https://x.com/BTnewsroom Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/btnewsroom TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@btnewsroom

As a result of this continuous foreign-backed conflict, drought, and famine, Somalia has remained in a cycle of humanitarian crisis and fragile governance that persists to this day. The Trump admin called this a kind of cultural failing internal to Somalia. But it’s clear that world powers had long orchestrated the conditions that made collapse inevitable and the aftermath totally unmanageable. This history is essential for understanding that the Somali refugees who arrived in Minnesota were fleeing — not just "chaos" in the abstract but the consequences of decades of imperial and foreign maneuvering.

Between 1932 and 1945, the Japanese Imperial Army trafficked an estimated 400,000 women and girls into sexual slavery — the largest case of state-sponsored human trafficking in modern history. Most were Korean and Chinese, but victims also came from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and beyond. To this day, Japan has not offered a formal apology or reparations to the survivors. Co-founder of Comfort Women Justice Coalition Julie Tang joins Amanda Yee this week to discuss the survivors’ fight for justice. She also warns of the threat a rapidly remilitarizing Japan poses to Asia and the rest of the world, given that it’s never taken full accountability for its WWII atrocities. Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a weekly show that provides an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about. We help you navigate beyond the headlines with expert analysis and on-the-ground perspectives.

In the wake of the powerful Nationwide Day of Action for "No War on Venezuela" where over 65 cities mobilized to demand an end to the US war drive on Venezuela, we gather again to assess the current moment and chart the path forward. This webinar will provide space to evaluate the impact of our mobilizations against a potential war with Venezuela and discuss how we can deepen anti-war consciousness in our communities. As U.S. threats and manufactured narratives escalate, our responsibility to build a broad and politically grounded anti-war movement becomes even more urgent. 📢🗣️Featured Speakers: Brian Becker from the ANSWER Coalition & Manolo De Los Santos from The People’s Forum

On The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 12/11 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, Eugene Puryear is joined by special guests: Eugene Puryear will discuss the Trump administration’s newly released national security strategy, examining its key positions and explaining why, despite new language, nothing has changed for U.S. imperialism. Kwesi Pratt Jr., General Secretary of the Socialist Movement Ghana, joins the show to discuss the attempted coup in Benin, the role of Nigeria and other foreign troops in propping up the France-backed Talon regime, and how these interventions reveal France’s ongoing neocolonial agenda across West Africa. Eric Gardner of More Perfect Union joins the show to discuss their explosive investigation uncovering a secret corporate scheme using AI-driven “surveillance pricing” to quietly hike grocery costs for families nationwide. Kurt Hackbarth, writer for Jacobin and host of Soberanía: The Mexican Politics Podcast, joins the show for an end-of-year wrap-up on Mexico and Latin America — from Sheinbaum’s continuation of the “Fourth Transformation” and battles with Trump to the escalating U.S. war drive on Venezuela — and what lies ahead.

EXCLUSIVE: We uncovered a secret corporate scheme to raise grocery prices. We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. The scary part? It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores, too. Our months-long investigation with Consumer Reports and Groundwork Collaborative found it could cost families $1,200/year.

Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi ignited a firestorm last month when she pledged Japanese troops would be deployed in the event of a Chinese mainland attack on Taiwan. Professor Yan Liang joins Amanda Yee this week to discuss this diplomatic fallout, Beijing’s response, and whether or not this signals Tokyo’s move toward remilitarization. Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics.

The Trump administration is responding to the shooting of two National Guard members in DC with a renewed crackdown on immigration. But the alleged shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was recruited at 16 into the CIA’s clandestine “Zero Units”—death squads that committed war crimes on behalf of the U.S. in Afghanistan. Obaidullah Baheer returns to The Freedom Side to discuss how the violence of the U.S. War in Afghanistan is now returning home. #breakthroughnews

Greg Stoker, U.S. military veteran and host of Colonial Outcasts, joins the show to discuss the growing scandal over deadly U.S. strikes on alleged “drug boats” in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, including a September 2 attack that killed 11 and a follow-up strike on survivors that Trump’s own legal experts say could be a war crime. He discusses “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth’s attempt at blame-shifting to Admiral Mitch Bradley, and how these extrajudicial killings reflect the export of War on Terror tactics to Latin America as Trump intensifies threats against Venezuela. #breakthroughnews

Hillary Clinton recently decried young people’s supposed inability to have a “reasonable discussion” about Israel, claiming “propaganda” and “totally made-up” videos of atrocities in Gaza are responsible for growing pro-Palestine sentiment. Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear dive into these claims together, and examine Clinton’s long history as a war hawk who has peddled anti-Arab racism in support of U.S. geopolitical interests. #breakthroughnews
