#27 - Has Israel Already Annexed the West Bank? ft. Mohammad Hureini
While global attention has focused on the Gaza genocide, the Israeli regime has escalated its aggression across the West Bank — through intensified settler attacks and accelerating land theft.In this episode, we speak to Mohammad Hureini, a local activist from Masafer Yatta, whose community faces regular settler violence and legal displacement. From how these settler attacks unfold on the ground, to how they are a vital piece of the Israeli government's policy of goal of annexing the West Bank, Mohammad walks us through the realities that much of Western media continues to ignore.*This interview was conducted a few days before the shocking murder of local activist Awdeh Hathaleen. Let's Talk Palestine extends its condolences and solidarity to Awdeh's family and local community.

#25 - What Does Terrorism Actually Mean? ft. Conor Gearty KC
With the term ‘terrorism’ so frequently invoked in Western media coverage of Palestine, today’s episode of the Let’s Talk Palestine Podcast seeks to unpack and critically examine this loaded label.Conor Gearty KC, a professor of human rights law at LSE and a specialist in anti-terrorism legislation, traces the term’s roots to British-colonial Ireland, explores how Israel later adapted and popularized it to justify its oppression of Palestinians, and reflects on how its use exploded globally following 9/11—fueling the U.S.-led ‘War on Terror’ and the illegal invasion of Iraq.

#24 - Israel Declares War on Iran - What Happens Next?
On June 13th, the Israeli Occupation Forces launched Operation Rising Lion, a massive military escalation targeting over 100 sites in Iran. Justified under the familiar yet questionable guise of “self-defense,” Israel claimed that failing to strike Iran would endanger the very existence of the Zionist entity.In this emergency episode of the Let’s Talk Palestine Podcast, we unpack the critical context behind the latest Israeli act of aggression. We trace the collapsing nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran, Israel’s long-standing obsession with regime change in Iran, and the broader geopolitical motives driving this moment.As the episode unfolds, we begin to analyse who stands to benefit, the regional consequences, and what this could mean for the future of both Iran and Israel. Crucially, we tie it all back to the ongoing genocide in Gaza—because as long as Israel insists on the domination and submission of its neighbors, the entire region remains at risk.

#23 - Will Hamas be Legalized? ft. Franck Magennis
In early April, the proscribed Palestinian resistance movement Hamas instructed UK-based lawyers to submit an application to the UK government seeking the removal of its political wing from the UK's list of designated terrorist organisations. One of the lawyers involved in the case, Franck Magennis, joins us in this episode of the Let's Talk Palestine Podcast to break down the legal complexities for listeners unfamiliar with the workings of the legal system.From the practical implications of the proscription on the ground in Gaza, to the legal arguments underpinning the application and the broader aims of the case, Mr Magennis also sheds light on the colonial-era legislation that enabled such designations in the first place. This episode is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand how legal systems intersect with foreign policy, resistance movements, and the legacies of empire.
