Palestine This Week: Deadly words from the US to Palestine

Palestine This Week

SUBHEAD: Do words have consequences and can speech pave the way to violence? Join us as we discuss how rhetoric in America is making acts of political violence and genocide more likely.
As the world gets to grips with the attempt on US presidential candidate Donald Trump's life, political rhetoric within America deployed by some politicians plays on social tensions and exacerbates polarisation making acts of violence more likely. While inflammatory rhetoric is condemned by liberals, Israeli politicians and officials routinely apply the same blood-bating speech against Palestinians, but many of the same liberal will remain silent. Palestinians have been described as 'human animals', 'terrorists' and have been threatened with ethnic cleansing by Israeli officials, how does this rhetoric normalise violence against Palestinians? Join Mouin Rabbani and Nasim Ahmed as they delve into this question. Also on the show, we explore the latest updates on Israel's ongoing genocidal offensive in Gaza, the United Nations experts on famine and Tel Aviv's 'targeted starvation campaign' in Gaza, US President Joe Biden saying he has no ability to influence Israel, the US proposing to disable it's Gaza aid pier and we end with a discussion on Israel's alliance with the far right.
