This week, Roqayah is back and reporting from Lebanon. She and Kumars discuss Hezbollah’s latest military response to Israel’s killing of Hezbollah's Senior Commander Sayyed Fouad Ali Shokr in Beirut's southern suburbs, and her latest article for Splinter on the Israeli attack on Haret Hreik. They also discuss Israel's response—its biggest since the 2006 July War—the potential impact on the region, which many speculate is building towards a larger confrontation with the Lebanese resistance, as well as the role of the axis of resistance.

This week, Roqayah and Kumars are joined by professor and academic, Mohamed Abdou, for a discussion of decolonial theory and a reflection on how the framework of decolonization benefits pro-Palestine solidarity and organizing.

Mohamed, one of three faculty members targeted and smeared during congressional testimony by House Republicans and the president of Columbia University, discusses the explosion of student encampments around the United States in support of Gaza, and the lessons we can learn not only about the farce of academic freedom but the impressive tenacity of students and what they are sacrificing. 

We also learn more about the smeared campaign facing Mohamed, as well as the significance of Columbia University's connection to Israel which makes it a legitimate target of BDS.
