We speak to acclaimed historian, activist and filmmaker Tariq Ali about Western governments' support for Israel's war on Gaza and popular protest in support of Palestine, which Ali calls the "biggest divide we've seen in politics almost since the Vietnam War." He argues that this division is "challenging the very nature of democracy" and the international rule of law. Ali also shares his analysis of South Asian politics — in Pakistan, where former Prime Minister Imran Khan has accused the United States of engineering his ouster, and in Bangladesh, where a student-led uprising recently toppled the authoritarian regime of its former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Finally, we cover developments in Europe. In France, President Emmanuel Macron has appointed conservative leader Michel Barnier as prime minister, despite the electoral gains of the country's left-wing coalition. This comes as far-right and anti-migrant sentiment spreads throughout the Global North.
