1:28:25Now PlayingOn The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 6/26 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, hosts Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear are joined by special guests:
Sina Toossi, senior non-resident fellow at the Center for International Policy, joins the show to break down the latest flashpoints in the Israel-Iran war that ended in Trump’s ceasefire and open scorn at Israel for initially violating it. Toossi will discuss what the 12-day war and US retreat says about the limits of US-Israeli power in the Middle East, failed regime change, and the catastrophic US-backed genocide in Gaza.
Lea Kayali, an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), will discuss a huge win for their “Mask Off Maersk” campaign: shipping giant Maersk announced they are cutting ties to companies with links to illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. After months of pressure from activists, including in-depth reports exposing Maerk’s transport of F-35 fighter jets used to genocide Palestinians, Kayali will discuss why the campaign will continue to push Maersk to drop all its business with Israel.
Booker Ngesa Omole, General Secretary of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya, joins the show from Nairobi, where mass youth-led protests have erupted against the deepening economic crisis and police repression enabled by President William Ruto. The swept Kenya one year ago and how Ruto’s government has responded with a sweeping media blackout and deadly force, shutting down all TV stations and firing live ammunition at protestors.
Obaidullah Baheer, PhD scholar at The New School and lecturer at the American University of Afghanistan, joins the show from Kabul to discuss the US escalation against Iran as Trump deepens America’s endless wars in the Middle East. Drawing on Afghanistan’s 20-year experience under US occupation, Baheer explains how Washington’s talk of “peace” whitewashes a legacy of bombings, proxy wars, and impunity, from Kabul to Gaza, as the region teeters once again on the brink.
Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear discuss Zohran Mamdani’s stunning defeat of disgraced ex-governor Andrew Cuomo in the NYC Democratic mayoral primary. Khalek and Puryear explain how the progressive assemblyman ran his campaign with explicit support for Palestine and why his victory represents a major blow to the Democratic establishment.
