YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 10/09 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, Eugene Puryear is joined by special guests:
Global Sumud Flotilla activists, including US military veteran Greg Stoker and musicians Carsie Blanton and Leila Hegazy, join the show following their release from Israeli detention, days after the IDF illegally raided and seized the flotilla seeking to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged territory. They will discuss their treatment in Israeli detention, the plight of over 10,000 Palestinian hostages in Israeli prisons, and the ongoing effort to break the genocidal siege.
Layan Sima Fuleihan, political analyst and the Education Director at The People’s Forum, joins the show to break down where things stand with the Gaza ceasefire agreement announced yesterday. While details of the agreement remain unclear, Fuelihan will discuss the latest developments in the genocide, which has seen an estimated over 400,000 Palestinians killed by Israel in two years.
John Boyd Jr., founder and president of the National Black Farmers Association, joins the show to discuss how Trump’s tariffs and immigration crackdowns are driving U.S. farmers into crisis. With fuel, fertilizer, and seed costs tripling while crop prices stagnate, Boyd warns that bankruptcies and suicides are rising as small farmers are being pushed to the brink.
Frank Lara, Executive Vice President of the United Educators of San Francisco, joins the show to discuss California’s new AB 715, a law signed Tuesday by Governor Gavin Newsom that could punish teachers for discussing Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Educators, civil rights groups, and grassroots organizations are sounding the alarm over sweeping powers granted to a governor-appointed “Antisemitism Prevention Coordinator” to police classrooms. Lara will explain how the law threatens free speech and reflects the broader attacks on education and teachers nationwide.
Ana Vraçar of Peoples Dispatch joins the show to discuss the massive wave of pro-Palestine mobilizations sweeping across Europe, as more than a million people took to the streets in Spain, Italy, France, and beyond to demand an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the release of the Global Sumud Flotilla. From Madrid’s half-million-strong march to Italy’s nationwide general strike, Vraçar explains what these protests reveal about the shifting politics of Europe and growing resistance to complicity in Israel’s genocide.
