      Democracy is shrivelling and illiberalism is on the rise. We've been watching this unfold for more than three decades but the sense of urgency has, perhaps, never been so great. IDEAS hears from people on the frontline of the fight against rising authoritarianism — how they understand the struggle and what they're doing to survive it. *This episode is part of our series, The New World Disorder.

      «إسرائيل تواجه ردود فعل عنيفة بعد هجوم الشرطة على جنازة الصحافية شيرين أبو عاقلة»: مقابلة مع نورا عريقات

      بتاريخ 11 أيار/مايو 2022 أطلق قنّاص النار على الصحافية الفلسطينية المخضرمة، شيرين أبو عاقلة، والتي كانت تؤدي مهمة صحفية في جنين صباحاً. وبحسب عدد من شهود العيان الفلسطينيين، فإن تحقيقاً أجرته منظمة "بتسيلم" الإسرائيلية لحقوق الإنسان، يوضح أن المهاجم كان ضابط أمن إسرائيلي. على الرغم من هذه الأدلة والافتراض العنصري بأنه كان من الممكن أن تكون الجريمة نتيجة نيران فلسطينية، أطلقت إسرائيل حملة علاقات عامة لزرع الشك والارتباك في محاولة للتضليل وإعفاء إسرائيل من المساءلة. في هذه المقابلة، استُضيفت نورا عريقات، محررة جدلية، لدى شبكة "سي بي أس" الإخبارية لمناقشة موضوع التحقيق في مقتل أبو عاقلة، يوم الإثنين 16 أيار/مايو 2022، قبل أيام من ظهور مقطع فيديو آخر يؤكد عدم وجود نيران فلسطينية على الإطلاق وقبل إعلان إسرائيل أنها لن تبدأ تحقيقاً لتجنب المزيد من الجدل.
