Jadaliyya Co-Editor Noura Erakat Discusses “Deal of the Century” on CNN

By : Jadaliyya Interview

In this CNN interview, which aired on 28 January 2020, Jadaliyya Co-Editor Noura Erakat discusses the plan announced jointly by President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu on 28 January 2020. In it, she speaks about the unilateral concessions in grants to Israel over increasing its dominion over Palestinian lands, the fact it consolidates Israel's colonial takings over the past five decades, that it enshrines an ongoing and intensifying reality of Apartheid, that it implies the necessity for current and future mass population transfers from Palestinian territories in order to make room for increasing Israeli settlements, and more.

       Turkey Page Co-Editor Cihan Tekay Liu Speaks about "The Rise of the Strongman" on the Ideas Podcast

      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.

Dispatches from Medina Postcoloniale with Rachid Taha

Omar Shanti looks back on the raucous, rebellious, and symbolically rich life of the late Rachid Taha, including a never-before-published interview with the Algerian musician in May 2018, only four months before his untimely death.

Rachid Taha
Rachid Taha was an Algerian singer based in France. His music is influenced by many different styles such as rock, electronic, punk and raï. Born in 1958 in Algeria, he moved with his parents to France when he was ten years old. In 1981, while living in Lyon, Taha met Mohammed and Mokhtar Amini and the three of them, along with Djamel Dif and Eric Vaquer, would soon form a band.

In 1982, Taha was the lead vocalist for the rock group Carte de Sejour. He sang in both English and Arabic, inspired by the group The Clash. In 1986, Taha took a standard patriotic French song entitled Douce France which had originally been recorded by Charles Trenet in the 1940s, kept the lyrics but sang it with 'furious irony' which irritated many French listeners to the point where Taha’s version was banned from French radio. In 1989, Taha moved to Paris to launch his solo career with the release of Barbès in 1991.
