Europe and the Middle East

Episode One: “Eurabia” and the Great Replacement


Friday, 26 February 2021
11:00 PM EST | 5:00 PM Paris


Europe in the Middle East is a bi-monthly podcast addressing matters of significance to both regions, including their multi-faceted relations.

In this first launching episode titled “‘Eurabia’ and the Great Replacement," hosts Alain Gresh and Thomas Serres will have a conversation with Liz Fekete on the theories promoted by far-right thinkers Bat Ye’or and Renaud Camus, their origin and growing normalization in European political discourses. They will also discuss the appropriation of these conspiracy-oriented narratives by far-right terrorists in Europe (and beyond) as well as their connection with the American notion of "white genocide.”  
 

This podcast is cosponsored by Status/الوضع, Jadaliyya, and Orient XXI

      Long Form Podcast Episode 9: Islamophobia, the West, and Genocide with Hatem Bazian

      Hatem Bazian addresses the historical trajectory of Islamophobia and its significance in understanding geopolitical transformation in the post-Cold War world. As Western ideologues shifted from their focus on the Soviet Union after the Cold War, and increasingly adopted the Clash of Civilizations paradigm to undergird their maintenance of global hegemony, Islam and Muslims replaced communism as the chief bogeyman. Bazian explains how and why this came about, and the centrality Palestine played in its development and operation, both in the West and for Israel. He also addresses US government disciplining of universities and particularly student activists.

      Long Form Podcast Episode 8: Resigning the State Department Over Gaza With Hala Rharrit

      In this episode of Long Form, Hala Rharrit discusses the factors that led her to resign from the US State Department, the mechanisms by which institutional corruption and ideological commitments of officials and representatives ensure US support for Israel, and how US decision-makers consistently violate international law and US laws/legislation. Rharrit also addresses the Trump administration’s claim that South Africa is perpetrating genocide against the country’s Afrikaaner population, and how this intersects with the US-Israeli campaign of retribution against South Africa for hauling Israel before the ICJ on charges of genocide.

Launching the One-Year-Long Project, “Ten Years On: Mass Protests and Uprisings in the Arab World” (Video)

This live event/video represents the launch of the one-year-long project “10 Years On: Mass Protests and Uprisings in the Arab World.” Ten years ago on 17 December 2010, Bouazizi immolated himself, ushering in what has come to be known as the Arab Uprisings. It  addresses the contours of the project and introduces the partners involved. Our first panel will be held in late January 2021, and will address the broad historical context within which the uprisings take place.

Those unable to access the video via Facebook can watch it via Youtube.
