       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.

Showing Up From Palestine to Ferguson

On the ground in Ferguson, Missouri exactly one year after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, a team assembled by an American human rights organization and hosted by the St. Louis Palestinian Solidarity Committee (STLPSC) comprised of 50 Shades of Black Creator, Carlton Mackey and a human rights lawyer advocating for the rights of Palestinian citizens of Israel was assigned to chronicle the journey of a father, Siam Nowara, who had traveled all the way from Palestine to bear witness to a powerful movement and to lend his voice to the thousands of others who united to proclaim that Black Lives Mattered. 

In 2014 Nowara, too, had tragically lost a son, in his case to a soldier in the Israeli military. His son’s loss was caught on camera – a fact that like many cases in America has not meant that his ongoing struggle to seek accountability has been easier. His mission was to tell his son’s story to whomever would listen, to seek allies in his pursuit of justice.
