About this episode

The episode discusses how laws targeting pro-Palestine protests are efforts to suppress criticism of Israel.

Laws aimed at pro-Palestine protests should always be looked at as efforts to ban criticism of Israel. That’s what we’re seeing in the UK as the prime minister encourages the prosecution of anyone who says “globalise the intifada”. Reading by Tim Foley.
