Scholasticide: Erasing Gaza's Past, Present and Future| Dr Abdel Razzaq Takriti
Gaza has long been recognised as one of the most educated and highly literate societies in the region, despite decades of Israeli occupation, blockade, repeated military assaults, and displacement. Palestinians, including those in Gaza, have often been described as among the world’s most highly educated refugee populations. In this episode of Falasteeniya, Palestine Deep Dive’s Hala Hanina is joined by Dr Abdel Razzaq Takriti, Associate Professor of History and Arab-American Educational Foundation Chair in Arab Studies at Rice University, to examine the systematic destruction of Gaza’s education system.

EXPOSED: What Andy Burnham Really Thinks About Palestine | Matt Kennard
Who is the UK’s PM-in-waiting Andy Burnham? And what does his political record tell us about the next British government? In this episode of The Deep Dive, Ahmed is joined by investigative journalist Matt Kennard to examine Andy Burnham’s political career, from his time under New Labour and his vote for the Iraq War, to his positions on Israel, Palestine, the NHS and the future direction of British politics. Kennard reflects on why Burnham’s record matters more than his public image, and what his potential leadership could mean for issues including Gaza, foreign policy and the wider political landscape in Britain. The conversation also explores the state of British democracy, the decline of traditional party politics, the rise of the Green Party, and whether a new political movement can emerge outside the Labour–Conservative system. 👉 Support us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.

How Palestine Action Shook Britain: Co-Founder Huda Ammori Goes On the Record
In this exclusive conversation, Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori sits down for her first in-person interview in two years. Speaking to Matt Kennard of Palestine Deep Dive, Ammori reflects on the extraordinary journey of the direct action movement she launched in 2020, from its campaign against Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems to its proscription by the UK government in 2025. Ammori discusses the events leading up to the ban, the targeting of RAF Brize Norton, the government's use of terrorism legislation, and why she believes the attempt to suppress Palestine Action has instead generated unprecedented public support and drawn greater attention to Britain's role in the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Although the High Court ruled in February 2026 that the Palestine Action ban had breached the right to protest and had been incorrectly taken by ministers, the Court of Appeal earlier this month upheld the proscription which Ammori says she intends to appeal to the UK Supreme Court. As legal challenges continue and new groups emerge to carry forward similar tactics, Ammori argues that the movement's core message has reached further than ever before.

No Investigations For 2000+ Britons Serving In Israel's Genocide
Declassified UK and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) have recently launched a major campaign to demand the end of impunity for the approximately 2,000 British nationals who have served in the Israeli military and who may have been involved in war crimes in Gaza. This comes at a time when supporting Palestine in the UK and taking action to stop Israel's genocide in Gaza can be a chargeable offence under the Terrorism Act 2000. Ahmed Al-Naouq and Hala Hanina are joined in the studio by John McEvoy, investigative journalist and chief reporter at Declassified UK, and Shaima Dallali, a legal rsearcher with the ICJP, to discuss the campaign and examine the broader state of civil liberties and the rule of law in Britain. They look at the case of the Filton 4, the Palestine-Action linked activists sentenced as terrorists last week despite not being charged or convicted of terrorist offences, as well as the Court of Appeal’s decision to uphold the UK government's ban on Palestine Action.

From Nasser to Sisi: Egypt, Palestine and the Counterrevolution
Fronts + Fault Lines, is a new podcast on Palestine Deep Dive developed by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), an organisation of Palestinian and Arab youth in diaspora struggling for the liberation of our land and people.Hosted by, Jeanine and Nihal, organisers with PYM in Britain - this new podcast series in collaboration with the Palestinian Youth Movement, offering sharp analysis on the Arab and Iranian region and what it means for us in Britain. In this episode they are joined by Hossam El-Hamalawy, journalist, scholar, and one of the organisers of the 2011 Egyptian uprising, whose new book Counterrevolution in Egypt: Sisi's New Republic, published by Verso this year, is a comprehensive account of how Egypt's military, police and intelligence services forged an unprecedented alliance against the Egyptian people's revolutionary aspirations, and built the system that governs Egypt today. They discuss what Egypt lost in 1967 and what was foreclosed at Camp David; how the 2011 revolution and the 2013 coup connect to that longer history; how Egypt's accommodation with Israel set the parameters for the entire region's relationship to Palestinian liberation; and where there are still possibilities for positive change.

‘Israel tried to assassinate me’: The Man Behind Gaza’s Biggest Peaceful Protest Movement
Ahmed Alnaouq is joined by Ahmed Abu Artema, a Palestinian writer, intellectual and leading advocate of non-violent resistance. Abu Artema's vision helped spark the Great March of Return, Gaza’s historic mass protest movement of 2018–2019. In this episode of The Deep Dive, Abu Artema reflects on his enduring belief in peaceful popular resistance as a path toward Palestinian liberation. He revisits the origins of the Great March of Return, the movement’s impact on political consciousness in Gaza, and the hope it inspired among millions of Palestinians demanding freedom and return. He also shares the deeply personal story of surviving more than 690 days of genocide in Gaza, including an Israeli attempt on his life, and the devastating loss of numerous family members. Abu Artema recounts the painful journey that ultimately forced him into exile in the Netherlands, where he now lives separated from his children, family and homeland.

‘The Most Evil Enemy of the Jewish Proletariat’: The Bundist Case Against Zionism
As Zionism was taking shape in the late 19th century, parallel Jewish anti-Zionist movements were emerging as well. Palestine Deep Dive's Ahmed Al-Naouq and Hala Hanina pose the question: Was the creation of a Jewish ethno-nationalist state at the expense of Palestinians inevitable? And what other Jewish futures once existed before the creation of Israel? To answer these questions, they are joined by Palestinian cultural historian, educator and editor Hazem Jamjoum and Molly Crabapple, an artist, writer and author of 'Here Where We Live Is Our Country.’ Her book is a remarkable exploration of the Jewish Bund, a secular, socialist, anti-Zionist movement that once represented a completely different Jewish political future.

'Voices Together' with Bint Mbareh
In this special performance-interview episode of Soundtrack of Resistance, we enter the sonic world of musician and sound researcher Bint Mbareh. Recorded live at the Palestine Deep Dive Studio, her exclusive performance flows directly into a conversation with composer Sami El-Enany. Together, their exploratory conversation touches on what shapes their art, the power of the voice, and an interrogation of what it means to resist as an artist. BINT Mbareh is a sound researcher with a focus on water in Palestine. Her interest in the physical parallel between the water wave and the sound wave leads her into questions of border dissolutions (between bodies, between states, between tenses), and into the possibility of being enveloped by the voice, by sounding communally similarly to being enveloped by a water body. She challenges Settler colonial epistemology by taking seriously Palestinian ways of knowing, from rain-summoning music to shrine pilgrimage as an instigator to political revolution. Sami El-Enany is an artist who works with sound, fraying the edges of modern classical, electronica and found sound. His work spans multichannel installation, composition, sound design, record production, radio art, filmmaking and image-sound collaboration. Through his practice, he seeks to trace the sonics of solidarity, exploring sound as resonance for union. Support us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.

Hosted by, Jeanine and Nihal, organisers with PYM in Britain - this new podcast series in collaboration with the Palestinian Youth Movement, offering sharp analysis on the Arab and Iranian region and what it means for us in Britain.

They discuss how understanding the execution bill requires tracing the legal genealogy of Israeli incarceration back through its British Mandate inheritance; the emergency regulations, the military ordinances, the administrative detention frameworks that Britain constructed across Ireland, India, and Palestine, and which the Israeli state absorbed and expanded after 1948.
