On today’s episode, Oden talk to Maryam Alaniz, a PhD student and writer for Left Voice’s international section, about the struggle in Palestine. Maryam explains how the rightward shift in Israeli politics and decline of U.S. hegemony globally has sowed the seeds for the current conflict. They discuss how support for Palestinian liberation does not mean supporting the tactics and strategy of Hamas, and why popular support for the struggle in Palestine has surged around the world. Finally, they discuss they see as the solution to this conflict and what the role is of the working class and the Left. 

Workers across the world have the power to mobilize to grind the war machinery to a halt, and to unite to fight for a single, secular, socialist Palestine on its historic territory, with democratic rights for all its inhabitants.
