147/ From Capitalism Realism to Solarpunk Realities w/ HydroponicTrash, Luka Dowell, Ariel Kroon

This is an episode that Elia recorded a few months ago. We're releasing it now to take a bit of a break from our exploration of Israel-Palestine and because Solarpunk is how at least one of us, Elia, tries to create hope where none exists. This episode was recorded after the four of us - Elia, Ariel Kroon, Luka Dowell and Andre aka @HydroponicTrash took part in the Solarpunk conference. Solarpunk has an eye to a better future, but how do we get there? What is necessary for us to do, and how can we think differently, in order to make this better future possible? We focus on the relationship between speculative fiction, dual power, world-building, and political action.Support: You can support my work with⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠a one-off or monthly donation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Ko-fiMasterclass on Modern Lebanon:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Registration is now open⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: Subscribe to⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Hauntologies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social Media: I’m on⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Mastodon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact: To collaborate, reach out on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ayoub@thefirethesetimes.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fire These TimesSocial Media: TFTT is on⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Transcription: You can help⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Antidote Zine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ transcribe TFTT episodes⁠⁠⁠⁠ here⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: All episodes are archived ⁠⁠⁠⁠on the website⁠⁠⁠⁠From The PeripheryTFTT is a proud member of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From The Periphery Media Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, which you can support⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠ and follow on⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠.Check out other project wherever you get your podcasts:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Politically Depressed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Syria: The Inconvenient Revolution⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠From The Periphery Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Mutual Aid Podcast⁠⁠⁠Links:https://anarchosolarpunk.substack.comHydroponic Trash on TikTokSolarpunk Now!

Palestine and Global Solidarity - Remastered w/ Sumaya Awad and Shireen Akram-Boshar

In this remastered release, Elia Ayoub is joined by Sumaya Awad and Shireen Akram-Boshar. Awad is a co-editor of the book Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, and Akram-Boshar is a contributor to the same book. Originally released on May 20th 2021, this episode has been remastered and re-released. Many of the topics discussed - including the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, the growing solidarity movements around the globe, the Palestinian struggle for liberation - all resonate in today’s context. This episode serves as a reminder that the recent escalation in Palestine has origins well before Oct 7 and that calls to end Israel’s genocide are growing louder and louder. Support: You can support my work with⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠a one-off or monthly donation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Ko-fiMasterclass on Modern Lebanon:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Registration is now open⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: Subscribe to⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Hauntologies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social Media: I’m on⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Mastodon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact: To collaborate, reach out on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ayoub@thefirethesetimes.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fire These TimesSocial Media: TFTT is on⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Transcription: You can help⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Antidote Zine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ transcribe TFTT episodes⁠⁠⁠⁠ here⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: All episodes are archived ⁠⁠⁠⁠on the website⁠⁠⁠⁠From The PeripheryTFTT is a proud member of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From The Periphery Media Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, which you can support⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠ and follow on⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠.Check out other project wherever you get your podcasts:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Politically Depressed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Syria: The Inconvenient Revolution⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠From The Periphery Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Mutual Aid Podcast⁠⁠⁠Recommendations:Shireen:Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement Paperback by Angela DavisThe Shock Doctrine by Naomi KleinIslamophobia and the Politics of Empire by Deepa KumarA Woman in the Crossfire: Diaries of the Syrian Revolution by Samar YazbeckSumaya:The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati RoySmiley’s People by John le CarréMovies:Qafr Kassem by Borhan AlaouiéThe Feeling of Being Watched by Assia Boundaoui

146/ Jewish Safety Means Palestinian Liberation: Organizing In Israel-Palestine After Oct 7 w/ Sally Abed, Orly Noy and Amjad Iraqi

In episode 146, Elia Ayoub and Dana El-Kurd talk to Sally Abed, Orly Noy and Amjad Iraqi. Abed is a member of the national leadership of Standing Together (עומדים ביחד نقف معًا), a grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel in pursuit of peace, equality, and social and climate justice. Orly Noy is the chair of B'Tselem, arguably Israel's most well-known human rights NGO, and editor of the Hebrew-language news magazine Local Call. Amjad Iraqi is a member of Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network, an editor and writer at +972 Magazine, and previously an advocacy coordinator at Adalah - The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel.In this wide-ranging conversation, the hosts and guests spoke about the current state of Israel's political landscape, from its ongoing "Smotrichization" to the political crackdowns, from the normalization of genocidal rhetoric against Palestinians to the necessity of being "chronically optimistic" to push for change in Israel-Palestine. At a time when Netanyahu and the Israeli far-right have effectively taken over politics, and with so many self-described liberals joining in the calls for violence, principled left-wing voices seem all but gone in Israel. Finally, each guest shares their personal theory of change, offering a glimpse into their vision for the future. Support: You can support my work with⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠a one-off or monthly donation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Ko-fiMasterclass on Modern Lebanon:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Registration is now open⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: Subscribe to⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Hauntologies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social Media: I’m on⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Mastodon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact: To collaborate, reach out on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ayoub@thefirethesetimes.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fire These TimesSocial Media: TFTT is on⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Transcription: You can help⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Antidote Zine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ transcribe TFTT episodes⁠⁠⁠⁠ here⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: All episodes are archived ⁠⁠⁠⁠on the website⁠⁠⁠⁠From The PeripheryTFTT is a proud member of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From The Periphery Media Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, which you can support⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠ and follow on⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠.Check out other project wherever you get your podcasts:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Politically Depressed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Syria: The Inconvenient Revolution⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠From The Periphery Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Mutual Aid Podcast⁠⁠⁠

145/ Arab Jews For Palestinian Liberation w/ Hadar Cohen and Dahab Kashi

Daniel and Elia host a conversation between Hadar Cohen and Dahab Kashi, exploring the radical power of Arab Jewish perspectives. Often seen as mutually exclusive identities, the existence and experience of Arab Jews transcends the narrow, and violent, confines of both Zionism and Arab Nationalism. The artist Yossi Zabari spoke about the power of the 'hyphen connecting Arab and Jew', and in this episode we explore the potential that acknowledging that hyphen has in our current critical moment.

Understanding Hamas: Anti-Authoritarian Perspectives - Remastered

In light of the genocidal onslaught against Palestinians in Gaza following the October 7th Hamas attack, we've decided to re-release an old episode on Hamas, Gaza, and Palestine-Israel. In this episode from June 2021, Elia interviews Tareq Baconi, author of the book "Hamas Contained: The Rise and Pacification of Palestinian Resistance" published in 2018. Baconi meticulously outlines the nature of Israel's blockade on Gaza, the various aspects of Palestinian resistance to ongoing occupation, and contextualizes Hamas's role, structure, and motives within this wider social and political struggle. The audio is remastered and includes a new introduction by Elia that situates this conversation in the post Oct 7th reality.

142/ How the World Failed Nagorno-Karabakh w/ Karena Avedissian & Anna

Elia Ayoub is joined by returning guests Karena Avedissian and Anna to talk about the recent crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh / Artsakh where the near entirety of the ethnic Armenian population was ethnically cleansed by Azerbaijan. The Aliyev dictatorship running Azerbaijan has met no challenges from the so-called international community - quite the contrary. What happened in Nagorno-Karabakh is a crime against humanity, the sort of crime that should never be normalized.
