Portada del episodio Before Watermelons, It Was Oranges | The Story of Palestine’s Stolen Symbol

Descripción

Long before the watermelon became a coded symbol of resistance, Palestine was known for its oranges, until Zionism took that too.This is the story of the forgotten story of Jaffa oranges, once a global export proudly grown by Palestinian farmers until Israel kept the fruit, kept the label, and built a national brand off of stolen labor, stolen soil, and a vanished people.Even symbols of life and sustenance get repackaged by settler colonialism. Today, the watermelon fills that role, sharing the same colors as the Palestinian flag — immediately recognizable to anyone who knows what’s being silenced. Knowing that history means knowing how deep the theft goes. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.

episode CALL IT THE EPSTEIN WAR artwork

CALL IT THE EPSTEIN WAR

The Epstein files suggest that if he were ever “cornered like a rat,” a global conflict involving Iran could be triggered. Read that again. One of the most powerful blackmail networks in modern history casually discussing the possibility of a full out war with Iran 5 years ago. And now look at the world around us. Is what we are watching foreign policy or just damage control for the powerful? As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.

This U.S. Congressman Is an AIPAC Millionaire

Congressman Ritchie Torres, once billed as a progressive hero in the Bronx, is a top beneficiary of AIPAC cash. He has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in pro‑Israel lobbying contributions. He is completely bought out by Zionism. Torres’ rise says a lot about the price of bipartisan politics in the era of unchecked foreign‑policy influence. Buildings in his district are collapsing and people are starving yet his main concern remains how the fragile support of the Zionist entity stays in tact.
