This episode is an interview between AFMN's lead editor Anton Manley and Matteo Capasso, Marxist Academic and Chief Editor of Middle East Critique. In this debut episode, we cover the rapidly escalating situation in Lebanon by touching on the pager attack and the Martyrdom of Nasrallah as it relates to the military and strategic capabilities of Hezbollah.

In this episode, we explore the life and politics of the martyr Nizar Banat, the Palestinian activist who fearlessly critiqued corruption within the Palestinian Authority until his tragic death. We delve into Banat’s legacy, his calls for reform, adherence to support for the resistance and how his activism resonated with movements beyond Palestine. We then turn to Iran we take a critical look at the so-called “Women, Life, Freedom” movement in Iran, dissecting the political agendas behind it and its alignment with Western narratives that aim to destabilize the Iranian government.

**Recorded on May 22nd, 2024** In this episode of The Resistance Report, we delve into the powerful wave of student-led protests known as the Student Intifada, which has swept across global campuses in a fervent call for Palestinian rights. Abdullah Shehadeh hosts Olive, a New York-based seminarian and activist, to explore the dynamics of this movement and its impact on Palestinian liberation and the situation in Gaza. Olive shares firsthand insights from the student protests at Columbia University, where the movement gained significant traction. We discuss key statistics, such as the impressive number of global encampments and student arrests, and the unique characteristics of these protests compared to previous movements. Olive also reflects on the evolution of tactics and the importance of tangible demands, contrasting the effectiveness of current strategies with past attempts. The episode also examines the broader implications of the Student Intifada, including its role in raising awareness, influencing political discourse, and pressuring institutions. We highlight the fracturing Israeli political landscape and the evolving stance of the international community, with a focus on how the student movement fits into the larger struggle for justice and resistance.

In this episode, Abdullah Shehadeh is invited to discuss the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh and its ramifications on the region on the show ‘Guerrilla History' with Adnan Hussein, Henry Hakamäki and Matteo Capasso.
