  • Refaat Alareer's voice from the archives
    Jan 29 2025

    *Friend of the show Nora Barrows-Friedman collected some of Refaat's audio archive.*

    In a special audio podcast episode dedicated to the voice and the words of Dr. Refaat Alareer, we weave together five separate interviews we conducted between 2014 and 2018. Alareer was a beloved professor, poet and mentor who helped sharpen countless young minds and who still inspires people all over the world. He was murdered by Israel on 6 December, 2023, along with six other members of his family in Gaza.

  • Tankie Group Therapy #30: They will never break them (or us)
    Jan 19 2025

    Lara Sheehi joins as our therapist with Jon Elmer(successfully pressured by your comments on the Day 467 Sit Rep), Nora, Mikey, Alex, and Joe. Hours before the ceasefire is set to go into effect, we debrief our worry, our awe and pride in the Palestinians, our rage at genocide, why we did this series of so-called "tankie therapy" and why some of us had to avoid it sometimes over the past 15 months. Will this be the last one?
