Palestinian journalist from Gaza Ahmed Alnaouq is joined by renowned historian and author Vijay Prashad. Through the lens of hyper-imperialism, they unravel U.S. foreign policy—from Venezuela to Gaza, Iran to Greenland—and the global rise of the far right.
Venezuela’s president was abducted last week in a U.S. military operation that left at least 80 people dead, including 32 Cubans tasked with protecting President Nicolás Maduro. Just days earlier, Israel’s prime minister — international fugitive Benjamin Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes — departed Washington, D.C., after being warmly received by U.S. officials.
Vijay has written more than forty books, including Washington Bullets and The Darker Nations: A People’s History of the Third World. He is the executive director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, chief correspondent for Globetrotter, and chief editor of LeftWord Books in New Delhi.
