  • ‘Common enemy’: the Epstein class behind Oslo’s failure | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani
    Feb 18 2026

    In this episode of Palestine This Week, we ask whether the two-state solution has finally run out of graves to bury it in. As Israel tightens its grip on the occupied West Bank and rewrites the Oslo framework in real time, we examine the collapse of diplomatic illusions and the rise of raw power politics.

    We unpack the shifting narrative around Gaza’s death toll, Israel’s parallel aid system, Netanyahu’s Washington visit and growing fractures inside the US conservative base over Israel.

    And in a deeper dive, we explore the idea of a “common enemy” — from the legacy of Oslo to the emergence of what some are calling the Epstein class — and what that says about the global networks shaping the fate of Palestine.

  • The predicted 'collapse of Israel before its centenary' | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani
    Feb 11 2026

    Is Israel collapsing before its centenary? In this episode of Palestine This Week, we examine warnings from a former Israeli major general that the state may not exist by 2048, citing internal fracture and growing international isolation. We analyse how the language of ceasefire now functions to manage, rather than end, Palestinian death and destruction, while dismantling Israeli claims used to justify the high civilian toll.

    The episode investigates evidence that prohibited weapons have erased thousands of bodies in Gaza, the killing of a 14-year-old boy left to bleed to death in the illegally occupied West Bank amid accelerated settler expansion, signs of democratic retrenchment in the UK through the criminalisation of Palestine solidarity, and a looming scandal inside Human Rights Watch over the Palestinian right of return.

    Chapters:
    00:00 Introduction & Overview
    01:52 Ceasefire as cover for continuing genocide
    08:14 Hearing voices from Gaza
    09:30 Gaza and the collapse of legal and moral limits on killing
    18:03 Urban warfare and the deliberate devaluing of Palestinian life
    22:13 The killing of 14-year-old Jadallah Jadallah in the West Bank
    32:15 Christian Zionism and the exodus of Christians from the Holy Land
    38:35 Former Israeli general warns of Israel’s collapse by 2048
    46:52 Human Rights Watch shelves right of return report
    54:19 UK jury acquits Palestine Action defendants

  • From Jabotinsky to Epstein: Zionism and the Cult of Cruelty | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani
    Feb 3 2026

    Israel now admits Gaza’s death toll—but only after years of denial. Mouin Rabbani joins to explore what this shift means, and how media and political elites helped enable genocide. We look at US complicity, the BBC’s Gaza coverage collapse, and the ideology of Jewish supremacy inside Israel’s government. Plus: the Epstein files, vice as political currency, and Arab states scrambling to prevent war with Iran.

    00:00 Introduction & Overview
    02:30 Why has Israel now accepted Gaza’s death toll after years of denial?
    14:46 Has the media become Israel’s ‘getaway car’ in genocide?
    21:28 Did US envoys help suppress warnings of Gaza becoming an 'apocalyptic wasteland'?
    26:37 Is Jewish supremacy ideology now mainstream in Israeli politics?
    30:04 What does Mike Huckabee’s tribute to Ze’ev Jabotinsky reveal about Israel’s historical trajectory?
    34:42 Is virtue signalling being replaced by vice signalling in Western politics?
    40:15 Why is the global far right flocking to Jerusalem and promoting the ‘great replacement’ myth?
    42:18 Do the Epstein files point to Mossad ties and deeper political compromise?
    51:27 Are Arab states trying to prevent a catastrophic US-Israel war on Iran?
