			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Guest: Francesca Albanese, Lubna Speitain, Yara El-Issa, Ahmed AlNaouq
1) Electronic Intifada Newscast; 2) "Truth under the rubble: media in the time of genocide" by Francesca Albanese; 3) ''Zionism is Racism'' by Lubna Speitain, Yara El-Issa, and Ahmed AlNaouq<br> <br>During this episode of Arab Voices, we will have 3 segments:<br> <br>1) Electronic Intifada Newscast - A summary of the latest developments in occupied Palestine and Lebanon, including the ongoing Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, the ongoing Israeli atrocities and ethnic cleansing in the occupied West Bank, and the ongoing relentless Israeli attacks on Lebanon, presented by Nora Barrows-Friedman, associate editor at the Electronic Intifada.<br>  <br>2) "Truth under the rubble: media in the time of genocide" - Francesca Albanese, special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, presenting her newly released report "Truth under the rubble: media in the time of genocide" to the United Nations General Assembly on October 26, 2026. This new report examines how the destruction of truth has become integral to the destruction of a people. It identifies three interconnected patterns: the elimination of Palestinian media workers &ndash; through killing, maiming, arbitrary detention, torture, intimidation and the systematic labelling of them as &ldquo;terrorists&rdquo; &ndash; to suppress the documentation of crimes; the construction of an information regime in Israel through media restrictions, censorship, propaganda, hate speech, genocidal incitement and denial; and the role of influential international media and digital platforms in marginalizing Palestinian voices and reproducing Israeli narratives, normalizing legal distortions, which ultimately legitimized atrocities.<br>  <br>3) ''Zionism is Racism'' - In October 2026, Greens for Palestine held a press conference in the UK about the historic motion ''Zionism is Racism'', that was passed by the Green Party after its members voted to adopt the motion declaring Zionism a form of racism. There were several speakers at that press conference, and we are going to share three of them. We will listen to the remarks of Lubna Speitain, Palestinian activist and lead proposer of Zionism is Racism motion, followed by Yara El-Issa, organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement, followed by Ahmed AlNaouq, Palestinian Journalist, co-founder of We Are Not Numbers, and host of Palestine Deep Dive.]]></itunes:summary>
