Since the Gaza strip was blocked by Israel and a siege was imposed, despite the denunciation of numerous international laws, various attempts have been made to break the siege by activists from around the world, some failing and some coming close to reaching the besieged strip and its people.

John Adam Turnball, a Canadian retired software engineer and activist, who is one of the captains of the ship Handala speaks with Anas Altikriti about the endeavour to break the siege imposed on Gaza, and the varying degrees of success this has encountered over the years.

He speaks about his own personal journey since hearing of Israel and Palestine and the transformation he and his thinking went through over the years. He also speaks of his hopes and aspirations for the younger generation and their fight for truth and justice over the world.

The issue of rights and responsibilities when it comes to RSE in UK schools seem to be an ambiguous issue, which deemed even the PM’s intervention necessary.

So what are the rights of parents to oversee their children’s education and to intervene when they feel they must?

It could be argued that Relationships and Sexual Education is among the top issues in every British Muslim’s mind, indeed in the minds of the majority of Brits, parents particularly. 

Along with a moral stand on the genocide in Gaza, endorsable candidates for the General Election were asked to express their unequivocal stand on this issue as well.

The fact that there is so much ambiguity and lack of clarity when it comes to an issue, the consequences of which so significant, makes this conversation between Yusuf Patel and Anas Altikriti, all the more crucial.

For almost 9 months, the Pro-Palestine coalition has mobilized like it has never mobilized before. Record numbers of protestors, record numbers of events and an unprecedented benchmark for change and effect.

But what next for the Left, as well as for Britain as a whole?

Over 15 national protests, hundreds of local and regional events and millions of protestors who have incessantly come out in support of the victims of Gaza over close to 9 months, in an unprecedented show of support and solidarity.

Anas Altikriti talks with Chris Nineham who traces back this movement to the days of the Afghanistan and then Iraq wars over 20 years ago, and the political and social upheavals that have occurred since, allowing for this tremendous mobilization to be possible.

They discuss Palestine, the British and European Left, the Corbyn years leading Labour and the future of Britain amid the coming general election.

Whilst the world focuses on the genocide unfolding in Gaza, Kashmir continues to endure its own occupation and cultural, religious and ethnic annihilation by Indian authorities, amid indifference from its supposedly closest allies.

Kashmir has been occupied by India since 1947, and despite UN resolutions and international agreements pertaining to a referendum by the people of Kashmir, India continues to ignore all of that, favouring mass murder, annihilation, torture and cultural and physical genocide instead, relying on its standing as a global economic powerhouse.

Zaffar Ahmad Quraishi speaks with Anas Altikriti to discuss how further light could be shed on this issue and the scenarios for a resolution.
