   S4 | E19 - America’s Irreversible Turn Against Israel

   In this episode of Reel Talk, Daizy Gedeon sits down with Dr James Zogby, founder of the Arab American Institute and a veteran voice in American politics, to examine the growing backlash against Israel, the impact of the war in Gaza on American public opinion, and the political forces challenging Washington’s long-standing position. From US military aid and AIPAC’s influence on elections to young Americans questioning traditional political loyalties, this conversation explores a fundamental shift in the debate over Israel, Palestine, and American foreign policy. Dr Zogby also examines the consequences for Lebanon and the wider Middle East, the struggle for Palestinian rights, and the growing tensions surrounding freedom of speech and political accountability. Is America’s relationship with Israel reaching a historic turning point and can this shift translate into lasting political change? 🎙️ Listen to this episode of Reel Talk for an in-depth conversation about power, public opinion, Palestine, Gaza, Lebanon, and the future of US-Israel relations.

   S4 | Special Report - Inside the Ruins of South Lebanon

   A special report from Nabatieh, South Lebanon, with Daizy Gedeon. This is not a typical episode of Reel Talk. This time, I went to South Lebanon to witness the devastation firsthand, meet the people living through it, and hear the stories behind the ruins. In September, I returned to a region I had been afraid to visit since October 2023. Accompanied by my cameraman, Malek, and my friend Abbas Al-Hajj Ahmad, I travelled to Nabatieh to see what remained of his home and to meet the people who had stayed behind. What we encountered was heartbreaking. A once-thriving town, known for its markets, businesses, schools, and community life, had been profoundly transformed by destruction. Behind the damaged buildings are families grieving loved ones, business owners rebuilding again and again, healthcare workers continuing their work, and residents trying to hold on to the lives they built. In this special report, I speak with people whose stories reveal the human cost of the destruction: a father who lost his only son, Nabatieh’s mayor working from a makeshift office after the municipal centre was destroyed, a café owner who has rebuilt his business three times, and residents determined not to abandon their hometown. These are not just images of ruined buildings. They are stories of loss, resilience, dignity, and a community refusing to disappear. I made this report because the people of South Lebanon deserve to be seen and heard. Their stories must not be forgotten, and their suffering must not become another headline that the world moves on from. This is Reel Talk, a special report on, from, and for the people of South Lebanon. 🎧 Listen, share this episode, and help bring these stories to a wider audience.

   S4 | E14 - DOES NAZI GERMANY HAVE A RIGHT TO EXIST?

   A surgeon stood outside the US Embassy in London and called Israel a “genocidal settler colonial entity.” Within days, he was suspended by his hospital and arrested at his home. I sit down with Dr. Ranjeet Brar, consultant vascular and endovascular surgeon at King’s College Hospital, to discuss the speech that triggered the fallout, his fight over free speech, and his legal challenges to the NHS’s use of the IHRA definition of antisemitism. We also discuss his account of what happened to a colleague in Gaza and the wider questions this case raises about political speech, professional consequences, and the boundaries of free expression. 🎧 Listen to the full conversation on Spotify.
