Talking Gaza & Iran with Trita Parsi

On 6 October 2025, Trita Parsi and I were guests on the “Community Alliance 4 Peace and Justice.” We discussed the Israeli policy behind the genocide in Gaza; the chances that Trump’s 20-point plan will shut it down; and the likelihood that Israel and the US will attack Iran again.

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

Je viens (seulement) de lire ce livre extraordinaire. Le récit graphique d'une enquête exemplaire sur un massacre perpétré par Israël à Gaza en 1956, enquête menée au début des années 2000, alors que les Gazaouis subissent encore et toujours la répression coloniale.

On the second anniversary of the outbreak of the Gaza war that Hamas initiated with its horrific surprise attack in southern Israel, it’s worth taking stock of the war’s devastating toll. Here's a long thread, which is not exhaustive, of the toll:

@peterwmurphy1.bsky.social

PM @albomp.bsky.social's statement 2 years after the Oct7 attacks is vomitous. No mention of the historical context: the Nakba, Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine, Israel's illegal blockade of Gaza, or 2 years of genocide. Not a single mention of ANY Palestinians being killed at all. 😔 #auspol
