Palestinian news for the week of August 20th to the 27th, 2026

Russell "Jolly" Ellis, known as Jolly Good Ginger, is a North Carolina-born social media activist and former contestant on *Survive the Raft*. With millions of followers across social media, he focuses on deconstructing his upbringing in a racist, white supremacist household to educate others, advocating for racial justice and accountability across American systems. He’s not a standard political creator. He’s a loud, profane, unapologetic, anti-racist white Southern man who uses humor, anger, and authenticity to call out white supremacy and MAGA extremism from inside the culture that created it. He’s rare. He’s needed…and He is our guest today

Despite all the damage that this conservative-leaning Supreme Court has wrought on women’s rights, immigration, and the environment while green lighting runaway presidential lawlessness, the longest lasting legacy of the Roberts Court may well be its turning back the clock on voting rights. Recent Supreme Court decisions are throwing us back to the 1950s and putting our very democracy in peril. This week’s ruling, which allowed the Trump administration to move forward with an executive order imposing restrictions on mail-in voting, was yet another stain on the current Court’s record. Today on Sea Change Radio, we are joined by Dr. Carol Anderson, a professor of African American Studies at Emory University, to discuss her 2018 book “One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy.” We explore the patterns of limiting access to the ballot box and look at how debates over voter ID and "election integrity" are really just dressed up solutions in search of a problem.

Today we open a door into a world that has been deliberately kept in the shadows, a world of alliances, cults, collapses, and confrontations that shape global politics far more than any headline ever admits. This episode brings together five stories, five investigations, five revelations that expose the machinery behind the chaos we are living through now. Earlier, I was listening to Olivia Swing, sharp, unfiltered, relentless. She walks straight into the subjects others avoid, and in her latest work she exposes the cult surrounding Israel, a political force so powerful it bends institutions, silences dissent and reshapes American policy without ever being named. She reveals how loyalty to Israel has become a doctrine inside Western politics enforced through pressure, money, and fear, and how this cult is now fracturing the American right from within. Then we move to the Iran connection no one is talking about a network of influence built not through war, but through patience, leverage, and strategic pressure points across the Gulf, Asia, Europe, and even inside the United States. Iran’s power is not loud. It is structural. It is embedded in energy routes, alliances, cyber capabilities, and the mistakes of its enemies. It is a rise the world pretends not to see. From there, we shift to a story shaking the region: Turkey’s military rise and Israel’s growing fear, intensified by Trump arming Ankara with systems that tilt the balance of power. Turkey’s drones dominate battlefields. Its navy expands. Its alliances deepen. Its rhetoric sharpens. Israel watches a rival emerge, not a distant threat, but a regional force capable of challenging its dominance. The question becomes unavoidable: is confrontation coming? And then we confront the collapse of a myth: the suffocation of the American military machine. Not through defeat, but through logistics, broken supply lines, outdated factories, vulnerable networks, and a military giant unable to sustain itself in real conflict. The empire is not falling from the outside. It is choking from within. Finally, we arrive at the conversation of the century, a reimagined broadcast that ties all these threads together. A conversation about power, fear, alliances, and the narratives that governments use to keep the public distracted while the real decisions happen behind closed doors. These stories are not separate. They are one system. One architecture. One hidden map of how the world truly works. And today, we bring it into the light. If you have thoughts, I want to hear them. Email me at TWIPpodcasts@gmail.com and tell me how you see it. This is This Week in Palestine.

In this interview, Professor Claudia von Werlhof states that capitalism is just the latest phase of an age-old patriarchal dream that would replace the dependency on women and nature with an artificial world. This failed fantasy feeds both gnostic religion and the thirst for war. The only solution, she says, is that Men have to realize that life is here, they are here, they belong to life.
