The Christmas Truce was an unofficial cease-fire on parts of the Western Front. Guns fell silent for one to several days. Soldiers emerged from the trenches and talked, exchanged gifts and kicked around a soccer ball. Trenches were close in some places, separated by 50 yards or less. The Story of the Christmas Truce WWI is a documentary film about this spontaneous cease-fire. Thanks to historians Peter Hart, Taff Gillingham and Robin Schaefer, and their choice of rare documentary photos, footage and archived letters from soldiers of both sides. This archival TUC Radio program first went into distribution on December 13, 2022. By coincidence on the same day that nearly 1,000 faith leaders called for a temporary ceasefire in the War in Ukraine. They wrote that a Christmas Truce can offer an opportunity for moral clarity and could be the first step toward a negotiated peace.

Khadija Mohamed is a now-31-year-old nurse, who in 2019 inspired and co-founded a massive project in Kenya known as Red Splash. It holds blood-donor recruitment festivals designed to attract youth, screens and educates potential donors, and has an online app to connect nearby donors with patients of the same blood type. By providing the free blood to which patients are entitled, Red Splash has also put blood brokers and their cartels out of business. Red Splash has over 500 volunteers, and without any funding has already brought in more than 25,000 units of blood. Each unit is enough for three patients. They are hoping to expand and some day have their own mobile blood collection unit and blood bank.

Tonight I’m paying tribute to the martyred Palestinian poet and educator Refaat Alareer. Two years ago, on December 6 2023, the forces of the Zionist occupation murdered Refaat in an attempt to steal his voice. As if a missile could silence a poet and erase his words. Two years on, that voice is as strong as ever. Immortal. I’ll be reading an article he wrote called “Narrating Palestine” and I’m also going to be performing some of his poems.

Scientists find a control knob for climate feedbacks in the Southern Ocean. Two experts with years of research and publications: Dr. Zach Kaufman at Scripps Institute in San Diego, and Professor Richard Williams, University of Liverpool. The Southern Ocean stores most heat and almost half the carbon we add to the atmosphere. We would be cooked without it.

This collection of words, testimonies, and scripts is not simply a broadcast—it is a record of truth. Today we traced the crimes of settlers in the West Bank, the genocide unfolding in Gaza, and the silence of governments that enable Israel’s destruction. We named Zionism for what it is: an ideology of erasure, a system of violence that has brought misery and insecurity to millions. We remembered the fallen children like Hind Rajab, doctors who healed under fire, journalists who carried the truth, activists who gave their lives, and allies aboard the Freedom Flotilla. We honored the voices of conscience across the globe, from students in American universities to Jewish thinkers who dismantled Zionist myths, to everyday workers who marched in solidarity. We spoke of resistance: resistance in olive trees, in sand, in memory, in testimony. Resistance in refusing silence, in exposing lies, in carrying forward the flame of justice. And we named the enablers—the Western powers whose weapons, money, and silence sustain apartheid. This is not polite avoidance. This is bold testimony. It is urgent truth‑telling. It is unapologetic solidarity. The struggle for Palestine is not confined to one land, one people, or one moment. It is shared. It is global. And it is sacred. Stay with us. This is This Week in Palestine. And this is where the silence ends.

On June 13th, 2024, Israel and the United States launched a 12-day war on Iran. Al-Jazeera’s Fault Lines series executive producer Laila Al-Arian joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah to talk about their latest documentaries: Target Tehran about the human cost of Israel’s attacks on Iran, as well as The Disappearance of Dr. Abu Safiya, about the pediatrician in northern Gaza abducted by the IDF. They also discuss how Western media and politicians continue to minimize or ignore the ongoing genocide. On the Resistance Report, the Electronic Intifada’s Jon Elmer covers confrontations against the IDF’s Five Stones operation in the West Bank with locally manufactured Carlo pistols, grenades and IEDs as Israeli demolitions target the northern refugee camps of Jenin, Tulkarm and Nur Shams. And we hear about how daily life in Gaza means finding water, paying $10 for an onion at the market and getting together with the friends who remain.
