Today, we begin with a question that cuts deeper than headlines: What is the war on Gaza really about? They want you to believe it’s religious. They want you to believe it’s ancient hatred or a sudden eruption of violence. But look closer. Think deeper. Because nothing about this war feels spontaneous, accidental, or purely reactive. Was this truly a retaliation for October 7th— or was October 7th the spark that activated a plan already drawn in the shadows? When you watch Gaza being flattened at a pace no military operation could improvise, you start to wonder whether the goal is not retaliation, but removal. Not security, but emptying the land for something else. And here is where the story widens. Some analysts whisper about a future canal— a new trade route that could rival or even replace the Suez Canal. A canal that would run through the very land now being erased. A canal that would shift global power, global trade, global alliances. If such a project existed— who would benefit? Who would lose? Who would quietly support it from behind the curtain? The United States is locked in conflict with Russia and China. China remains the manufacturing engine of the planet. Russia is cut off from Europe and searching for new routes, new partners, new leverage. And the Suez Canal—though Egyptian in name—remains under Western influence. So imagine a new canal emerging. A canal outside Western control. A canal that shifts the balance of power toward Beijing and Moscow. A canal that turns Israel into a strategic command node in a new global supply chain. Is Israel being protected for its own sake— or for a larger geopolitical design? Is Gaza being destroyed for “security”— or for a future that has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with trade, power, and empire? I’m not telling you what to believe. I’m asking you to think. To question. To see the map beneath the rubble. Because wars are never only about what they claim to be. And Gaza—small, besieged, unbroken Gaza— may be sitting on a future powerful nations are willing to destroy an entire people to control. Stay with us. As we peel back the layers. As we follow the money, the routes, the alliances. As we ask the questions the world avoids. This is This Week in Palestine. And today, we look beneath the surface.

Twenty nine political activists associated with the banned group Palestine Action are in British jails. Most have already been held on remand far longer than the normal six-month maximum which the law allows before trial. Four of these political prisoners have now been on hunger strike for well over a month. One of the hunger strikers, Kamran Ahmed, was hospitalized on November 25th due to the effects of the hunger strike on his body, but discharged three days later. Kamran’s sister, Shahmina Alam, and spokesperson from Prisoners for Palestine, Francesca Nadin, join the Electronic Intifada’s Asa Winstanley to discuss the demands of the hunger strikers whose conditions are deteriorating rapidly. Forced and sustained starvation is “shaving years off” of Palestinians’ lives, especially children, whose cognitive and growth development is dependent on good nutrition in their earliest years. Host Nora Barrows-Friedman joins Dr. Thaer Ahmad, an emergency room physician from Health Care Workers for Humanity who has worked extensively in Gaza to discuss Israel’s use of starvation as a key weapon in the genocide.

This episode is “Father David Gierlach - Priest for Peace”. Father Gierlach, originally from upstate NY but now based in Hawaii, was a sucessful attorney for many years, but then chose to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a priest. Unlike most members of the clergy, who go along to get along even if that means ignoring or even supporting war and genocide, Father Gierlach has been outspoken in his insistence that the church must build the beloved community, one based on peace and respect for human rights. Father Gierlach was interviewed by longtime peace activist and civil resister Jack Gilroy on December 16, 2025.

Groovy over the top Cheeze From the 1960s.....fun, yet with a horror movie tone Cheeze from the 1950s, and a Catbox Cover that even Barry Manilow might hate.
