Palestine may be the frontline, but the war on truth and resistance is global.
From militarised streets in America to the shattered ruins of Gaza, in this episode of The Tea with Myriam François we sit down with Bassam Haddad, founding director of the Middle East and Islamic Studies Program at George Mason University, to explore the collapse of liberal democracy, the rise of authoritarianism, and the deep connections between the escalating repression in the US and the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
We dig into how disinformation, censorship and repression are increasingly being used to silence pro-Palestinian voices, and how both Democratic and Republican leadership have paved the way for today’s repression.
As Israel loses the battle for public opinion, we examine its pivot to paid propaganda and the erosion of its victimhood narrative.
We unpack:
⚠️ How the Democrats “set the table” for today’s repression
⚠️ The role of disinformation, AI, and tech censorship in silencing Palestine advocacy
⚠️ What’s truly at stake in the current ceasefire talks
⚠️ Why Israel is buying support to prop up its collapsing narrative
⚠️ What the "axis of resistance" in the Middle East looks like today
⚠️ What’s happening in Syria
This is a sobering, unflinching conversation about empire, complicity, and the urgent need to resist.
