Gaza Fights Back is a MintPress News original documentary, directed by Dan Cohen. It tells the story of how Gaza's armed resistance intervened in occupied Jerusalem as Israeli settlers expelled Palestinians from their homes and created provocations at the al-Aqsa compound. Featuring rare interviews with the Palestinian armed resistance and innocent victims of Israeli aggression, Gaza Fights Back offers a unique look at how Hamas' armed wing outwitted the region's most powerful military, and the toll exacted against the civilian population.
Join Dan Cohen and former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter for a live discussion on the Ukraine/Russia war, Pentagon-funded Bio-Labs in Ukraine and European Union censorship.

For this latest episode of “The Watchdog”, Lowkey again talks to Alan MacLeod, this time about the BBC’s extremely close links to the ruling Conservative Party. While often criticized by right-wingers as a bastion of liberalism, a multitude of top BBC executives and directors are directly linked to Toryism. For example, BBC chairman Richard Sharp was a senior adviser to many top Tories, including both former prime minister Boris Johnson and Sunak himself. Sharp has also donated at least £400,000 to the party. Meanwhile, as MacLeod noted, the BBC’s former head of political programming, Robbie Gibb – the brother of a Tory cabinet minister – left the broadcasting corporation to become the director of communications for Conservative prime minister Theresa May.

Welcome to the re-launch of MintPress News’ “Behind the Headline.” We’re excited to be partnering with Free Speech TV to produce this show as a Twenty Eight - minute, commercial-free program that will air on cable, Dish Network and Roku.
(01:36) In this premier episode of Behind The Headline, MintPress News editor in chief and your host, Mnar Muhawesh, starts the show by breaking down the Syrian opposition slated to lead peace talks, whom the media has conveniently called "moderate". But a deeper dive into these groups and who's backing them don't seem to fit the definition of "moderate".
(07:57) Muhawesh goes on to ask Brandon Garrett, law professor at the University of Virginia and author of 'Too Big To Jail' why banksters responsible for the 2008 economic quagmire haven't been prosecuted but are receiving bonuses, while Iceland jailed it's 29th banker responsible for those crimes.
(17:30) Lastly, Kevin Zeese organizer of Popular Resistance, who has flooded congress with thousands of signed petitions opposing the TPP and organized hundreds of rallies against the Obama administration signing of TPP, joins Ms. Muhawesh to talk about how TPP is the US empire's pivot Asia against China's growing influence on the global economy.

YouTube Description: Prior to the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the Taliban had banned farmers from cultivating opium poppy, the plant from which heroin is derived. But not long after the Taliban was overthrown in the wake of 9/11 poppy production in Afghanistan skyrocketed, eventually flooding global drug markets and giving rise to a heroin epidemic that’s killed 10,000 Americans in 2014 alone. In this segment of “Behind the Headline,” Mnar Muhawesh looks at how the “War on Terror” and the “War on Drugs” overlapped in Afghanistan, leaving in their wake a legacy of death, addiction and government corruption tainting Afghan and American soil.

Journalists Laith Marouf and Marwa Osman join the MintCast Podcast to discuss the recent blast that destroyed much of Lebanon’s capital Beirut. The blast occurred in a context of rapid economic decline, increasing public outrage over corruption -- including from Washington -- and Western economic sanctions that have squeezed the country dry.
Welcome to MintCast -- an interview series featuring dissenting voices the establishment would rather silence-- with your host Mnar Muhawesh Adley.
Lebanon is reeling from a blast that destroyed much of the capital Beirut on Tuesday, August 4. 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate in the city’s port is thought to have caught fire and exploded, killing at least 157 people and injuring thousands more. The blast, believed to be one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history, destroyed much of the city and has left an estimated 300,000 people homeless.
Exploiting this tragedy are the usual suspects within Western media and government including the United States and Israel who are beating the drums of war as they try to blame Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah for the massive explosion.
Joining us today to discuss this and what could this mean for the region and world are two independent journalists and analysts who lived through the blast, Laith Marouf and Marwa Osman.
Laith Marouf is a journalist, geopolitical analyst, and activist who has served as Canadian National Chair of the group, Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights. He was the Executive Director of Concordia University Television in Montreal and currently lives in Beirut where he saw first hand the devastation caused by the August 4 explosion.
Marwa Osman is a lecturer at the Lebanese International University and Maaref University. She’s also the host of the MidEaStream broadcasted on Al-Etejah English Channel. Her writing focuses primarily on Middle Eastern issues and can be found in a wide range of outlets, including Press TV. Like Marouf, Osman is a resident of Beirut.
The explosion could barely have come at a worse time for Lebanon, which is suffering through an economic meltdown, with a collapsing currency, rampant inflation, employment difficult to come by, and food becoming increasingly scarce. Worse still, the country’s Economy Minister Raoul Nehme confirmed that grain silos at the port, containing around 15,000 tons of wheat, were destroyed. As a result, the country has barely a few weeks of food in reserve.
Hospitals, already feeling the strain due to the worsening coronavirus outbreak, have been overwhelmed, and have been forced to turn away many arriving for urgently needed medical care. With the city destroyed, roads closed and vehicles upended, most of Beirut’s residents have had little option other than to s

As China continues to rise, and the U.S. continues to attempt to dominate the world, Northeast Asia is becoming an increasingly crucial battleground. The United States is currently trying to encircle China with a network of hundreds of military bases, while building up a trilateral military alliance with South Korea and Japan. But many in those countries want to be free of U.S. domination.
Today’s MintCast focuses on Japan, Korea, and how deeply the United States has crafted and shaped the internal politics of those nations. Our guest today is Tim Shorrock, a writer and commentator who has covered the region since the 1970s. Growing up in Japan, Tim has covered Korea for The Nation magazine since 1983. His writing can also be found at his personal website, TimShorrock.com.
