Can DSA Hold Mamdani Accountable? Its Co-Chairs Respond

Rania Khalek Dispatches ·

2025/12/09

A DSA member just won one of the most significant left-wing electoral victories in recent memory with Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York — despite red-baiting, anti-Palestinian smears, and a full-on campaign to demonize socialism. But that victory has raised big questions: Why keep Jessica Tisch as NYPD commissioner? Why discourage a primary against Hakeem Jeffries — and then endorse him for Speaker? What does accountability look like when socialists actually win power? To unpack all this,...

2025/11/22

As the world slides deeper into imperial rot — from Trump’s transformation of the U.S. into a Department of War state, to Europe’s political collapse, to global leaders shamelessly bowing to Washington — a socialist shockwave has erupted in New York City: Zohran Mamdani has just won the mayoral race while proudly defending Palestine. What does this contradiction reveal about the global moment we’re living in? Yanis Varoufakis — economist, political leader, former Greek finance minister, and a...

2025/11/14

As Israel continues its relentless assault on Gaza, killing and starving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with Western backing, even during so-called ceasefires, one thing has become clear: this isn’t just about Palestine. It’s about Western supremacy, empire, and the racism that underpins them both. To discuss this, Rania Khalek is joined by Dr. Ghada Karmi — academic, physician, and Nakba survivor — who has written powerfully about how Western imperialism, Arab complicity, and Zionism...

Trump’s LIES about Venezuela EXPOSED

Rania Khalek Dispatches ·

2025/11/10

Dozens have been killed in U.S. airstrikes on boats off the Venezuelan and Colombian coasts. The Trump administration claims it’s targeting drug traffickers — but there’s no evidence. And now they’re threatening airstrikes inside Venezuela. U.S. warships now encircle Venezuela, joined by 10,000 troops and the Navy’s largest aircraft carrier. This is a war in slow motion, justified by recycled lies, CIA covert ops, and billionaire-backed propaganda. Rania Khalek speaks with Zoe Alexandra, mana...

2025/10/24

Big Tech loves to sell itself as a liberatory force for connection, free speech, and empowerment. But when it comes to Palestine, those same companies have partnered with Israel to censor, surveil, and criminalize. To unpack this “digital settler colonialism,” Rania Khalek was joined by Omar Zahzah, Assistant Professor of AMED Studies at San Francisco State University and author of "Terms of Servitude: Zionism, Silicon Valley, and Digital Settler/Colonialism in the Palestine Liberation Strugg...

Is Zionism Collapsing? w/ Historian Ilan Pappé

Rania Khalek Dispatches ·

2025/09/19

What we’re witnessing in Gaza is not just another chapter of Zionism — it’s the final stage. That’s the argument of Israeli historian Ilan Pappé, who joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches to explain how Zionism is in fact “collapsing” even in its most ruthless moment. He discusses Israeli society is fracturing from within, the impact of Trump’s return, Israel’s widening regional war, and what a post-Israel Palestine could look like.

2025/09/17

Israel and its U.S. backers are advancing a clear project: Greater Israel. That means weakening every state in the Levant, fueling sectarianism, and pressuring Lebanon to disarm — leaving the south of the country defenseless. But disarming resistance in the middle of Israel’s expansion isn’t peace. It’s surrender. So how should the Levant respond? Rania Khalek speaks with Antoun Issa, co-founder of DeepCut News, about the rise of “Greater Israel,” why disarmament would be catastrophic for Leb...

U.S. military veteran Greg Stoker joins Dispatches from the ship deck of the Global Sumud Flotilla, comprised of dozens of boats that just launched from Barcelona with the goal of breaking Israel’s starvation siege on Gaza. Stoker, who served in the U.S. Army, explains why he chose to risk his life by joining the flotilla, how his military experience radicalized him on Palestine, and what it means for veterans to stand against U.S. empire. He responds to Israeli threats against the flotil...

2025/09/03

Israel murdered Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022, then lied about it. The Biden administration helped them cover it up. Now, Israel is targeting even more journalists — with impunity. Rania Khalek is joined by Dion Nissenbaum, executive producer of the new documentary “Who Killed Shireen?” and Lina Abu Akleh, human rights advocate and Shireen’s niece, to discuss the murder, the media disinformation campaign, the U.S. obstruction of justice, and why Israel is deliber...

2025/08/22

The Western elite once claimed ignorance during the Holocaust. Today, Israel’s genocide in Gaza unfolds in full view, yet nothing is done. The most powerful states arm the perpetrator while the “Responsibility to Protect” doctrine they have long celebrated is now ignored, except where it continues to serve the U.S. empire. Historian Tarik Cyril Amar joins Rania Khalek to discuss the hypocrisy of R2P, why no coalition has formed to intervene, the weaponization of Holocaust memory, Europe’s em...

2025/08/20

Trump met with Putin. Hillary Clinton praised his “better understanding” of Ukraine. Europe bowed its head and posed for a photo. And Ukraine? Still collapsing — politically and militarily. After terrible human suffering, the war is lost, arms control is dead, and sanctions have failed. Meanwhile, BRICS can’t stop U.S. rampaging in the Middle East, and Europe remains the obedient junior partner, with its leaders now fully committed to a policy of senseless militarization.

Starvation. Mass death. Children wasting away on camera. And still, no consequences. Rania Khalek is joined by Abby Martin to expose the full horror of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, the complicity of liberals who stay silent or worse, and the surreal reality in which Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candice Owens and Tucker Carlson speak out.

Israel has turned Gaza into a giant kill zone, with hundreds of Palestinians — including many children — gunned down while trying to collect food at so-called “humanitarian” distribution centers. With the help of Corporate America, the genocide has been operationalized, normalized, and broadcast in real time. Craig Mokhiber joins Rania Khalek live on Dispatches to discuss the method behind Israel’s madness, the collapse of international law, the U.S. sanctioning UN officials while de-listing...

The U.S. has officially joined Israel’s war on Iran, bombing Iranian nuclear sites and obliterating what was left of the nuclear talks. With Trump hinting at regime change, the world is now watching to see how Iran will respond. Is this the end of diplomacy? Does Iran now view nuclear weapons as the only way to deter U.S. and Israeli aggression? Can Iran survive?

As Israel’s war on Iran escalates, the media continues to flip the script—framing Israel as the victim and Iran as the aggressor, despite Israel initiating the conflict with bombings, assassinations, and covert attacks. In this special live episode of Dispatches, Rania Khalek is joined by political analyst Assal Rad to expose the media’s double standards, the U.S. role in orchestrating the war under the false pretense of diplomacy, and the bigger geopolitical consequences of this growing co...

Journalist Nora Barrows-Friedman joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches for a fearless conversation on Zionist indoctrination in the Jewish diaspora, how antisemitism is being weaponized to silence critics of Israel, and how Jewish identity politics has been manipulated to cover for unspeakable crimes...

Zionism didn’t just dispossess Palestinians, it also helped destroy centuries-old Jewish communities across the Arab world. Historian Avi Shlaim, born in Baghdad and now a leading voice in exposing Zionist mythology, joins Dispatches to reveal how Israel used false flag terror attacks, including Mossad-led bombings in Iraq, to force Arab Jews to flee.
