    Cancelled by Israel: Canada human rights pro Birju Dattani speaks out
    2025/04/09
    Birju Dattani's tenure as Canada's chief human rights commissioner was short-lived. After holding the post for less than a year, Dattani was forced to resign by a smear campaign targeting him for his social media posts criticizing Israel. Now, Dattani is suing his critics, and joins The Marc Steiner Show to discuss his case and the wider implications for human rights and free speech in countries backing Israel's genocide of Palestinians.

  • Mahmoud Khalil's abduction and Trump's escalating war on the Palestine movement

    Mahmoud Khalil's abduction and Trump's escalating war on the Palestine movement
    2025/03/25
    Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student activist at Columbia University, is currently in ICE detention facing deportation proceedings—and the future of free speech in America hangs on the outcome of his case. Khalil, who has permanent resident status, was illegally abducted by ICE agents in front of his pregnant wife on March 8, sparking national and international outrage and raising alarms about what his extrajudicial abduction and imprisonment means for the present and future of civil liberties in Trump's America. Michael Arria, a reporter with Mondoweiss, joins The Marc Steiner Show to discuss the current status of Khalil’s case and the rapid escalation of Trump's crackdown on political dissent and the movement for Palestine.

    Michael Arria is the US correspondent at Mondoweiss, a website of news and opinion about Palestine, Israel, and the United States. He is also the author of Medium Blue: The Politics of MSNBC.

    How America can learn democracy—from the rest of the world
    2025/02/18
    The view from inside the United States has many wondering if the days of democracy are numbered, but that's not the story everywhere. In spite of a global surge in far-right politics, many countries are still making progressive strides and demonstrating the problems facing the US have real, proven solutions. Natasha Hakimi Zapata, author of Another World is Possible, joins The Marc Steiner Show for a globetrotting discussion from Estonia to Costa Rica about where democracy is actually thriving—and why.

  • She was fired for pro-Palestine speech. She's a Jewish professor.

    She was fired for pro-Palestine speech. She's a Jewish professor.
    2025/01/07
    While teaching at Muhlenberg College, Maura Finkelstein made no secret of her support for Palestinian liberation. Even before receiving tenure, Finkelstein taught courses on Palestine and made her views publicly known. Then, in May of 2024, she was unceremoniously fired for sharing pro-Palestine content on her personal social media account. Finkelstein joins The Marc Steiner Show to discuss her journey as an anti-Zionist Jewish American, and why she's willing to stand by her principles despite the consequences.

  • 'We are destroying entire worlds': A West Bank rabbi's fight against Israeli Occupation

    'We are destroying entire worlds': A West Bank rabbi's fight against Israeli Occupation
    2024/12/10
    It's no secret that Israel has sought to fully annex the West Bank for decades—and now, many believe the time may be near. For Rabbi Arik Ascherman, the struggle to defend Palestinians in the West Bank from settler attacks has become his life's work. But it's a task that is only becoming more difficult with time, as the extreme dehumanization of Palestinians becomes all-the-more normalized by the genocide in Gaza. Ascherman returns to The Marc Steiner Show to discuss the brutal violence unfolding in the West Bank, and what, if anything, can be done to address Israel's anti-Palestinian racism.

  • 'Everything is destroyed': Surviving 423 days of genocide in Gaza

    'Everything is destroyed': Surviving 423 days of genocide in Gaza
    2024/12/03
    Hunger. Cold. Thirst. Disease. These are the daily realities of life in Gaza, where for the past 423 days Israel has unleashed a genocide that will come to define our contemporary era. As Palestinians struggle to meet their daily needs, they are also faced with a battle to preserve their memories and dignity. Over the past year, journalist and filmmaker Ruwaida Amer has produced numerous powerful, heart-wrenching documentary reports for TRNN from the rubble and ruins of Gaza, shining a light on the darkest realities of Israel's genocidal war on Palestinians, even as she herself suffers from—and struggles to survive—the onslaught. Calling in from Gaza, Amer joins The Marc Steiner Show to share an honest portrait of her life and the lives of her fellow Palestinians in the midst of genocide.

    Studio Production: David Hebden
    Audio Post-Production: Alina Nehlich


    Please watch and share Ruwaida Amer's on-the-ground reports from Gaza for TRNN, including:
    • "Gaza's orphans speak: 'I found [my family] in pieces. In pieces'"
    • "Palestinians pray in the ruins of Gaza's bombed mosques"
    • "'Look at our suffering!': Gaza's message to the world after a year of genocide"
    • "Life for Gaza's children during Israel's genocide"
    • "Gaza's survivors cling to life in Khan Yunis refugee camps"

    The bad, the worse, and the ugly: Trump's incoming cabinet
    2024/11/26
    Not even a month has passed since the presidential election, and the incoming slate of Trump cabinet nominees is already beset with controversy and scandal. But the litany of sex crimes and other misdeeds Trump's appointees are accused of is just the tip of the iceberg—what's even more threatening is the agenda they represent. Journalists and returning guests Steven Monacelli and Jeff Sharlet join The Marc Steiner Show for a breakdown of the incoming cabinet.
