Episode 244 — Imani Bashir and Ari Honarvar on the Intersection of the War

From Iran to Palestine: Liberation Comes From the People, Not Western War Machines.

On Episode 244 of The Qasim Rashid Show:

I sat down with Iranian scholar Ari Honarvar and activist Imani Bashir to examine the intersection of the ongoing illegal war against Iran and the genocide funded by the U.S. in Palestine. We discussed Imani's firsthand observations from occupied Palestine—including navigating checkpoints, witnessing settler colonization during the olive harvest, and experiencing the harsh realities of segregation. We also explored the parallels of state violence, the humanized experiences of communities under fire, and why true liberation must come from within rather than through Western war machines.
