Summary
The Israeli killing spree in Gaza has sparked a global movement united in support of the Palestinian people. Meanwhile the U.S. government sets imaginary “red lines” while facilitating the genocidal colonial project. This is a turning point in global history, and the Palestine solidarity movement in the West has a crucial role to play.
Brian Becker is joined by Mohammed Nabulsi, organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement and an attorney based out of Houston.

| 0:00.0 | Does the Israeli killing spree in Gaza signal a turning point in the struggle of the Palestinian people for national liberation? |
| 0:11.0 | Will this be remembered as the era of national liberation for a people who were driven from their homes, from their villages, starting 75 years ago and repeatedly |
| 0:23.8 | since, have we entered a new stage in the struggle for Palestinian freedom? |
| 0:31.2 | We need a new system. |
| 0:32.9 | We need a new society. |
| 0:34.8 | We need to demand that which may have sounded impossible even a few weeks ago, |
| 0:39.4 | but is not only realizable, but an imperative necessity. Welcome to the Socialist Program. I'm your host, Brian Becker. |
| 1:10.2 | Today we're talking with |
| 1:11.5 | Muhammad Nabolsi. He is an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement and an attorney based |
| 1:17.5 | in Houston, Texas. Muhammad, welcome back to the show. Thank you for having me again. |
| 1:23.2 | Muhammad, history is filled with all sorts of ironies. You can't look at Gaza and not come to the |
| 1:29.0 | conclusion that this appears to be the darkest moment for the people of Palestine, certainly for |
| 1:35.1 | the people of Gaza, the genocide, the killing of 30,000-plus people, thousands and thousands |

| 1:46.4 | And at the same time, the global outrage against the genocide has become, I believe, a material |
| 1:53.6 | factor in the overarching movement for Palestinian freedom. The Israeli government and its |
| 2:00.6 | U.S. sponsor are completely isolated. |
| 2:03.5 | We have recordings from the so-called Anti-Defamation League, and I'm going to read a little bit of a |
| 2:08.5 | transcript. These are the pro-Zionist sort of propaganda units inside the United States who believe |
| 2:15.1 | that the public opinion has turned so decidedly in the United |
| 2:19.0 | States that it's a huge, what they call a major, major, major problem. I'm going to go over some |
| 2:24.2 | of that transcript. But anyway, I want to get your take first on this. And of course, as you mentioned, |
