How Palestine Action Shook Britain: Co-Founder Huda Ammori Goes On the Record 24.06.2026 54Min.

In this exclusive conversation, Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori sits down for her first in-person interview in two years. Speaking to Matt Kennard of Palestine Deep Dive, Ammori reflects on the extraordinary journey of the direct action movement she launched in 2020, from its campaign against Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems to its proscription by the UK government in 2025.Ammori discusses the events leading up to the ban, the targeting of RAF Brize Norton, the government's use of terrorism legislation, and why she believes the attempt to suppress Palestine Action has instead generated unprecedented public support and drawn greater attention to Britain's role in the Israeli genocide in Gaza.Although the High Court ruled in February 2026 that the Palestine Action ban had breached the right to protest and had been incorrectly taken by ministers, the Court of Appeal earlier this month upheld the proscription which Ammori says she intends to appeal to the UK Supreme Court. As legal challenges continue and new groups emerge to carry forward similar tactics, Ammori argues that the movement's core message has reached further than ever before.Support us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.

‘The Most Evil Enemy of the Jewish Proletariat’: The Bundist Case Against Zionism 03.06.2026 1Std. 20Min.

As Zionism was taking shape in the late 19th century, parallel Jewish anti-Zionist movements were emerging as well.Palestine Deep Dive's Ahmed Al-Naouq and Hala Hanina pose the question: Was the creation of a Jewish ethno-nationalist state at the expense of Palestinians inevitable? And what other Jewish futures once existed before the creation of Israel?To answer these questions, they are joined by Palestinian cultural historian, educator and editor Hazem Jamjoum and Molly Crabapple, an artist, writer and author of 'Here Where We Live Is Our Country.’ Her book is a remarkable exploration of the Jewish Bund, a secular, socialist, anti-Zionist movement that once represented a completely different Jewish political future.Support us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.

'Voices Together' with Bint Mbareh 31.05.2026 16Min.

In this special performance-interview episode of Soundtrack of Resistance, we enter the sonic world of musician and sound researcher Bint Mbareh. Recorded live at the Palestine Deep Dive Studio, her exclusive performance flows directly into a conversation with composer Sami El-Enany. Together, their exploratory conversation touches on what shapes their art, the power of the voice, and an interrogation of what it means to resist as an artist.BINT Mbareh is a sound researcher with a focus on water in Palestine. Her interest in the physical parallel between the water wave and the sound wave leads her into questions of border dissolutions (between bodies, between states, between tenses), and into the possibility of being enveloped by the voice, by sounding communally similarly to being enveloped by a water body. She challenges Settler colonial epistemology by taking seriously Palestinian ways of knowing, from rain-summoning music to shrine pilgrimage as an instigator to political revolution.Sami El-Enany is an artist who works with sound, fraying the edges of modern classical, electronica and found sound. His work spans multichannel installation, composition, sound design, record production, radio art, filmmaking and image-sound collaboration. Through his practice, he seeks to trace the sonics of solidarity, exploring sound as resonance for union.Support us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.
