"Craig Murray On Campaign & Assange, + 'Synagogue Protest' explained By Remo Ibrahim" and more on the Katie Helper Show, "Exposing Empire"
I highly recommend watching the really good discussions Katie Helper engaged in with several activists in the video linked below.
Craig Murray is the former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan, historian, advocate friend of Julian Assange and a human rights activist. Craig is currently running as a candidate for Parliament under George Galloway's Workers Party in Blackburn, Lancashire.
Jody McIntyre joins the discussion to talk about why he's running for MP in the Birmingham Yardley. Jody McIntyre has a remarkable life story. According to a Vox Political article published June 6th, Independent Candidates Are Standing Aside For Jody McIntyre In Birmingham Yardley.
Jody McIntyre “is the sole independent candidate running in the Birmingham-Yardley constituency, located in the city of Birmingham, England, against the Labour Party's Jess Phillips, who is a member of Labour Friends of Israel and is likely to become a minister in the new government, if she wins re-election Birmingham-Yardley. Jody has cerebral palsy and is a lifelong activist, focused on Palestine, disability-rights, and education. He converted to Islam as a young adult and has lived in Palestine multiple times, including being there on the day of the October 7th attacks. In 2010, he was the subject of national-news coverage when he was dragged out of his wheelchair by police multiple times while participating in mass protests against budget cuts and tuition hikes.”
Palestine Youth Movement organiser Remo Ibrahim then joins the conversation to reveal “what REALLY happened at the synagogue protest. Remo, “is committed to the struggle for Palestinian liberation, and to confronting Zionism and white supremacy wherever it appears.”
Jewish anti-zionist Rich Siegel “talks about why he condemned the sale of occupied land.”
Rich Siegel is a musician and activist. Raised in what he calls “the cult of atheistic Zionism posing as Judaism”, in his youth Rich was very involved as a supporter of Israel, notably as a teenage Zionist youth group president. He then lived in Israel in his 20’s working as a pianist in a luxury hotel. Rich’s change of heart began as a spiritual awakening, by which he came to see that Jewish tribal identity and the state of Israel were worshipped as idols. Then he became acquainted with Zionism’s crimes against humanity, which contradicted the Zionist narrative he grew up with. Organizing demonstrations against Zionist activity in the northern New Jersey suburbs where he lives, Rich’s activism hit a high note when a talk he gave in front of the Teaneck town council went viral. Recently Rich was fired from a teaching job at a local music school due to a pro-Palestine Facebook post. He is director of Deir Yassin Remembered, a pro-Palestine charity and activist organization. He is currently running for Congress in New Jersey, with the Ceasefire and Justice Party.
