Activist Radio Mar. 26

Activist Radio's March 26 episode delivers a powerful critique of U.S. foreign policy, corporate media complicity, and the ongoing crisis in Palestine, anchored by a compelling interview with Mikko Pellet, a former Israeli Defense Force soldier and director of the Palestine House of Freedom. The episode opens with a historical reflection on the 1966 Vietnam War protests, drawing parallels to today’s resistance movements, particularly around Palestine. It highlights the suppression of free speech on campuses, the landmark court victory for Columbia students challenging the Trump administration’s efforts to silence pro-Palestinian speech, and Germany’s decision to withdraw legal support from Israel in the ICJ genocide case. Pellet shares harrowing insights into the Israeli military’s conduct, the criminalization of Palestinian advocacy through the Holy Land Five case, and the systemic silencing of dissent—even among veterans. He emphasizes the growing grassroots momentum against U.S. support for Israel, citing shifting political rhetoric and the increasing visibility of apartheid as a central issue in public discourse. The episode closes with a call to action, urging listeners to educate themselves, support Palestinian rights, and resist the normalization of state violence.
