  • There are No Innocents: Beita 1988 and the Logic of Collective Punishment

    There are No Innocents: Beita 1988 and the Logic of Collective Punishment
    Apr 2 2026
    This episode examines the 1988 Beita incident, a few months following the outbreak of the first Intifada, when an entire Palestinian community was punished for a crime they did not commit. Through eyewitness accounts and historical context, we trace how home demolitions, mass arrests, and forced exile became tools of Israel’s collective punishment and how similar patterns continue to shape the present today.

  • The Farthest Mosque and the Farthest Place to Reach: Israel’s Restrictions on Al-Aqsa

    The Farthest Mosque and the Farthest Place to Reach: Israel’s Restrictions on Al-Aqsa
    Mar 19 2026
    As Ramadan comes to an end, many Muslim Palestinians are bidding farewell to the holy month far from Al-Aqsa, in an atmosphere marked by grief and restriction, following Israel’s complete closure of the Al-Aqsa compound following the US/Israel attack on Iran. But access to Al-Aqsa, the basic right to worship, has never been easy for Palestinians. What does it take to reach one of Islam’s holiest sites in your own homeland? In this episode of This is Palestine, host Diana Buttu speaks with Jerusalem-based journalist Zena Tahhan to unpack Israel’s escalating restrictions on Al-Aqsa and the Old City. From permit systems and military checkpoints to full closures during Ramadan, this episode traces how access to Al-Aqsa has been systematically limited over decades. It also examines the political and ideological forces seeking to reshape control over the site, and what that means for Palestinians today.

  • The Voice of Hind Rajab - In Conversation with Director Kaouther Ben Hania

    The Voice of Hind Rajab - In Conversation with Director Kaouther Ben Hania
    Mar 12 2026
    Two years ago, the world heard the voice of five-year-old Hind Rajab during her last phone call with the Palestine Red Crescent Society. Trapped in a car surrounded by Israeli tanks, Hind spoke to the dispatcher as she waited for help, alone, and surrounded by the bodies of her uncle and cousins, before her voice was lost… “The Voice of Hind Rajab.” The Oscar-nominated docudrama recreates that devastating call between Hind and the PRCS control room. In this episode of This is Palestine, we speak with filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania about her film “The Voice of Hind Rajab.” Kaouther takes us through the moment she first heard Hind’s voice, the decision to turn that devastating call into a film, and the process of making the film and recreating the call. As the film brings Hind’s voice to the world, it also serves as a powerful call to demand justice and accountability for Israel’s brutal crimes that stole her life.
