In this episode of Arabs in Media, we connect with Palestinian activist Salah Said from Germany to shed light on the chaotic scenes unfolding on the ground. From media narratives to police brutality against protesters, to arms shipments and the rise of far-right extremism, we explore the political environment in Germany.

Even if you're not deeply engaged with the Palestine issue, it's crucial to understand the broader political implications in Germany, including censorship, government bans on protest, and the suppression of free expression.

Salah Said also delves into how media coverage in Germany, often not accessible to non-German speakers, shapes public opinion. What are the connections between the Palestinian struggle and global liberation movements, including those in Congo and Sudan, and that for climate justice? All discussed in this episode.

Through Salah's personal journey as well, we confront the emotional toll of witnessing daily atrocities while remaining committed to the fight for Palestine and global justice.
