Crackdown on Free Speech: How Pro-Palestinian Voices Are Being Criminalised: MEMO in conversation with Fahad Ansari
In this episode of Conversation with MEMO, we sit down with solicitor Fahad Ansari to unpack the intensifying crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism across Western democracies. Against the backdrop of Israel’s genocide on Gaza, the discussion dives deep into the erosion of free speech, the use of counter-terror laws to silence dissent, and the alarming shift from democratic to authoritarian tendencies in dealing with pro-Palestinian voices. Fahad, whose firm recently launched a legal challenge against the UK’s proscription of Hamas, shares insight into the chilling legal and political environment confronting activists today, raising urgent questions about the double standards embedded in the West’s commitment to freedom of expression. The conversation also explores the unprecedented attempt to label Palestine Action a […]

The ‘uncancelled venue’: Palestine Museum offers podium to Palestinian narrative
The Palestine Museum, which first opened as Palestine Museum US in Woodbridge, Connecticut, has expanded across the Atlantic with its first European branch opening last month in the Scottish capital Edinburgh. During the inaugural ceremony, Faisal Saleh, the founder and relentless visionary behind the museum, greeted guests with a quiet intensity that belied the storm of ideas swirling around him. Born to a Palestinian refugee family displaced from the village of Salama near Jaffa in 1948, Faisal’s journey from the occupied West Bank to US tech entrepreneur to ‘museum maker’ feels like a lifetime distilled into a singular mission: to carve out cultural space where Palestinians can own their narratives. Indeed, the Palestine Museum is no ordinary art museum. While […]

Islam Race and Rebellion in the Americas: Transatlantic Echoes of the West African Jihads
Slavery in the Americas represented one of the most horrific phenomena in human history, as millions of Africans were uprooted from their homelands and forcibly transported to the New World to labour under inhumane conditions. At the heart of this darkness emerged stories of resistance and resilience, most notably the role of West African Muslims, who brought with them not only their shackled bodies but also a rich religious and cultural heritage. Despite the oppression and indignities that they were subjected to, these Muslims contributed to igniting the spirit of rebellion and led resistance movements against the plantation slave system. They drew upon their Islamic values and jihadist traditions that served both as a source of inspiration and as an […]

‘Quiet Pogrom in West Bank’ | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani
Palestine This Week opens with a close look at Gaza, where talk of a ceasefire deal is gaining traction. Reports suggest that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will soon travel to Washington to finalise an agreement. But behind the diplomatic theatre lies a deeper concern: has anything really changed on the ground? As Israeli attacks continue, the episode asks what purpose this ceasefire would serve—and for whom. The discussion moves to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Since the end of May, more than 549 Palestinians have been killed while trying to collect aid, taking the total to more than 56,000. Alongside this, new research suggests that the true death toll could be many times higher than reported. In the […]
