Over the past few months, the Zionist regime of Israel has been carrying out a cruel campaign of bombardment and genocide against Palestinians in the city of Gaza. Close to 30 000 people have been killed, half of whom are children. More than 2 million Palestinians have been displaced from their homes.

Israel claims that this is merely a response to the attacks by Hamas on October 7th 2023. However, we have to keep in mind that Israel has been engaged in settler colonialism and ethnic cleansing relentlessly for decades.

What’s interesting is, that some experts claim that despite killing thousands upon thousands of Palestinians, Israel is not exactly winning this battle. So, who’s winning? We speak to Muslim Imran, Asia Middle East Center for Research & Dialogue (AMEC).
