Israel’s genocide in Gaza grinds on, while Israeli officials now signal they are “fully ready” to strike Iran—raising the risk of a regional firestorm. But within the EU, dissent is being crushed. In an unprecedented case, the EU has sanctioned one of its own citizens for being a journalist. http://red.media founder Hüseyin Doğru was targeted on behalf of Germany—for exposing Germany’s complicity in the genocide in Palestine. No trial. No hearing. An extrajudicial punishment.

The EU claims he “systematically spread false information on politically controversial subjects with the intent of creating ethnic, political and religious discord amongst a predominantly German audience.” In reality, his reporting focused on social protests across Germany and Europe—something that now appears to go too far for the so-called democratic powers in Berlin and Brussels. The listing followed http://red.media’s exclusive coverage of Germany’s brutal crackdown on pro-Palestinian students—and it forced the outlet to shut down.

What does it mean when reporting on Gaza is reframed as extremism, and journalism itself becomes a sanctionable offense? Hüseyin Doğru joins Yanis Varoufakis to dissect Europe’s widening assault on free speech, Germany’s criminalisation of Palestine solidarity, and how ordinary citizens can push back—before they too are silenced. Hosted by Mehran Khalili. Tune in live, bring your questions, and share widely—while you still can.
