On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Ahmed Alnaouq, co-founder of We Are Not Numbers. He discusses how Israel killed 21 members of his direct family as part of its genocidal war on Gaza along with countless extended family members, the UK’s role in arming the Israeli military and complicity in the genocide, the mass support for Palestine in the US, the UK, and the EU, even amid constant pro-Israel media propaganda, the fake freedom and democracy in the West, especially when it comes to foreign policy, the BBC’s extreme pro-Israel bias and whitewashing of crimes against Palestinians. He also touches on the debunked October 7 atrocity propaganda published all over Western media to manufacture consent for Israel’s genocidal onslaught, and why Western media is complicit in Israel’s war crimes and genocide. In the second half, he discusses the attack on Palestinian culture by Israel and the Western media to erase it, and what he and We Are Not Numbers are doing to counter the cultural genocide, Israel’s targeting of Gaza’s cultural heritage sites, as well as the killing of top Palestinian healthcare professionals and academics, how We Are Not Numbers allows Palestinians to write stories about themselves and their families to break through the Western media stereotypes about Palestinians, why he isn’t optimistic about the Fatah-Hamas reconciliation agreement brokered by China, and much more.
