About this Guest -
Rolla Selbak is an award-winning filmmaker and Sundance alum whose bold storytelling reflects her unique perspective as a Palestinian American.
About this Episode -
I often meet people, including guests, who privately voice concern and disappointment about the ongoing genocide in Gaza, but then state that they are not in a position to comment, especially not publicly, because they do not know the full facts about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
On one hand, I can understand why people would say that, but I also think it is a cop-out. It is simply a way of avoiding any backlash, because as we know, in today’s world, criticising Israel and Zionism comes at a cost. Many of you know that in my final days as a surgeon, I was suspended from the Princess Grace Hospital on grounds of anti-Semitism after I was reported, apparently anonymously, for hosting Eva Bartlett on my show. I was subsequently cleared but only after 5 months suspension with no pay. The process IS the punishment.
This conversation will clarify, once and for all, the roots of the conflict, and who are the victims and who are the aggressors. My conversation with Rolla is probably one of the most important and emotionally charged ones I have had in a long time. My regular listeners will know I have had many epic conversations, but this one really stands out for me because it goes far beyond politics or religion. It is about identity, truth, trauma, and the ongoing information war shaping how the world sees Palestine and Palestinians.
Rolla’s personal journey as a child of Palestinian refugees from West Asia to the United States after the first Gulf War, brings a deeply human perspective to a subject that has been deliberately distorted for decades. We spoke about what it means to live between cultures, between realities, and between the narratives imposed by Western powers and the truth lived on the ground.
This is not simply a regional conflict. It is a story of colonialism, trauma, and resistance, and of how propaganda has been weaponised to conceal brutality behind slogans of democracy and divine destiny. The suffering of the Palestinian people is not a side issue. It is central to understanding how the modern world works and how easily morality can be inverted. Today it is the Palestinians. Tomorrow it is the rest of us.
We spoke about how Zionism is now facing an existential crisis, its moral and ideological foundations collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions. Not all Jews are Zionists, and many are courageously speaking out against the occupation. Yet their voices are often silenced or twisted by a media machine that thrives on binary thinking. Us versus them. You are either with us or with Hamas. Good versus evil. Chosen versus condemned.
Rolla and I also explored the conflation of Zionism and Judaism, and the hypocrisy of religious identity when faith is used to justify oppression. It was powerful to hear her speak so openly about this, and about how Christian Zionism in the West has become one of the most toxic forces sustaining the status quo, a kind of spiritual blindness dressed up as biblical duty.
The fact that Christian Zionists cannot see the damage done to the oldest Christian communities in West Asia, and the hollowing out of these nations of their rich Christian history and communities, is simply shocking.
Social media has become both weapon and battlefield. It is where propaganda spreads like wildfire, but also where truth breaks free. The algorithmic war for attention mirrors the physical war for territory. Every video, every word, every silence counts.
There is a reason why Netanyahu recently stated that the battlefield is on social media, and that the purchase of TikTok would go a long way in addressing some of the problems that the Zionist entity has had in pushing forward its narrative.
One glimmer of hope is that young people under 30, particularly Jews, are now turning their backs on Zionism and saying, “Not in our name.”
We talked about the psychological scars of generational trauma, and how oppression creates a cycle of despair that can only be broken by collective healing and unity. Despite everything, Rolla reminded me that the Palestinian people are beautiful and resilient, filled with grace, humour, and love, even in the midst of devastation.
The conversation also touched on the global implications, how capitalism, empire, and colonial control are all part of the same machinery. What is happening in Gaza is not isolated. It is connected to every struggle for freedom and truth around the world.
What I hope my regular listeners and viewers will have gathered by now is that the message I am trying to promote, not just in this episode but throughout my work, is one of solidarity and humanity. It asks us to look beyond propaganda, beyond religious, national, and tribal identity, and to recognise the sacredness of life itself.
The solution, as Rolla beautifully put it, is not domination but a shared land for all people. For those who think such an idea is preposterous or impossible, remember that for centuries it was just so, and it can be again.
We ended by reflecting on what it really means to be human in a world that rewards dehumanisation. For me, this conversation with Rolla was a reminder that truth is not found in slogans or governments, but in compassion, courage, and love.
The media machine would like to portray the Palestinians as uncouth and uncultured Muslims, barbaric and undeserving of compassion or love. I ask you to please listen to this podcast carefully. Do not be hateful, for they are human, like you and me, with all the desires that come with that, especially the thirst for freedom and happiness for their loved ones.
Much love, enjoy the podcast.
