The Racket | Matt Kennard & Ahmed Alnaouq | Israel's American Made Genocide in Gaza

In the second episode of The Racket, Journalist and Author Matt Kennard speaks to Palestinian Journalist Ahmed Alnaouq. They discuss Ahmed's experience grieving for the murder of 21 of his family members by a single Israeli bombing strike in Deir Al-Balah; the ongoing failure of global powers to halt the war in Palestine and hold war criminals accountable; and the role of mainstream media in perpetuating conspiracy theories and misreporting the conflict.

The Racket is a series of interviews based on the book The Racket: A Rogue Reporter vs The American Empire by Matt Kennard. The series examines the power of the US empire around the world and its attempts to control nations via war and economic strangulation.

Throughout the series Matt Kennard and guests will investigate the violent colonial beginnings of the most powerful nation in history, the tightening of its global stronghold post World War II, the crushing of dissent via CIA interference and its various ongoing wars around the world from a range of perspectives.
