Title: Pakistani Academic Muhammad Maaz Arif interviews for 2nd time: A notable voice on Gaza and Israel-Palestine conflict Harry Fear
Speakers: Harry Fear (Journalist, Filmmaker and Speaker), Muhammad Maaz Arif (Pakistani Academic)
Summary:
Harry Fear frames the Gaza genocide as the latest chapter in a long history of Palestinian dispossession, arguing that Israel has no real incentive for a ceasefire and that Netanyahu is prolonging the war for political survival, aided rather than restrained by the US and Trump’s so-called peace plan, which he sees as a surrender document designed to cement permanent occupation. He sees the Global Sumud Flotilla as strategically important for limiting Israeli violence, exposing illegality, and inspiring global solidarity, while emphasizing that international law bodies such as the ICJ and UN lack force in the absence of Western political will, with Europe and the UK remaining complicit despite mounting public pressure. Fear dismisses most versions of the two-state solution as hollow and colonial, insisting that any settlement will fail without recognition of Palestinian rights and self-determination, predicting continued resistance, deeper international delegitimization of Israel, rising grassroots action, and eventual accountability, albeit only after prolonged suffering.
