Unmasking the Israel Lobby Pro-Palestinian rapper Lowkey is interviewed TRT World's Paul Salvatori to expose the shocking reach of the Israel Lobby in UK politics. He reveals tactics used to silence critics, including attempts to cancel his music! Lowkey fights back! He delves into: ▪ Origins of Zionism & its impact: Unpacking the ideology fuelling the ongoing conflict. ▪ Violence & suffering: Exposing the human cost of political agendas. ▪ Social media & legal action: Can they be tools for change? Hip hop & activism collide! He explains the historical and political context of the situation, origins of Zionism and its inherent ideologies, drawing connections between the Zionist movement and its use of violence and politics to continue the ongoing suffering and subjugation of the Palestinian people. He also shares his insights on the role of social media in raising awareness and the potential for legal action to bring about change.
