Pakistan’s Protests for Gaza Are Reigniting Its Fight Against US-Backed Military Rule


Prof. Junaid Ahmad explains how the movement for Palestine has sparked a "new revolutionary fervor" in Pakistan's mass protests against its US-backed military regime.

Ahmad, a Professor of Law, Religion, and Global Politics, and the Director of the Center for the Study of Islam and Decolonization in Islamabad, discusses how outrage over the US-Israeli genocide in the Middle East has "fused" with the protests in Pakistan demanding the release of imprisoned leader and former prime minister Imran Khan.

As the government cracks down, "the legitimacy of the National Security State is crumbling right before our eyes, no matter how much Washington tries to save it.”
