My interview with Al Jazeera English and its flagship podcast, The Take, about my new book, The Palestine Laboratory. It’s a highly produced and interesting conversation about Palestine, disaster capitalism and the threat of endless occupation:

The never-ending gold rush in Afghanistan
My latest investigation is a joint piece for Declassified Australia and Declassified UK on the rush to exploit Afghan resources (mostly since 9/11): The Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in August last year has caused the country to implode.
