In Episode 70 of The Enlightenment Podcast, Shamim and Hanan are joined by Peter Oborne, one of Britain’s most respected political journalists and the author of Complicit: Britain’s Role in the Destruction of Gaza.

Peter is a veteran journalist who spent years at the heart of the British media establishment before taking the extraordinary step of resigning from the Daily Telegraph over what he described as the paper’s failure to report honestly on powerful interests. Since then, he has become one of the most prominent voices exposing media bias, political complicity, and the role of Western governments in enabling Israeli violence against Palestinians.

Today, Peter writes as an associate editor at Middle East Eye, and as a columnist for Byline Times and Declassified UK, where he continues to investigate the intersection of politics, media power, and foreign policy.

In this episode, we discuss Britain’s historical and political role in the Gaza catastrophe, the failure of Western media to report truthfully on Palestine, and why honest journalism has become one of the most powerful forms of resistance.
