Noura Erakat joins Shamim Sarif and Hanan Kattan on Episode 77 of The Enlightenment Podcast.
A Palestinian-American human rights lawyer, Rutgers University professor, author of Justice for Some, and co-author of Confronting Zionism, Noura Erakat has become one of the most influential voices explaining Palestine, international law, and decolonisation.
In this conversation, Noura examines why international law has failed to stop Israel's assault on Gaza, the growing gap between legal rulings and enforcement, and how Palestine has become a test case for the future of global justice.
She discusses the ICC arrest warrants, the ICJ genocide case, Project Esther, attacks on free speech and academic freedom, and why the suppression of Palestinian solidarity movements is reshaping civil liberties across the West.
Noura also reflects on Palestinian futurism, decolonisation, accountability after genocide, and why she believes Palestine sits at the centre of a much larger struggle over democracy, power, and the future of the international order.
