The Globalization of Palestine Action with Max Geller

Jewish organizer and activist Max Geller joins me to talk about the birth of new Palestine Action chapters around the world in response to the intensified genocide that has been raging for 4 straight months.

As discussed in last year's episode featuring Jodie Jones, Palestine Action is a UK-based network of activists that has permanently shut down 2 arms factories and caused millions in damages to Israel’s arms dealers. The main target of this network is Elbit Systems, which Max describes as the “most evil company in the entire world." 

Calls to Action:
Follow Palestine action on Twitter and Instagram (UK, US, France, Italy, Scotland)
Take a Palestine Action direct action training
Help provide arrestee, court, and prison support
Donate to their Legal Defense Fund

Cocktail Pairing: The Direct Actionist

45ml  Rye Whiskey
22ml  Campari
15ml   Cynar or bitter amaro
8ml    Peaty Scotch (like Laphraig)

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and stir with plenty of cubed ice until drink is properly diluted and chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. 

Cut an orange peel and flame the oils over the drink: Express the oils by squeezing the peel in half with one hand while using the other to hold a lighter or match. Release the orange oils into the flame over the drink so the flaming oils land on top of the drink. Discard orange peel and garnish with a fresh Bay Laurel leaf. 

Note: use any good Peaty Scotch available such as Laphraig, Ardbeg, Bruichladdich, Caol Ila, or Lagavulin.
