In Episode 239 [23] of the CounterVortex podcast [24], Bill Weinberg provides an overview of the protest waves and popular uprisings going on across the planet—in Kenya [25], Uganda [26], Nigeria [27], Bangladesh [28], India [29], China [30], Serbia [31], Venezuela [32], and in Israel [33]. This as worldwide protests in solidarity with the Palestinians [34] of Gaza continue. Amid ongoing protests against Netanyahu [35] in Israel, there have also been protests against Hamas [36] in Gaza. Despite internal dangers [37] and contradictions [38] in all these upsurges, there is a sense that we could be approaching a revolutionary moment [39] such as that seen in 2011—the year of the Arab Spring [40] and Occupy Wall Street [41]. And with the planet on an accelerating trajectory toward world war [42], the linking of these upsurges through conscious solidarity and the infusion of anti-war content [43] to their demands is urgently mandated.
