On this episode, I’m joined by Ajamu Baraka to examine his analysis of International Human Rights Day and how events in Gaza have exposed the gap between Western rhetoric and Western behavior. We explore how terms like “values,” “democracy,” and “human rights” are weaponized to justify certain actions abroad while masking violations carried out by U.S. allies. This conversation lifts the veil on the political uses of human rights language and what this moment reveals about global power and accountability.
