Downstream: Gaza Has Exposed the Hypocrisy of the West w/ Omar El Akkad

October 18, 2026

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

It's time to talk about China. I'm Richard Haynes, and I'm the host of Do Your Own Research, a show from Novara Media. In the first series, I tried to make a map of everything in the world that had ever mattered and ever would. And did I succeed? Yeah, why not? This time, I'm tightening my focus. The second series…
