Dr Butch Ware Talks Black and Arab Unity Against Blue MAGA and Zionism
In this episode of Habibi House, Dr. Butch Ware speaks on Gaza, ICE, Zionism and the betrayal of progressive values in California politics. From Gavin Newsom’s veto of AB15 to the bipartisan backing of genocide in Palestine, Dr Ware dismantles the liberal facade of California and calls for revolutionary strategy, not performative politics.
Drawing from his work as a historian of Black radical traditions and spiritual resistance, Dr Butch Ware insists that the future of California depends on Black and Arab unity. Not symbolic unity. Strategic unity. The kind that breaks narratives, organizes labor, and reclaims power.
