Summary

On March 30, Israeli soldiers killed 17 civilians and injured more than 1,400 others with live ammunition, when 30,000 Palestinians gathered in peaceful protest for the "Great March of Return" on the Gaza border. Israel has imposed a deadly blockade on Gaza's two million inhabitants for over a decade. Robbie Martin and Abby Martin interview journalists Max Blumenthal and Dan Cohen about the latest Israeli massacre, Western complicity in war crimes, and their film "Killing Gaza", a devastating look at the aftermath of the 51 day war, where Israel killed over 500 children, and wiped out generations of families.
