Summary
Reports describing the violence during the recent assault by Hamas fighters on Israel have been nothing short of shocking. Also shocking, however, has been the treatment of Palestinians for more than half a century by Israeli occupiers.
Guest host Craig Jardula and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to professor and author Norman Finkelstein about the failure of Palestinian efforts at nonviolent protest and the nearly non-existent options available to Gazans under blockade.
Plus a segment on the Israeli government's plans to deprive Gaza's 1 million children of basic essentials like food, water and medicine.
Also featuring Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden, Volodymyr Zelensky and Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as Andrew Cuomo and David Axelrod!
