This is the Unregistered Podcast, and I'm Thaddeus Russell.

This is a show about ideas, people, and behaviors that are considered inappropriate, out of bounds, or beyond the pale.

The things you're not supposed to talk about if you're a schoolteacher, a college professor, a businessman, a politician,

a parent, a neighbor, or even a podcast host. These are the things you're not supposed to say

or even think if you're a good liberal, a good conservative, or a good citizen. Each week,

I'll interview a person who has something bad to say. They might be a

journalist or a professor. They might be a porn star or a drug dealer. They might just be an

ordinary person with an ordinary job who doesn't care about the rules of polite society.

I'm not interested in breaking the rules just to be a troublemaker.

I'm interested in people who break the rules of conventional thought

and to expand the scope of what is possible to say in our society.

I'm interested in people who make me think.

My guest this week spent many months living in Gaza in 2014 during Israel's last war on the strip, in which more than 2,000 people were killed.

Because of this, he knows many people who still live in Gaza.

He knows many people who have died in Gaza. He knows many people who have died in Gaza. He knows many more

who have lost an arm or a leg or an eye. He also had a very close encounter with Hamas itself.

I think you will learn a lot from listening to him. This is my interview with Dan Cohen.

I am joined from Washington, D.C. by Dan Cohen, who is a journalist and the co-producer, maker of the film Killing Gaza, which

is one of the most extraordinary pieces of journalism ever seen. It is what I wish

journalists would do these days.

So few, almost none do it and certainly not in Gaza.

You and Max Blumenthal were on the ground in Gaza for seven months and maybe more total.
