Scott is joined by journalist and author Ramzy Baroud to discuss the deterioration of Israeli Politics and the war in Mali. Israel will hold its fifth election in four years after yet another failure to form a government. Baroud gives some background on Israel’s issues and explains why they show that the ideals of its founders have collapsed. Scott and Baroud also discuss the war in Mali, examining how a seemingly simple intervention by NATO into Libya brought about deadly unanticipated consequences.
Discussed on the show:
- Our Vision for Liberation by Ramzy Baroud
- “The Geopolitical War Over Mali: West Africa Is Up for Grabs” (Antiwar.com)
