Sheldon Richman, executive editor at the Libertarian Institute, comes on the show to talk about his recent article “Trump Turns to Gaza as Middle East Deal of the Century Collapses.” Richman explains the long history of Israelis trying to force Palestinians out of Palestine, which is not a new phenomenon. He goes so far as to say that this process is a genocide, as it is literally the destruction of a people and a nation. Luckily, it seems as though American Jews—young progressives in particular—are waking up to what the Israeli government is doing, and many no longer feel they can support Israel.
Discussed on the show:
- “Trump Turns to Gaza as Middle East Deal of the Century Collapses” (Libertarian Institute)
- “Hasbara is dead” (Mondoweiss)
- Killing Gaza
- The Palestine Papers
