“Our governments are complicit in the genocide in Palestine. Media corporations disseminate propaganda for it. Social media companies suppress info about it. Israel lobbies persecute human rights defenders. Universities surrender. Time to disrupt. Disrupt Genocide everywhere.”
Those are the words of Craig Mokhiber, who resigned from the UN human rights office in October to protest the world body’s inaction in the face of the unfolding genocide in Gaza.
After a round-up of the news from Nora Barrows-Friedman, Craig will join us to talk about the latest developments in relation to Palestine at the International Court of Justice.
We will also be joined by Dr. Thaer Ahmad, a Palestinian American emergency room doctor who recently spent three weeks volunteering at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis.
Based in Chicago, Dr. Thaer traveled to Gaza as part of a team sent by MedGlobal, a charity that provides emergency response and health programs to build resilience among vulnerable communities around the world.
Since his return from Gaza, Nasser hospital has been put out of service by Israel’s brutal siege and attacks on the facility, its patients, staffand people sheltering there.
And why is the BBC relying on Israeli spies for its reporting on Palestine? Asa Winstanley will tell us about an apparent attempt by the British government-backed broadcaster to smear prominent Palestinians in the UK that has fallen flat.
As we do each week, we will talk about the latest military developments with Jon Elmer.
