In the first half of the show, we learn about members of the U.S. military who’ve resigned their posts over moral objections to the U.S. support of Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza and speak with Palestinian-American Mohammed Abouhashem, a former U.S. Air Force sergeant. He also rebuts claims that Israeli forces attempt to minimize civilian casualties and questions whether Israel was really taken by surprise by the October 7 Hamas attack.
Next, Eleanor speaks with Australian filmmaker Kym Staton about his documentary “Trust Fall,” just released in the U.S. this month. “Trust Fall” recounts the personal and professional life of Julian Assange, as well as the U.S. campaign against him. The film was completed before Assange gained his freedom, yet Kym says “Trust Fall” is still a vital chronicle of an effort to punish a journalist. He notes that some Australian media continue to spread falsehoods about Assange, despite the legal proceeding being over.
GUESTS:
Mohammed Abouhashem was a career sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, who resigned last October after 22 years in the USAF.
Kym Staton is an Australian filmmaker, musician and poet.
The post Conscience-driven Resignations from the U.S. Military / New Julian Assange Documentary appeared first on KPFA.
