Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week’s program, and dedicates the full hour to a discussion of Palestine.

Her first guest, Ramzy Baroud, describes the essential role of cultural hegemony in subduing a colonized people, why Israel has failed to culturally colonize the people of Gaza, and has therefore resorted to horrific violence. He also explains how reporting by Gazans has changed the global perception of what accurate journalism really is.

Next, Nikki Morse, recently returned from the West Bank, describes conditions there, notably the rising levels of harassment and attacks by Israeli settlers and soldiers, and how solidarity allies work to reinforce nonviolent resistance.
