Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week’s show. Her first guest, Shir Hever, explains what he describes as Israelis “zombie economy”,

and its media establishment that isn’t telling Israelis the truth about the genocide being perpetrated in nearby Gaza.

Then Margaret Flowers returns to the program to discuss the astonishing death toll exacted by US/EU economic warfare

against nations they deem hostile, from Venezuela to Iran.

A recent study published in the Lancet medical journal estimated that these unilateral “sanctions” have claimed more than

500,000 lives worldwide each year, from malnutrition, increased infant mortality, unobtainable medical care, and other causes.
