I speak with Jeremy Hammond, independent journalist and author of the book Obstacle to Peace: The US Role in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. We go over some of the history underlying the conflict, untangle some of the myths, and ask the question: When state actors on both sides thrive on continued violence, and are themselves obstacles to peace, is there any hope for peace, and what can ordinary people do to help bring it about?

Jeremy's website is here, and his book can be found here.

His debate with Alan Futerman is here.
