As more than 100,000 Palestinians have been killed or seriously injured in Israel’s ongoing attack on Gaza, we present for this hour journalist and author Chris Hedges speaking on “The Death of Israel: How a Settler Colonial State Destroyed Itself.” Hedges argues that if the Gaza slaughter continues, supported by the United States, the UK and Europe, it signals a dangerous new world order. Plus Headlines.
He spoke January 18, 2024 at the The Islamic Society of Central New Jersey. He was introduced by Omayma Mansour and the Q&A was moderated by Saffet Catovic.
