University Encampments and the Freedom Flotilla: Fighting Back Against Historical Racist Genocide

University Encampments and the Freedom Flotilla: Fighting Back Against Historical Racist Genocide

Author: Alternate Current Radio May 17, 2024 Duration: 59:01
This week on the Global Research News Hour, as we commemorate NAKBA Day, we take a look at what motivates Israel’s over the top cruelty in their campaign against Hamas carried out for the most part on Palestinian Women and children and the response of university students and people around the world who are determined such actions are not made in their name. In our first half hour we speak to journalist and film maker Robert Inlakesh about the truth and lies about the protest encampments springing up everywhere, and about the mission of attacking the heavily populated Rafah at the end of its murderous campaign across the strip. In our second half hour, we speak with lawyer, activist and journalist Dimitri Lascaris about the Freedom Flotilla with aid for the desperate masses in Gaza. Finally, we have a chat with geopolitical analyst and commentator Mike Whitney about the behaviour of Israel toward the Palestinian people having a root in the racist imperialist drive of the West in the late nineteenth century.

Tune in to Global Research News Hour, a weekly program from the team at Alternate Current Radio that brings the work of the Centre for Research on Globalization directly to your ears. Based in Montreal, the CRG operates as an independent, non-profit research and media organization, and this audio extension of their mission digs into the stories and analyses that often exist outside mainstream headlines. Each episode functions as a deep-dive conversation, drawing from the Centre's extensive network of researchers, authors, and activists involved in publishing, humanitarian projects, and public education. You'll hear detailed discussions on the pressing societal and cultural issues shaping our world, from geopolitics and economics to environmental crises and social movements. The tone is substantive and inquisitive, prioritizing context and evidence over sound bites. This isn't just a summary of the news; it's a critical examination of the forces behind it, offering listeners a more nuanced understanding of global events. Produced by Alternate Current Radio, this podcast serves as an essential audio companion for anyone looking to move beyond superficial reporting and engage with the complex realities of our interconnected world.
