In this episode we start out with a clip from Miloš Forman‘s Taking Off, then segue into further re broadcasts of Jahed and Rita Saftawi’s inspiring, horrific yet compelling live feeds from Gaza. We Talk with Icelandic MP and activist Birgitta Jónsdóttir of the Pirate Party and quietly bare witness to an intense and seemingly insoluable slaughter.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that 2014 Israeli offensive on Gaza, where around 600 children killed, was “necessary.” During a hearing held by the State Control Committee at the Israeli Knesset, he said: “We did not want a war in the summer of 2014 and we tried to prevent it.” He continued: “That war was necessary and that the conflict was a clear victory for Israel, seen by the fact that Hamas begged for it to end.”
