Antony Loewenstein & Ali Abunimah: The Real Peace Process
July 21, 2010
Peace process, proximity talks, one state, two state...though these terms are often tossed around the mass media, they have been rendered virtually meaningless. Instead, we see footage of Benjamin Netanyahu and Barack Obama shaking hands, waxing eloquently on the need for mutual peace as the US simultaneously slips Israeli more tax dollars to further cement their occupation of Palestine.
William K. Black, Real Peace Process, and Top Secret America
July 20, 2010
Former regulator, savings & loan investigator, and current Braintruster at the Roosevelt Institute William K. Black says that if Elizabeth Warren isn't appointed to head the consumer protection agency passed as part of the financial reform bill, it will be a clear sign that the agency isn't going to protect consumers at all. While Warren has done the research in the field for 20 years, he notes, other candidates preferred by Treasury Secretary Geithner have fallen more into the Rubin/Summers camp of deregulators.
An Inside Look at Gaza
January 11, 2010
Last week on GRITtv, Ali Abunimah noted that it was harder to get into Gaza than to get into a maximum security prison. Journalists are no exception--most of them have been kept out for three years. So the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem handed video cameras to 18 young Gazans and asked them to document what's going on -- for sharing with Israelis and the rest of the world. Thanks so much to B'Tselem for sharing the videos with us.
Transgender Equality, El Salvador, and Gaza
January 11, 2010
Barack Obama made the first transgender political appointments that we know of recently--Amanda Simpson, appointed last week as senior technical adviser in the Bureau of Industry and Security in the Commerce Department, and Dylan Orr, special assistant to Assistant Secretary of Labor Kathleen Martinez in the Office of Disability Employment Policy at the Department of Labor--but even David Letterman couldn't resist making a crack at Simpson's expense.
Marching for Freedom for Gaza
January 8, 2010
Ali Abunimah, cofounder of Electronic Intifada, and Medea Benjamin, cofounder of Code Pink: Women for Peace, took part in the Gaza freedom march. They join us to discuss the march, and we also speak to Electronic Intifada contributor Rami Almeghari, who is living and working in the Gaza strip.
Media Narratives, Gaza and Uncle Bob
January 7, 2010
No matter what the news is, which country has tensions, who's making threats, the response from TV news seems to be the same: quote Dick Cheney. We saw plenty of that this week, along with pronouncements that Democrats are doomed in 2010, complaints about progressives who've criticized the health care bill, and of course Tiger Woods.
Why Palestine, Recycling Small Arms, and Terry Jones
February 17, 2009
Why Palestine? Alu Abunimah and others on the significance of Hampshire College's decision to divest. Dealing and Wheeling in Small Arms a new documentary from Sander Francken. And a commentary from Monty Python's Terry Jones.
Progressives and Obama, Living Without Healthcare, and Rightwing Spin
January 26, 2009
From closing Guantanamo to lifting the gag rule Bush era policies are coming to an end. But is it a new era of progressive government?

January 26, 2009
From closing Guantanamo to lifting the gag rule Bush era policies are coming to an end. But is it a new era of progressive government?
