Speech + Mixtape. A combination of my recent thoughts and some music.

Speechtape #1 (23.6.23)

The IDF launched a wide-ranging military operation early this morning, targeting the terrorist infrastructure in the PA-controlled town of Jenin. Hundreds of troops in multiple commando units and other branches, backed by forces from the air, are currently operating in the Jenin hornets nest of terror. Let's pray for the well-being of the troops and other security forces, as they try to restore peace and quiet to Northern Samaria. This report, and all the other latest news from Israel on this week's Israel Uncensored, with Josh Hasten.

Israel Uncensored: Israel Launches Jenin Anti-Terror Military Operation

Malkah and Yishai Fleisher discuss the dichotomy of the IDF fighting terror while post-Zionist protestors block one of the Jewish State's main roads. Dr. Mordechai Kedar on the terrorist sociology in Jenin. Rabbi Shimshon Nadel on the Four Fasts in light of the rebirth of Israel. Ben Bresky attends music festival in Biblical town of Tekoa. And finally, is being a zealot a good or bad thing?

Jenin and Journalism, where facts and context evaporate:
  
On July 3rd, 2023, the Israel Defence Force (IDF) launched what it described as a ‘contained and precise operation’ to foil very active terrorist activity in the Jenin area, which consisted of surprise attacks on terrorist infrastructure in what the world calls the ‘West Bank’ city of Jenin. This is an area that has been dubbed the Arab Palestinian “terror capital.” 

But what is the truth and context behind what we are witnessing in Jenin? But why now, and why has Israel appeared to go into this with more force than usual?  Find out in this episode of The Eagle's Eye Podcast.

Episode 52 The Eagle's Eye Podcast - Jenin & Journalism

Es geht heute um „Heim und Garten“ – nein, das ist kein Youtube-Channel übers Gärtnern, sondern eine Militäroperation im Flüchtlingslager Jenin. Nicht nur der Name ist absurd, sondern auch, was in den letzten Tagen passiert ist. Wir versuchen die letzten Geschehnisse einzuordnen und enden natürlich wie immer mit einer positiven Note: Katha hat Fernweh und Pias Herz kostet 10 Shekel.

Israeli's latest assault on Jenin refugee camp, the largest since its 2002 invasion, killed at least 12 Palestinians and injured approximately hundreds of others. Palestinian political analyst Mouin Rabbani spoke about the attack in conversation with Shahram Aghamir. 

In the second part of this episode, Berkeley artist Mokhtar Paki spoke to Malihe Razazan about his mural "Sinbad Voyage," which highlights the resilience of immigrants.

Karl Marx was wrong when he wrote History repeats itself, first as tragedy then as farce.  The second time around it is still tragic as the events of midsummer 2023 show. In this podcast with BBC great Robin Lustig we look at how from riots in Paris to Israeli incursions into the West Bank city of Jenin the conflicts we have covered 15/20/30 years ago keep blowing up again.  Give us 50:56 to argue it out.

History Repeats: First Time as Tragedy, Second Time It's Still Tragic

On today's Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses how Israel's security forces thwarted a major Arab terrorist attack on Sunday, as special forces killed three members of a Jenin-area cell, on their way to murder Jews. Unfortunately a day earlier, 42-year-old Chen Amir HY"D, a Tel Aviv security guard, was murdered by a terrorist in the line of duty. Amir died a hero, confronting the suspicious individual, sacrificing his own life, while saving countless others.

I got an email from a friend in Jenin, who runs a cultural center there.  One of the young men active at the center has just been murdered by the IOF.

Message From Jenin

Trump's mounting threats to defy the growing court decisions against his dictatorial program recall Andrew Jackson's famous words of defiance following the Supreme Court's 1832 decision in Worcester v Georgia, which upheld the sovereign rights of the Cherokee Nation. Jackson's subsequent forced relocation of the Cherokee in the Trail of Tears is now echoed in Trump's hubristic and criminal plan to clear Gaza of Palestinians. On the 222nd anniversary of Marbury v Madison, in which it was established that the Supreme Court has the last word on what is and isn't constitutional, Bill Weinberg explores the historical parallel.
