Israeli-American activist Miko Peled explains what Israel is doing and why they're doing it. Then I'm joined by Mohammed Hisam, a Palestinian-American community organizer and attorney based out of Houston, TX. 

Miko Peled is an author, writer, speaker, and human rights activist living in the United States. He is the author of "The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine" and "Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five." His father was a high ranking Israeli general, his maternal grandfather was a signatory to Israeli independence, his niece was tragically killed in a suicide bombing and he's a staunch advocate for a one state solution. 

He is considered by many to be one of the clearest voices calling for justice in Palestine, support of the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) and the creation of a single democracy with equal rights in all of historic Palestine. Educated in Jerusalem, Japan and the United States, Peled is also an accomplished professional martial artist. For 23 years, Peled ran a martial arts school that was dedicated to teaching leadership skills and non-violent conflict resolution through martial arts. 

Miko is also a contributor to several online publications (Mint Press, The Electronic Intifada, Democracy Now, Mondoweiss), Mikopeled.com, and produces The Miko Peled Podcast, all of which he dedicated to advocating for the creation of one democratic state with equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians. He travels regularly to Palestine where he speaks and works with the popular resistance, the BDS movement, and other justice groups. As a result, he has been arrested several times by the Israeli authorities for his activism.

Mohammed Hisam is an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement and currently serves as Director of Advocacy and Education for the Palestinian American Cultural Center - Houston. As an community organizer, Hisam engages in advocacy on behalf of the Palestinian community and for the Palestinian cause through organizing demonstrations and educational events and overseeing two critical grants that support Palestinian students and student organizing on Texas campuses.

HIGH TIME

High time
I was feeling fine
Till They threw me in a ministry cell
High time
Pay me no mind
I don't think i'm a taking it well

End of Days
World gone mad
But we're not alone in this fight
I try to pray
But not today
High as a kite, i'm gonna take my flight

Make it through
Be reborn
The future never looked so bright
Old brown shoe
hullaballoo
it's gonna be a helluva night

But I Don't know how it will end
But I Know it sure is gonna be rough
The fix is in… take it on the chin
what's the matter boy, ain't you tough?

I'm on my way
To see the man
Who's responsible for all this
we're gonna look him in the face
Me and my ventriloquist… 

You came from the depths below
We thought we knew who was to blame
But you tricked so many mortal souls
You play so well but you can't win the game.

$106 Billion for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan: How War Spending Subsidizes Capitalism

This week on the Global Research News Hour, we continue to investigate the situation in Israel-Gaza and with an emphasis on the reaction to the escalation of the situation in the 75 year history of the divide. In our first half hour, Pan-African News Wire editor Aboyomi Azikiwe shares his thoughts and analysis of why much of the world is resisting the Israeli response to the Hamas Oct 7 attack to levels rivalling the Iraq War resistance 20 years ago.  Then in our second half hour, Chris Cook of radio station CFUV’s Gorilla Radio bring us a conversation from earlier this week with physician Tarek Loubani about the silencing of his colleague Ben Thomson and other humanitarian dissenters in the current age of suppression.
