Understanding Israel Palestine
Understanding Israel/Palestine advocates for a fair and even-handed U.S. foreign policy that recognizes the rights of both Palestinians and Israelis. The program offers multiple perspectives through interviews with journalists, scholars, policy experts and activists to clarify the underlying issues that are often obscured by mainstream media.
Ambassador Chas Freeman, Jr., discusses the proliferating wars in the Middle East, Zionist aims in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Iran, U.S. ineffectuality, and the catastrophic collapse of U.S. influence in the region. Freeman served in the U.S. Foreign Service for 30 years and was President Nixon’s principal interpreter during Nixon’s ground-breaking visit to China in 1972 and the U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the First Gulf War. He is the author of three books on foreign policy and two books on diplomacy, which he observes U.S. diplomats today neither understand or practice.
