Understanding Israel Palestine
This show is inspired by Citizens for Justice in the Middle East, a local group that has advocated for 20 years for a fair and even-handed U.S. foreign policy that recognizes the rights of both Palestinians and Israelis. Our program offers interviews with journalists, scholars, policy experts and activists to offer multiple perspectives, and to clarify the underlying issues that are often obscured by headline news.
For this week’s show, producer Jeremy Rothe-Kushel speaks with security journalist Richard Silverstein about his recent stories, “Iron Dome Vote Rammed Down Throats of House Democrats After Pressure from Israeli Foreign Minister” and “Israel’s “AI Kill” against Iran has no long-term strategic benefit, but profound moral and legal ramifications.”
Richard Silverstein, muckraking security journalist extraordinaire, writes at his Tikkun Olam Blog, among many other publications. Silverstein specializes in exposing secrets of the Israeli national security state. He campaigns against opacity and the negative impact of Israeli military censorship and brings home stories to the United States that inform us here and then are brought back in to Israel Palestine, aiding in understanding there.
