    [Ilan Pappe] Gaza in Context

    Gaza’s 2 million plus Palestinians are jam-packed in a small narrow enclave bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, Egypt and Israel. Since 2007 it has been ruled by Hamas. Hamas is an Arabic acronym for the Islamic Resistance Movement. Israel immediately imposed a blockade. Since then, Gaza has routinely been called the world’s largest open-air prison. Its air, land and sea routes are controlled by Israel. On October 7th, Hamas attacked Israel resulting in over 1,100 Israelis dead and the taking of several hundred hostages. Israel, with one of the world’s most advanced militaries, responded. Today, Gaza is in ruins. Palestinians have been killed and wounded in the tens of thousands. It has become, the UN says, “a graveyard.” How did this catastrophic situation develop? How did Gaza become Gaza?

Alternative Radio with David Barsamian

Vital, direct & factual reportage from journalists & scholars~Social & human rights groups & workers. Balanced & thorough ~ reporting, analysis & informative detail revealing for listeners~that which is supressed & un-examined by more “mainstream” media & “news” outlets. Undeniably unbiased & fact - rich in content. Refreshing, inspiring & very freely offered for listeners to make inroads by their own actions in directly helpful ways
regarding their own personal urges to be of active service toward their highest ideals for peace, social & human rights balance, truth telling & clarity for compassionate
understanding. A educational broadcast providing an essential piece in the construct of a world which works for everyone, & by everyone’s enlightened
participating action.

Great Program, terrible Podcast policy

I appreciate the great show and speakers, and am glad they bothered to create a Podcast of it at all, but c’mon, one episode at a time (or you can telegraph, fax or use smoke signals to request/receive old episodes)?!

It would be much more useful to share the back catalog, or at least a half-dozen or more episodes at a time versus being so controlling with them. I get that it’s likely a revenue stream, but perhaps create a Patreon or subscription feed to get the full
Episodes or get extra content…just need to get the logistics figured out…
