The Marc Steiner Show The Real News Network

Seven months of brutal Israeli genocide in Gaza have obliterated the local healthcare system, as the IDF has repeatedly targeted and destroyed hospitals and clinics in its military operations. When healthcare infrastructure was still standing, Gaza's healthcare workers faced the challenge of treating grave injuries requiring specialist care. To get around this issue, surgeons around the world have remotely coached their colleagues in Gaza, using messaging services like Whatsapp to lend their expertise in the treatment of particularly severe injuries. Surgeons Osaid Alser and Simon Fitzgerald join The Marc Steiner Show to discuss their experience offering this remote support to their colleagues at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis—where shortly after this recording, mass graves containing hundreds of bodies of Palestinians executed by the IDF were found.

Six months into the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza, there is little use denying that what is taking place before our eyes is an intended land grab. Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich have called for Gaza to be "resettled" and for the Palestinian population to be expelled. And in the US, the likes of Ben Gvir and Smotrich have their allies and accomplices who hope to profit from the theft of Palestinian land. Across the US, real estate events advertising the sale of land parcels in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem have begun to appear. Activist, journalist, and filmmaker Eleanor Goldfield joins The Marc Steiner Show to discuss the recent protests against one such real estate event in Baltimore.

Since 2022, the politics of Pakistan have been rocked by a struggle for power centered around former prime minister Imran Khan. Khan, who was ousted from office by a parliamentary no-confidence motion in April 2022, has alleged that his removal from office was orchestrated at the behest of the US government. This January, Khan was sentenced to 10 years in prison for leaking government documents as part of his effort to prove US involvement in his ouster. Khan's saga has ignited mass protests across Pakistan over the past two years. Despite being imprisoned during national elections this February, Khan's political party, PTI, won more parliamentary seats than any other political party. Journalist and policy analyst Raza Rumi joins The Marc Steiner Show for an in-depth look at Pakistan's political crisis in the context of its long and turbulent struggle for democracy.

Raza Ahmad Rumi is a Pakistani writer and a public policy specialist. He is the director of the Park Center for Independent Media, Ithaca College, and founder of the digital media platform NayaDaur Media in collaboration with Pakistani diaspora in the United States.

With each day that passes without a ceasefire in Gaza or a cessation of US aid to Israel, dissent within the Democratic party grows. In Michigan, more than 13% of Democrats voted uncommitted in the recent primary as a protest vote against Biden's stance on Gaza—and this is just the beginning. Calls have been put forward to organize other uncommitted votes in primaries around the country. While these protest votes are unlikely to dislodge Biden from securing the nomination, it's the underlying discontent with the Biden administration, shared by millions of Americans, that poses the real threat to his reelection. John Nichols of The Nation joins The Marc Steiner Show to discuss the infighting within the Democratic Party and the prospects of Biden's reelection this year.

The death toll in Gaza is now inching closer and closer to 30,000, with no end in sight to Israel's bombing or US political, military, and financial support for the genocide unfolding. Amid the carnage and horror of the past 144 days, Gaza's medical workers have worked around the clock under unimaginable conditions to save as many lives as possible. Israel has answered their bravery with brute savagery, laying waste to every single one of Gaza's hospitals, routinely targeting emergency medical vehicles, and killing at least 627 healthcare workers. Dr. Thaer Ahmad, a Palestinian American ER physician, speaks with The Real News on what he witnessed at Al Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis during his recent medical mission to the Gaza Strip.

Greg Abbott, the Republican governor of Texas, has spearheaded a manufactured political crisis over the state of the US-Mexico border for years. Not content to send hundreds of non-consenting migrants to Democrat-run cities by the busload, Abbott's latest stunts have now brought him into confrontation with the federal government over the border. Jim Hightower and David Griscom return to The Marc Steiner Show to discuss the impact of Abbott's standoff on border communities and migrants.

Jim Hightower is a national radio commentator, writer, public speaker, and author of the book, "Swim Against the Current: Even a Dead Fish Can Go With the Flow". He publishes the monthly "Hightower Lowdown." David Griscom is a writer and Texan based in Austin and the cohost of the podcast Left Reckoning.
