Alors que l’envoyé américain au Liban salue la réponse de Beyrouth comme « incroyablement satisfaisante » sur le désarmement du Hezbollah, l’armée libanaise commence à se déployer dans le sud. Mais ces unités sont-elles réellement indépendantes du Hezbollah ?

Willy Brandt war als erster Bundeskanzler 1973 auf Staatsbesuch in Israel. Zwei Jahre später, am 8.7.1975, folgt Jitzchak Rabins Gegenbesuch. Von Almut Finck.

Robert David Steele (July 16, 1952 – August 29, 2021) was an American case officer for the Central Intelligence Agency,[ co-founder of the United States Marine Corps Intelligence Activityand conspiracy theorist.Conspiracy theoriesSteele was a regular guest on Alex Jones's radio show. In an interview by Jones in June 2017, Steele claimed NASA holds a colony on Mars populated by human slaves who were kidnapped as children and sent to the planet.NASA spokesperson, feeling the need to respond about numerous false rumors, said "There are no humans on Mars" and that “there's only one stupid rumor on the Internet? Now that's news."On his Public Intelligence Blog, Steele cited The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a fabricated antisemitic document, at least 42 times to expound on the "Zionist conspiracy". He stated in a September 2019 blog entry that Jews in financial sectors were "a secret society" that "believes [itself] to be exempt from all laws and customs", leading to accusations of antisemitism, and called for the incarceration of Jews who were insufficiently loyal to the republic.He described the Holocaust as being a "contrived myth" and Zionism as “a cancer on humanity” urging the eradication of "every Zionist who refuses to be loyal to their country of citizenship and the rule of law.”In September 2020, he implied "two Zionists", one of whom was Yitzhak Rabin, were in Dallas and somehow involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Additionally, he claimed Rabin and Dick Cheney agreed on a proposal for the September 11 attacks: "The Zionists installed the controlled demolitions that assisted what I believe was clearly a directed energy controlled frequency event in the twin towers, controlled demolitions alone for WTC seven, and a massive coverup was executed….9/11 [legal] cases did not go to trial; controlled Zionist judges and prosecutors ensured that all cases were generously settled".Steele was the organizer of the Arise USA tour, a three-month tour of all 50 American states.[1] The Daily Beast reported the tour began in May 2021. Steele promoted Donald Trump's claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election and told his audiences of "the treason and high crimes represented by the fake pandemic, unconstitutional lockdown, mask idiocy, and the deaths and sterilization and mutations associated with the untested toxic 'vaccines'".[14] The tour featured speakers such as Oath Keeper Richard Mack and conspiracy theory promoter Sacha Stone. In July 2021, he held a demonstration in Belfast, Maine to claim that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and called COVID-19 a hoax.[15][16] He claimed to be the first person to call COVID-19 a hoax.[5] The tour concluded in August 2021, following allegations that $300,000 had been stolen from the tour's budget.[17] He also promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory.[1]Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

History is something big that happens in the past that you look back on and wonder about… ofttimes we only know about it from the pages of a book, old video footage, relics in a museum, or something like that, but there are also living resources for history in the memories of older people and indeed in your OWN head. This Quackcast was inspired by me thinking about musicians like Prince, Queen, and David Bowie- many younger people now are looking back on them as if they were musical geniuses, like Beethoven and Mozart, but I can clearly recall when they were just pop-musicians, you were interested to hear their latest stuff on the radio of their latest video but it wasn't ground shaking. They were not considered super dooper massive cultural icons then, in fact they had less regard and hero worship than most modern young celebs do now! Your average popular “influencer” probably gets more regard now than David Bowie did back in the 70s and 80s. As Generation Xers Banes, Tantz, and I were part of a world in the later days old the cold war, when it was at its peak, before the end. This flavoured all of culture in all sorts of direct and indirect ways and if you don't understand that then you can't properly understand those cultural products that came out of that time. All the massive prosperity of the west and ultra-capitalism from the 1950s onwards with the USA solidly driving all western culture was because after WW2 the world was split in 2 and everyone had to unite around the USA because they were the strongest power militarily and economically in opposition to the “communist block”, NATO vs the Warsaw Pact. It's the reason American media from Hollywood stayed as so huge, the reason American influence in music was so primary, and the same with style, design, and technology. But there are plenty of direct influences too, a character like James Bond makes no sense outside of that split world, in fact nor does any spy fiction that came from then. The Klingons in Star Trek were Russians. The action genre in movies solidly had to do with the cold war- Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger's career's were formed around Cold War influences… What big aspects of history where you “there” for? The fall of the Berlin Wall, Perestroika, 9/11, The assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, the start of myspace, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the beginnings of social media and influencer culture, the rise of reality TV, the fall of bookshops…? This week Gunwallace was inspired to craft a musical theme to Capricious Infection - A mystical, magical, stargazing sound here, touches of Journey of the Sorcerer by The Eagles. You can imagine you're in a field in darkness, wandering over cold, dew wet grass and staring up at the vast, glittering majesty of the milky way galaxy above.

When John Edmonds began killing interdimensional aliens with a samurai sword at his Arizona ranch, he sparked one of the most controversial battles in UFO history — but the vanishing bodies and missing evidence raise disturbing questions about what really happened in the desert.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: In the remote desert of Rainbow Valley, Arizona, Stardust Ranch hides secrets that defy belief — glowing lights in the sky, strange beings lurking in the shadows, and unexplained phenomena that push the boundaries of reality. Are John and Joyce Edmonds the unwitting guardians of a portal to another dimension? Is their story a descent into madness? Or are we all fascinated by what is just an elaborate hoax? (Interdimensional Intruders: The Mystery of Stardust Ranch) *** In the abandoned halls of Gartloch Hospital, a century-old psychiatric facility on the outskirts of Glasgow, two nurses recount chilling encounters with spectral figures from the past. From mysterious footsteps echoing in empty corridors to a ghostly matron disappearing through locked doors, their stories paint a picture of a hospital where the line between the living and the dead blurs. Do the spirits of Gartloch's past still roam its wards? (The Ghosts of Garloch) *** In 1954, a wave of panic swept through Washington state as thousands of motorists reported mysterious damage to their car windshields. What began as a local curiosity in Bellingham soon exploded into a statewide phenomenon, sparking wild theories ranging from cosmic rays to hatching sand fleas. But was this truly an epidemic of vandalism and unexplained phenomena, or a textbook case of mass delusion fueled by Cold War anxieties? (The Seattle Windshield Pitting Epidemic) *** In the depths of Switzerland's Lake Brienz, a drowned man's body was found astonishingly intact — despite having been dead for over 300 years. Preserved by the rare and eerie process of saponification, his remains were encased in a waxy substance formed from body fat under the right conditions. This eerie phenomenon transforms bodies into waxy time capsules, defying the natural process of decay. We'll look at the creepy but somehow natural reality of corpse wax. (Corpse Wax) *** For centuries, scholars and enthusiasts have speculated about hidden messages encoded within ancient texts, with recent claims suggesting that the Bible itself conceals secret prophecies waiting to be uncovered. From predicting historical events like World War II and the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin to foretelling the Oklahoma City bombing, proponents of the "Bible Code" believe these codes reveal divine insights. Are these hidden messages genuine revelations, or merely the result of overactive imaginations and random patterns?

Tussen Israël en Iran woedt een heftige strijd van luchtmacht, raketten, cyberoorlog en speciale eenheden. Maar deze oorlog kon niemand verrassen en was eigenlijk al jaren gaande.Hoe begrijpen we wat hier gebeurt; wat in Iran en de dictatuur van de ayatollahs gaande is en in Israël en de complexe politieke verhoudingen en cultuur daar? Jaap Jansen PG Kroeger kijken naar de gruwelijke en vaak eeuwenoude context van dit conflict.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo.

Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nl en wij zoeken contact.Op sommige podcast-apps kun je niet alles lezen. De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Al vele jaren is onderhuids en af en toe opflakkerend sprake van deze oorlog. Israël zette zijn uiterst doeltreffende hightech en geheime diensten in, Iran gebruikte terreurorganisaties en andere verlengde armen om Israël continu te bedreigen. Met cyberaanvallen op ondergrondse nucleaire installaties en aanslagen op kerngeleerden en militaire commandanten maakte Israël duidelijk dat in Iran niemand zich veilig kon voelen voor zijn macht.De aanval van Hamas op 7 oktober 2023 was onderdeel van deze oorlog waarin het regime in Teheran Israël op een reeks fronten tegelijk wilde destabiliseren. Omdat Benjamin Netanyahu besefte dat hij niet meer kon rekenen op de volledige steun van de Verenigde Staten - zeker niet nadat Donald Trump het kernwapen-akkoord met Teheran eenzijdig ongedaan maakte – ging hij uiteindelijk zijn eigen gang.Zo werden de handlangers van ayatollah Ali Khamenei het eerste doelwit. Hezbollah, Houthi's in Yemen, milities in Irak en Hamas in Gaza zijn met grof geweld aangepakt. Het regime in Teheran werd bovendien verder geïsoleerd en ingesnoerd door samenwerking van Trump met Arabische heersers, die hem aan zich bonden door zijn zucht naar 'deals'.De cruciale wijziging in de machtsverhoudingen kwam met de instorting van de belangrijkste bondgenoot van Iran en Rusland, het gruwelijke bewind van Bashar al-Assad in Syrië. Voor zowel het Kremlin als de ayatollahs was dit een funeste nederlaag. Teheran stond geheel alleen. Bovendien blijkt nu dat de Russische militaire technologie tegenover die van Israël onmachtig is. Duidelijk is dat vele lessen uit Oekraïne hier worden toegepast.Netanyahu wil Iran militair voor decennia verzwakken en de nucleaire capaciteit maximaal reduceren. Voor dat laatste zou Amerika weleens nodig moeten zijn. Maar voor Trump is regimewisseling geen doel op zich. De VS hebben in Irak hun lesje geleerd.Onder de buurstaten ziet vooral Turkije zijn positie nog machtiger worden en verliest Rusland na Syrië nóg een cruciale bondgenoot.Veel pleit er dan ook voor om beter te leren begrijpen hoe landen als Iran en Syrië zich historisch, cultureel en politiek van binnenuit hebben ontwikkeld. Zeker zo complex is trouwens ook Israël. Al in de memoires van Obama en Merkel was duidelijk: zij beseften dat het een misverstand was om Netanyahu en de Israëlische politieke cultuur als ‘westers' te beschouwen.Het land van Netanyahu is al lang niet meer de bijna Westeuropese sociaaldemocratie van Golda Meïr, Yitzhak Rabin en Shimon Peres. De demografische en cultureel-etnische diversiteit zijn enorm, eigenlijk zoals overal elders in het Midden-Oosten. Regeringen zijn permanent wisselende samenraapsels van kleine groeperingen en sekten rond een sterke man als vast ankerpunt. Ook voor de gunsten uit de overheidskassen. Netanyahu regeert in allianties waarin loyaliteit en wederzijds verraad elkaar ongeremd afwisselen. Israël lijkt nu veel meer op zijn buren dan op een EU-lidstaat.Misschien vertelt dit ook wel waarom Geert Wilders dit zo bewondert. Netanyahu is immers een sterke, bijna autocratische 'baas' met om zich heen nooit écht loyale vazallen die voor hun positie, status en levensonderhoud van hem afhankelijk zijn. Dat deze ook nog de alles beheersende centrale machtsfiguur van de natie is, maakt hem nog meer een voorbeeld.***Verder luisteren377 - Golda Meïr, Israël, triomf en tragiek315 - Vrouw, leven, vrijheid: oorzaken en achtergronden van het straatprotest in Iran.

Israel comete crimes de guerra em Gaza e a mudança de discurso do premiê Benjamin Netanyahu, nos últimos dias, deixa claro que o objetivo de seu governo é a limpeza étnica da região.Vocês não têm ideia de como me dói dizer isso. Desde que me entendo por gente, sou sionista. Ao longo da vida, mudei de opinião a respeito de muitas questões. Este é um dos raros casos em que me mantive constante. Ser sionista é ser favorável a um Estado, no Levante Meridional, para o povo judeu. Um Estado na sua terra. Mas o meu é o sionismo de Theodor Herzl, o sionismo de David Ben Gurion. O meu é o sionismo de Yitzhak Rabin, que compreendeu, como todo israelense inteligente, que as mesmas razões que sustentam o direito de judeus terem seu país sustenta, igualmente, o direito de palestinos terem o seu.O governo Netanyahu é a negação de todos esses valores.Neste momento, estão nas ilhas de edição do Meio três episódios especiais da série Ponto de Partida que vão para nosso streaming e tratarão de Israel e da Palestina. Não pretendia voltar a este assunto antes do lançamento porque, afinal, em dez, doze minutos de um vídeo aqui, não cabe tudo o que gravamos num total de uma hora e meia. Só que os acontecimentos não esperam.O governo Netanyahu está propositalmente deixando sem comida e sem remédios milhões de pessoas na Faixa de Gaza. Não existe qualquer razão estratégica, do ponto de vista militar ou político, para justificar algo assim. É um nível absurdo de crueldade, de desumanidade.No Knesset, o parlamento de Israel, na semana passada, Netanyahu afirmou que por conta de sua política de “destruir mais e mais moradias”, as palavras são do premiê, “o resultado inevitável será o desejo pelos moradores de Gaza de deixarem a região”. Neste mesmo discurso, ele afirmou que só permitirá que ajuda humanitária chegue a quem não voltar para casa.Se o desejo de Benjamin Netanyahu é tornar a vida em Gaza tão insuportável que a população deseje deixar suas casas para nunca mais voltar, o nome disso é limpeza étnica. É a definição de dicionário. É limpar, de uma região, um povo. A política de tornar um lugar impossível para a vida de quem vive lá. O primeiro-ministro de Israel está declarando isso. Ministros de seu gabinete já diziam desde o ano passado, mas Netanyahu, não. Agora ele começou a dizer. É política de Estado.Que ninguém se engane. Esta política não só é bárbara e anti-Palestina. Ela é, igualmente, anti-Israel. Esta política não vai eliminar o Hamas. Ela vai alimentar o ódio palestino a um ponto como jamais houve na história. Ela vai acirrar o conflito. A longo prazo, ela ameaça a existência do Estado de Israel. E, não, ela não vai expulsar os palestinos. Primeiro porque o povo palestino já demonstrou, ao longo das décadas, uma resiliência sem igual. Eles querem sua terra e vão ficar. Mas, em segundo lugar, é preciso considerar os vizinhos imediatos. O Egito já deixou claro que não quer os palestinos no seu país. A Jordânia, idem. O Líbano, a Síria, mesma coisa. Não há outro lugar para o povo palestino que não a sua terra. Gaza e Cisjordânia.Além disso, o que a política de Netanyahu faz é estender o sofrimento dos 58 reféns que ainda vivem no cativeiro, em Gaza. Estão sendo torturados, passam fome e estão nas mãos de pessoas que os odeiam. Nunca na história, desde 1948, houve um único governo israelense que não pusesse como absoluta prioridade a segurança de cada judeu no mundo. Nunca. Israel nasceu para que o resultado de dois mil anos de racismo, perseguição e violência que os judeus sofreram na Europa nunca mais ocorresse.Nunca mais.Esta política mudou com Netanyahu. A guerra em Gaza não representa qualquer estratégia de interesse do Estado de Israel. Ela representa os interesses da extrema-direita israelense e os interesses pessoais do primeiro-ministro. Netanyahu é um político corrupto que compreende que, no momento em que deixar o governo, será imediatamente processado e corre o risco de passar seus últimos dias na cadeia. Manter-se em guerra garante o apoio da extrema-direita e, com o apoio da extrema-direita, seu governo não termina antes da próxima eleição. Enquanto ele controlar metade mais um do Knesset, o governo fica de pé. Ou seja, eleição só em 27 de outubro do ano que vem.É um pesadelo para os palestinos. É um pesadelo para as famílias dos reféns. É um pesadelo para os democratas israelenses.A gente não tem como prever o futuro, mas temos como compreender o que aconteceu para chegarmos até aqui. Este não é um vídeo que vai agradar a turma do “Palestina livre do rio ao mar”. Não é um vídeo que agradará quem acha que Israel está sempre certa. É um vídeo para quem deseja compreender e quem anseia, urgentemente, pela paz. Uma paz cada vez mais distante.Eu sou Pedro Doria, editor do Meio.Netanyahu não é um premiê popular. Ele sabe disso. Sabe que perderia a eleição pesado. Ele tem o apoio de apenas 32% dos israelenses. Mais do que isso. 55% acreditam que seu único interesse é se manter no poder. Uma pesquisa realizada este mês pelo Maariv afirma que a oposição, se as eleições fossem hoje, conquistaria 62 cadeiras do Knesset e, o bloco de Netanyahu, 48.Existem duas extrema-direitas diferentes em Israel. E é importante entender isso. São dois grupos que, embora igualmente extremistas, não se bicam. Não se falam. De um lado estão os nacionalistas sionistas e, do outro, os ultra-ortodoxos.Uma das principais marcas dos nacionalistas sionistas, tipo a camisa da Seleção brasileira deles, o boné MAGA, é uma kipá de tricô. Eles são quem mais faz pressão para que Israel anexe os territórios palestinos, a Cisjordânia e Gaza. É a turma que ergue assentamentos, condomínios inteiros, em território que não pertence ao Estado de Israel. Defendem uma Grande Israel, andam pesadamente armados, em geral quando há instantes de violência contra palestinos, são eles. Foi um cara desse grupo que assassinou Yitzhak Rabin no momento em que ele tentava negociar a paz com Yasser Arafat. Os nacionalistas sionistas são sempre os primeiros a se alistar no Exército e se oferecem para estar na linha de frente. São, por isso mesmo, os que mais morrem na guerra.Os ultraortodoxos são o contrário. Não se alistam, têm licença especial para escaparem do serviço militar que é obrigatório para todos os outros cidadãos israelenses. Também não trabalham. Estudam a Torá o dia todo e são financiados pelo Estado. Seu principal objetivo é manterem-se isentos do serviço militar e de qualquer trabalho, é manter os recursos do Estado vindo pra eles enquanto estudam a palavra de Deus.A tensão entre os dois grupos é grande e é real justamente por isso. Só que em nenhum outro governo na história de Israel qualquer um dos dois já teve o espaço de poder que eles têm hoje. Porque, a sua maneira, são extremistas de formas distintas. Então um atura o outro e os dois grupos, embora minoritários, têm votos o suficiente para manter Netanyahu no poder. A coalizão de governo se mantem no poder por 4 votos. Apenas quatro cadeiras. Se quatro deputados deixam o governo, ele desmorona. Só que não acontece. Não acontece enquanto Netanyahu garantir as benesses dos religiosos e acenar com limpeza étnica palestina para os nacionalistas.Mas como foi que Netanyahu chegou lá? Tem uma verdade inconveniente nisso tudo. Israel apresentou duas vezes um plano concreto para a criação do Estado da Palestina. A primeira com o gabinete de centro-esquerda de Ehud Barak, no ano 2000. A segunda pelo gabinete de centro-direita de Ehud Olmert, em 2008. Não é que os palestinos tenham recusado. Nem Arafat, em 2000, nem Mahmoud Abbas, em 2008, apresentaram uma contra-proposta. Na verdade, após a primeira apresentação de proposta, explodiu a Segunda Intifada, que matou muita gente em Israel. É como se, no momento em que finalmente Israel conseguiu se convencer, tanto na esquerda quanto na direita, de que era preciso haver um Estado palestino, o governo da Palestina tivesse congelado. Vejam, teve uma vez, sem resposta. Veio uma onda brutal de ataques terroristas. Aí apresentaram uma segunda proposta. Silêncio no rádio. Os palestinos nunca disseram, sequer, não. Nunca explicaram exatamente o que não gostavam na Foi neste cenário que Benjamin Netanyahu se elegeu. Ele era o único político dizendo “os palestinos não querem paz”. Subentendido nesta ideia está a percepção que muitos israelenses ainda têm de que, para os palestinos, a única solução é o fim de Israel. Pois, em 2009, a população de Israel ouviu Bibi. E o elegeu. Mais de uma década e meia depois, ele segue no governo e tudo piorou muito. Netanyahu tornou a paz ainda mais difícil de ser conquistada. Então como se constrói a paz?O Sete de Outubro é um trauma que não vai embora tão cedo. A destruição de Gaza, muito menos. Mas eu queria sublinhar um último ponto. Hoje, 50% da população de Israel é formada por judeus cujos avós moravam no Norte da África e no Oriente Médio. 30% por judeus cujos avós vieram da Europa. 20% de árabes palestinos com cidadania israelense. Geneticamente, os judeus asquenazitas, os europeus, são mais próximos dos judeus mizrahim e sefarditas do que de qualquer povo europeu. Eles são a mesma gente. E não há povo mais próximo de qualquer judeu do que os palestinos.Isso tem explicação. São os dois povos cananeus. Os dois povos são de lá. Os dois povos descendem diretamente dos homens e mulheres que primeiro aprenderam a plantar na história. Isso. Dez mil anos atrás, na Revolução Agrícola. Nenhum povo pertence mais a uma mesma terra do que judeus e palestinos pertencem a Canaã. Não importa sua crença ideológica, sua crença religiosa, nada muda o fato de que são duas culturas ancoradas há milênios naquela terra. Todas suas rezas, seus monumentos, seus textos. Cada artefato arqueológico encontrado com mil, dois mil, três mil, cinco mil, oito mil anos foi construído, moldado, pelas mãos dos antepassados de todos os judeus e todos os palestinos. Em alguns casos, dos antepassados comuns aos dois povos.Não existe saída que não o reconhecimento de que a terra é dos dois. Precisamos dos dois países. E, às vezes, a paz nasce justamente quando não parece mais haver esperança.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's no more divisive Israeli public figure than Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir. Starting out his career as a Kahanist firebrand known for his controversial stances—like decorating his living room with a photograph of Baruch Goldstein, or working to free Yigal Amir, Yitzhak Rabin's assassin—Ben-Gvir evolved from a political sideshow to kingmaker, winning several Knesset seats and joining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition. For some Israelis, he's the strong-willed, strong-armed course correction after too many years of being too soft on terror. To many others, he's an abomination, subverting the nation's democratic values. Visiting New York this week, Ben-Gvir attended a live event moderated by Liel to talk about his past, his actions in office, and his vision for the future of the war against Hamas.

This week on The Jerusalem Post Podcast, Eve Young and Eliav Breuer talk about US President Donald Trump's tariff rollercoaster, Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu's visits to Hungary and the US, the High Court of Justice's injunction on the firing Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, and a looming potential constitutional crisis with the return of the judicial reform.In the second part, Tamar Uriel-Beeri interviews Prof. Shimon Shetreet, a legal expert who was a minister in Yitzhak Rabin's government, to expand on the issues and divisiveness of the judicial reform (or "revolution," as he refers to it), and the socio-political implications it has for Israel.

On this final episode of the Scheer Intelligence podcast hosted on KCRW but continuing on ScheerPost.com,  host Robert Scheer welcomes Larry Gross, author and Professor Emeritus of Communication at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. The two cover Zionism, specifically through the lens of Gross, who lived in Israel and personally witnessed the country’s evolution from its earlier claim to progressive idealism under its Labor party founders to the brutalizing occupation of Gaza and the West Bank Palestinians. Although the term Zionism carries negative international weight today, Gross tells the story of his family, who came to Israel after his father left the United States in response to McCarthyism. Israel’s early labor connected and progressive politics represented a symbol of opportunity and hope for the Jewish diaspora community, such as Gross’ family. His father, who worked for, and was friends with then Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, thought Israel was “realizing this dream of the Zionist left, which was the party that had governed Israel… and was purporting to be creating both a Jewish state [and] also a progressive state.” As Gross aged, however, Zionism’s mask slowly began to peel and the ugliness would emerge. “As a teenager growing up in Israel, some of the contradictions were already becoming apparent, ones that today are all too unmistakable,” Gross tells Scheer. Israel has sharply broken from its labor affiliated days after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin by a Jewish religious fanatic to the ascendancy of Benjamin Netanyahu’s far right Zionist government. Zionism turned on itself and now threatens the very Jews who initially looked upon it with hope. Gross’s family escaped McCarthyism, but now Jews like him in America working in groups like Jewish Voice for Peace, objecting to Israel’s uncontrolled militarism, face a more virulent repression from the Trump Administration inspired by Israel's right-wing militancy. Gross cites the pro-Palestine campus protests and explains, “what is happening in universities today… they are performing anticipatory compliance. They are failing to stand up, just as universities unfortunately did in the 1950s in that era we call McCarthyism, in which they fired people, they refused to hire them, they rewrote policies.” Gross remarks that there are many voices of reason, including many Jews, that speak out against Israel’s atrocities today. “The slogan ‘never again’ has to mean never again, including to Palestinians,” he says.

In this episode, in which two essays are read, Einat lays the myth to rest that Yitzhak Rabin's assassination derailed the peace process between the Israelis and Palestinians. Why is the tenure of Rabin so mythologized and glorified? And if Yigal Amir did not truly kill the peace process, then what did?

Vincent Lemire, historien spécialiste de Jérusalem est le directeur du centre de recherche français à Jérusalem, maître de conférences et spécialiste des conflits du Proche-Orient.Il est l'auteur de très nombreux ouvrages, dernièrement de la bande dessinée à succès "Jérusalem" mais il a également participé au podcast de France Inter "Israël Palestine : anatomie d'un conflit" et est l'auteur du livre éponyme.Vincent a consacré l'ensemble de sa carrière à étudier cette région du monde, avec un regard attentif sur les dynamiques historiques, religieuses et géopolitiques qui la traversent. Ensemble, nous avons pris le temps de décrypter un sujet complexe, sensible et souvent mal compris : le conflit israélo-palestinien.Aucun sujet ne devrait être tabou mais il est important de les traiter avec neutralité et s'attachant aux faits et aux lois. C'est exactement ce que l'on fait avec Vincent.Cet épisode est le plus long jamais réalisé sur Vlan, il est donc séparé en 2 parties. Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de l'émergence du sionisme, un mouvement politique et national né à la fin du 19ème siècle en Europe. C'est Theodor Herzl, marqué par l'antisémitisme européen, et notamment par l'affaire Dreyfus en France, qui a formulé l'idée d'un refuge pour les Juifs dans un contexte de montée des persécutions. J'ai questionné Vincent sur la manière dont ce projet sioniste s'est structuré et les différentes options qui ont été envisagées avant que la Palestine ne devienne la destination privilégiée pour la création d'un foyer national juif. Ce point de départ est crucial pour comprendre les tensions qui s'en suivront.Nous avons aussi exploré la cohabitation entre Juifs, Musulmans et Chrétiens dans la Palestine ottomane à la fin du 19ème siècle. Contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait imaginer, les relations entre ces communautés étaient relativement harmonieuses à l'époque, notamment à Jérusalem, où la municipalité était mixte, avec des représentants de chaque communauté. Vincent explique comment ce fragile équilibre a été bouleversé par la montée des nationalismes à partir du début du 20ème siècle.Le conflit a véritablement pris forme après la Première Guerre mondiale, lorsque les puissances coloniales ont pris le contrôle de la région. Nous avons discuté de la guerre de 1948, un tournant décisif, et des raisons pour lesquelles les Palestiniens ont rejeté le plan de partage proposé par l'ONU. Vincent offre un éclairage précieux sur cette période, où 80% de la population en Palestine était arabe, mais où le projet sioniste prenait de plus en plus de poids, soutenu par une volonté de créer un État juif indépendant.La guerre des Six Jours en 1967, un autre moment clé, a conduit à l'occupation de la Cisjordanie, de Gaza, du Golan et du Sinaï par Israël. Cet épisode a profondément redessiné les frontières de la région, transformant le conflit israélo-palestinien en une lutte pour la restitution des territoires. Nous avons discuté de la façon dont cette occupation perdure encore aujourd'hui et comment elle continue d'alimenter les tensions.Enfin, nous avons abordé les tentatives de paix, notamment les accords d'Oslo dans les années 1990, qui avaient suscité beaucoup d'espoir mais qui, malheureusement, ont échoué à apporter une solution durable.J'ai interrogé Vincent sur les raisons de cet échec, en particulier le pari fait par Yasser Arafat, qui a reconnu l'existence d'Israël en échange d'un espoir de restitution de 22% du territoire pour un État palestinien. A cette occasion, il recevra le prix Nobel de la Paix conjointement avec Yitzhak Rabin et Shimon Peres.Malheureusement, cet espoir n'a jamais été concrétisé.Cet épisode est une véritable plongée dans l'histoire et les enjeux contemporains du conflit israélo-palestinien. Nous tentons de prendre du recul pour mieux comprendre les racines profondes de cette confrontation, les dynamiques religieuses et nationales, ainsi que le rôle des grandes puissances dans la région. C'est une invitation à aller au-delà des raccourcis et des idées préconçues pour saisir la complexité d'un conflit qui continue de modeler l'actualité internationale.Une partie des questions que l'on traite avec Vincent :À partir de quel moment historique est-il pertinent de remonter pour comprendre le conflit israélo-palestinien ?Comment le projet sioniste a-t-il émergé à la fin du 19ème siècle et quelle a été son influence sur les relations internationales ?Quelles ont été les motivations derrière la déclaration de Balfour en 1917 et comment a-t-elle changé le cours du conflit ?Quelles étaient les dynamiques religieuses et sociales entre Juifs, Musulmans et Chrétiens dans la Palestine ottomane avant le début des tensions nationalistes ?Pourquoi les Palestiniens ont-ils refusé le plan de partage de l'ONU en 1947 ?Quels ont été les impacts des guerres de 1948 et de 1967 sur les frontières actuelles de la région ?En quoi la guerre des Six Jours de 1967 a-t-elle marqué un tournant décisif dans le conflit israélo-palestinien ?Comment l'occupation israélienne de la Cisjordanie et de Gaza s'est-elle mise en place, et pourquoi persiste-t-elle encore aujourd'hui ?Quelles étaient les principales divergences entre les mouvements sionistes révisionnistes et les mouvements sionistes plus modérés ?Pourquoi les accords d'Oslo ont-ils échoué à résoudre le conflit et quels étaient les enjeux stratégiques pour les deux parties ?Quel rôle a joué la diaspora palestinienne dans le soutien international à la cause palestinienne ?Comment les puissances coloniales, comme la France et le Royaume-Uni, ont-elles influencé les premiers accords autour de la Palestine ?Quel est l'impact de la montée des mouvements religieux en Israël et en Palestine sur les négociations politiques ?En quoi le processus de paix est-il entravé par la politique des colonies israéliennes en Cisjordanie ?Pourquoi les frontières définies après la guerre de 1948 n'ont-elles pas suffi à stabiliser la région ?Quel rôle jouent les grandes puissances, comme les États-Unis et la Russie, dans la dynamique du conflit actuel ?Comment la guerre en Ukraine a-t-elle influencé la perception du conflit israélo-palestinien sur la scène internationale ?En quoi les accords récents, comme ceux d'Abraham, impactent-ils le conflit israélo-palestinien ?Quels sont les principaux points de blocage dans les négociations actuelles entre Israël et l'Autorité palestinienne ?Comment l'évolution des mouvements politiques en Israël, comme la montée de l'extrême droite, a-t-elle influencé la gestion du conflit ?Quelle est la position de l'Union Européenne sur les colonies israéliennes et l'occupation des territoires ?Pourquoi les résolutions de l'ONU n'ont-elles pas abouti à une solution durable ?En quoi la guerre des Yom Kippour en 1973 a-t-elle modifié la géopolitique régionale ?Comment la question des réfugiés palestiniens influence-t-elle encore aujourd'hui le processus de paix ?Quel rôle les organisations non-gouvernementales jouent-elles dans la médiation du conflit ?Timestamps00:00 - Le poids des résolutions de l'ONU :03:30 - La politique américaine au Moyen-Orient : 08:00 - La radicalisation religieuse des deux côtés : 12:45 - Discussion sur le terme "génocide" dans le contexte israélo-palestinien : 20:00 - Les mouvements BDS et les appels au boycott d'Israël : 27:15 - L'influence des médias internationaux : 33:45 - L'expansion des colonies israéliennes en Cisjordanie : 40:00 - Les accords d'Abraham : 45:30 - Héritage de la guerre des Six Jours (1967) : 51:00 - Le futur de Jérusalem :55:30 - Perspectives pour une solution pacifique : Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #312 Les défis géopolitiques d'un monde hors de contrôle avec Thomas Gomart (https://audmns.com/jscnrns) #166 Comprendre le phénomène des génocides pour les éviter avec Jacques Fredj (https://audmns.com/ftstCEN) #175 Comprendre le dessous des guerres invisibles mondiales avec Thomas Gomart (https://audmns.com/DDPnQDW)

Are John and Joyce Edmonds the unwitting guardians of a portal to another dimension? Is their story a descent into madness? Or are we all fascinated by what is just an elaborate hoax? (Interdimensional Intruders: The Mystery of Stardust Ranch) *** In the abandoned halls of Gartloch Hospital, a century-old psychiatric facility on the outskirts of Glasgow, two nurses recount chilling encounters with spectral figures from the past. From mysterious footsteps echoing in empty corridors to a ghostly matron disappearing through locked doors, their stories paint a picture of a hospital where the line between the living and the dead blurs. Do the spirits of Gartloch's past still roam its wards? (The Ghosts of Garloch) *** In 1954, a wave of panic swept through Washington state as thousands of motorists reported mysterious damage to their car windshields. What began as a local curiosity in Bellingham soon exploded into a statewide phenomenon, sparking wild theories ranging from cosmic rays to hatching sand fleas. But was this truly an epidemic of vandalism and unexplained phenomena, or a textbook case of mass delusion fueled by Cold War anxieties? (The Seattle Windshield Pitting Epidemic) *** In the depths of Switzerland's Lake Brienz, a drowned man's body was found astonishingly intact—despite having been dead for over 300 years. Preserved by the rare and eerie process of saponification, his remains were encased in a waxy substance formed from body fat under the right conditions. This eerie phenomenon transforms bodies into waxy time capsules, defying the natural process of decay. We'll look at the creepy but somehow natural reality of corpse wax. (Corpse Wax) *** For centuries, scholars and enthusiasts have speculated about hidden messages encoded within ancient texts, with recent claims suggesting that the Bible itself conceals secret prophecies waiting to be uncovered. From predicting historical events like World War II and the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin to foretelling the Oklahoma City bombing, proponents of the "Bible Code" believe these codes reveal divine insights. Are these hidden messages genuine revelations, or merely the result of overactive imaginations and random patterns?

I år er det 30 år siden Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin og Shimon Peres ble tildelt Nobels fredspris for sin innsats for å skape fred i Midtøsten, og for sitt bidrag i dialogen om en fredelig løsning på konflikten mellom Palestina og Israel. Året før hadde de tre forhandlet frem Oslo-avtalen. Både avtalen og fredspristildelingen er fortsatt aktuell og kontroversiell – 30 år senere. Hvilken betydning har Osloavtalen for utviklingen av konflikten mellom Palestina og Israel og krigen i Gaza i dag? Og hva kan verdenssamfunnet lære av denne avtalen? Møt: Kjersti Fløgstad, direktør ved Nobels Fredssenter Olav Njølstad, direktør ved Det Norske Nobelinstitutt og sekretær for Nobelkomiteen Sidsel Wold, forfatter og journalist, Midtøstenkorrespondent i NRK Jørgen Jensehaugen, seniorforsker ved fredsforskningsinstituttet (PRIO)

In May 1976, four terrorists hijacked an aeroplane as it took off from Athens airport. Most of the passengers were Israeli or Jewish. After a stop-off in Libya, the plane was flown to Uganda where, in front of the world's media, the next few days played out like some weird and unreal film. Would the Israelis comply with the terrorists' demands? Would the hostages be executed? Or – most unlikely of all – would the powers that be in Israel attempt a daring rescue mission? Those few days at Entebbe have been written about extensively since then. Films and documentaries have been produced, recounting these astonishing events. Many speak of the military daring and ingenuity of the Israelis. What they accomplished defied all logic. And yet few view this amazing event in the light of Bible prophecy. The Father promised to preserve His people. He stated openly that the might of the enemy would come to nought. That His children would survive, against all the odds. And for those with “eyes to see”, the Israeli soldiers' actions at Entebbe demonstrate this principle to be true for, as God has promised, “no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper” Operation Thunderbolt, which took place in July 1976, was a daring rescue mission carried out by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to save Israeli hostages held by terrorists at Entebbe Airport in Uganda. While the operation displayed remarkable military precision and strategic planning, we can appreciate that divine intervention was key to the success of the mission. As detailed in this study, one can find many aspects within the event that could be seen as demonstrations of extraordinary circumstances aligning in favor of the rescue mission. The crisis began on June 27, 1976, when an Air France plane with 248 passengers was hijacked by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the German Revolutionary Cells. The terrorists redirected the aircraft to Entebbe Airport, where they held the Israeli passengers hostage while releasing non-Israeli passengers. Some notable elements include: Intelligence: The IDF obtained crucial intelligence about the location and layout of the airport, as well as the positions and capabilities of the terrorists. This information was instrumental in planning the mission and ensuring the element of surprise. Strategic Planning: Israeli forces meticulously planned and rehearsed the operation, taking into account the unique challenges they would face, such as the long distance from Israel and the need to navigate hostile territory. Internal and International Support: Israel's Prime Minister at the time, Yitzhak Rabin, displayed strong leadership and authorized the mission. Additionally, Israel received vital assistance from friendly nations, including the provision of old airport blueprints and refuelling support from Kenya. Speed and Precision: The IDF executed the operation with remarkable speed, allowing them to neutralize the terrorists, free the hostages, and evacuate them within a short timeframe. The precision of their assault minimized casualties and maximized the chances of success. Surprise and Decisiveness: The terrorists, as well as Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, were caught off guard by the Israeli raid. The element of surprise greatly contributed to the success of the operation. ******* This video was produced by the ChristadelphianVideo.org project, You can follow us online at.. #1 Our Main site... https://cdvideo.org #2 Our podcast on Podbean... https://cdvideo.org/podcast #3 Our podcast on Apple...https://cdvideo.org/podcast-apple #4 Our podcast on Anchor...https://cdvideo.org/truth-talk #5 Our facebook...https://facebook.com/OpenBibles #6 Our Whats App... http://cdvideo.org/WhatsApp #7 Our Instagram... http://cdvideo.org/Instagram #8 Our twitter... http://cdvideo.org/twitter Related to: No Weapon Formed Against Thee Shall Prosper https://youtu.be/aXIm79cOZIE

Hezbollah released a video over the weekend flaunting a massive tunnel network with precision rockets and underground launch sites. It came amid lingering threats that Hezbollah would retaliate for the killing of its top military commander last month. Dr. Jacques Neriah, a senior researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and a former policy adviser to prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, said that the revelation was a move to deter Israel from attacking it. He told reporter Arieh O'Sullivan that Hezbollah was more keen on destroying Israel than preserving Lebanon and that an agreement with it wasn't likely.

No news outlet is utterly reliable these days, David Horovitz says. You always need one eyebrow raised.The founding editor of Time of Israel — with tens of millions of monthly readers, and ranked as the world's fastest-growing news site in October and November — has worked in journalism for over 40 years, previously editing The Jerusalem Post and The Jerusalem Report. His days and nights are consumed by Israel (and he has the bags to prove it) since Hamas' October 7 attack.David is also the author of several books, including Still Life with Bombers: Israel in the Age of Terrorism (2004) and the award-winning Shalom, Friend: The Life and Legacy of Yitzhak Rabin (1996). Now, he sits down with us to answer 18 questions on Israel, including if Western media covers the Israel-Hamas War fairly, what should happen with Gaza after the war, which outlets he reads on Israel, and so much more.This interview was held on July 1.Here are our 18 questions:As an Israeli, and as a Jew, how are you feeling at this moment in Israeli history?What has been Israel's greatest success and greatest mistake in its war against Hamas?Do you think Western media covers the Israel-Hamas War fairly?What do you look for in deciding which Knesset party to vote for?Which is more important for Israel: Judaism or democracy?What role should the Israeli government have in religious matters?Should Israel treat its Jewish and non-Jewish citizens the same?Now that Israel already exists, what is the purpose of Zionism?Is opposing Zionism inherently antisemitic?Is the IDF the world's most moral army?If you were making the case for Israel, where would you begin?Can questioning the actions of Israel's government and army — such as in the context of this war — be a valid form of love and patriotism?What do you think is the most legitimate criticism leveled against Israel today?Do you think peace between Israelis and Palestinians will happen within your lifetime?What should happen with Gaza and the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict after the war?Where do you read news about Israel?Where do you identify on Israel's political and religious spectrum, and do you have friends on the “other side”?Do you have more hope or fear for Israel and the Jewish People?

Neuf mois de guerre à Gaza, 7-Octobre en Israël, autant de nouveaux chapitres dans l'interminable conflit israélo-palestinien. Sous la plume de trois anciens correspondants du journal Le Monde dans la région, Benjamin Barthe, Gilles Paris et Piotr Smolar, le livre La guerre sans fin, publié aux éditions de l'Aube, revient sur les origines du conflit : « De la naissance du sionisme, sur fond de persécutions antijuives, à la fin du XIXe siècle, au raidissement identitaire d'Israël et à l'impasse politique palestinienne qui menacent, d'enterrer la solution à deux États ».  Entretien avec l'un des auteurs, Benjamin Barthe. RFI : Vous avez choisi d'éclairer le conflit actuel à Gaza en mettant en exergue cinq chapitres de l'histoire de la Palestine et d'Israël. Parmi ces chapitres, la création de l'État israélien en 1948, au lendemain de la Shoah. La naissance de cet État s'est faite dans la douleur pour la population arabe, majoritaire dans la Palestine mandataire. C'est la fameuse Nakba, qui fait écho à ce qui se passe aujourd'hui à Gaza.Benjamin Barthe : Oui, effectivement, c'est un peu le traumatisme fondateur qui, aujourd'hui, est peut-être dépassé en matière de tragique par ce qui se passe à Gaza. Il faut bien comprendre que Gaza, en termes de tueries, en termes de déplacements de population, c'est beaucoup plus massif que ce à quoi on a assisté en 1948 lors de la Nakba. Donc, il y a un deuxième traumatisme qui est en train de se surajouter à celui de 1948, qui est celui de Gaza, qui est vécu de manière extrêmement violente par toute la population palestinienne, en Cisjordanie, à Gaza évidemment, et puis également en Israël, au sein de la population palestinienne d'Israël.Donc la Nakba, qu'est-ce que c'est ? C'est le naufrage, c'est l'engloutissement de la Palestine. Il y avait un pays et en l'espace de quelques semaines, l'essentiel de la population est expulsée de ses foyers. Et à la place de cette population s'installe une population juive qui va très très vite croître parce que, à partir de la création de l'État d'Israël en mai 1948, le nouvel État va faire venir d'autres populations, notamment du monde arabe, qui vont s'installer dans les maisons, dans les domiciles désormais vacants des Palestiniens qui ont été obligés de faire place nette et qui sont partis s'installer dans des camps de réfugiés en Cisjordanie, à Gaza, au Liban, en Jordanie et en Syrie.À lire aussi75 ans de la Nakba: «Cette histoire est aussi notre histoire à nous, Israéliens»Ce conflit israélo-palestinien est marqué par une « malédiction », dites-vous dans la préface de votre livre. C'est une succession d'occasions manquées de créer un État palestinien, de faire la paix. Les Israéliens et les Palestiniens se renvoient les responsabilités depuis des dizaines d'années. À qui la faute, finalement ? Je me garderai de conclure afin de répondre de manière tranchée et catégorique à cette question. Ce qui est évident, c'est qu'il y a eu à un moment — au début du processus de paix, alors que tous les paramètres incitaient au pessimisme — une espèce d'alchimie qui s'est mise en place entre Yasser Arafat et Yitzhak Rabin, mais qui très vite va avorter avec l'assassinat de Yitzhak Rabin en 1995. Donc, on ne sait pas, en définitive, si ces deux hommes auraient eu la possibilité de faire le chemin jusqu'au bout. Il y a eu des négociations, il y a eu des ébauches d'accords de paix qui ont été rédigées des deux côtés. Mais il n'y a jamais eu ce frémissement qu'on a senti à l'époque d'Oslo et qui aurait pu, dans un autre contexte, sans l'assassinat de Yitzhak Rabin, sans également les attentats suicides qui ont également contribué à crisper les positions, sans la poursuite de la colonisation — le troisième facteur extrêmement déstabilisateur. Sans tous ces paramètres-là, on aurait pu déboucher à autre chose. L'histoire aurait pu être différente.Il y a eu les attaques atroces du 7-Octobre commises par le Hamas et la réplique disproportionnée d'Israël contre les Gazaouis. Vous écrivez à la fin de votre livre : « Pour Israël comme pour le Hamas, l'heure du bilan devra venir. » Mais la solution, semblez-vous dire, ne peut venir que de pressions extérieures ?Les gouvernements israéliens successifs n'ont jamais été obligés de payer le prix du statu quo. Le maintien du statu quo a toujours été moins coûteux et moins dommageable politiquement que le risque de la paix. Autrement dit, tant qu'il n'y aura pas de pression véritable sur le gouvernement israélien, tant qu'il n'y aura pas, peut-être, des formes de sanctions, un rappel très net au droit international et à l'obligation du respect du droit international, il est assez vain d'imaginer que le gouvernement israélien se conforme à ce droit international et aux obligations qui en incombent. Donc, il y a véritablement, de ce point de vue là, une responsabilité de la communauté internationale très, très forte qui, plutôt que de répéter de manière un peu incantatoire, un peu lancinante et somme toute assez vaine, les éléments de langage du processus de paix, comme on l'a vu dans les années 1990, la condamnation de la colonisation, etc. Désormais, il faut que l'appel à la création d'un État palestinien s'accompagne de véritables leviers de pression, de quelque chose de beaucoup plus concret et de moins rhétorique que pendant les années d'Oslo.À écouter aussiGaza, un désastre humanitaire

Barak Sella is an educator, activist, writer, researcher, and one of the leading Israeli experts on US-Israel relations and World Jewry. Born in Texas, Barak moved to Israel in 1994, exactly one year before the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, the Israeli Prime Minister who was most dedicated to making peace with the Palestinians. This event deeply affected him and became an inseparable part of his socialization in Israeli society.  Ten years later, as a soldier in the Israeli Defense Forces, Barak was part of the disengagement from Gaza and in the unit that evacuated the very last Jewish settlers from the region. We talk about all of this in this episode and how those formative events have impacted the way Barak understands his family's past, the world presently, and his hopes for the future. Throughout his career, Barak has focused on building bridges within communities in Israel and worldwide. He was formerly the Executive Director of the Reut Institute, one of Israel's foremost think tanks on strategy and leadership. During his years at the institute, Barak worked with leading actors in the Israeli government and with NGOs from Israel and the US on various issues: Israel delegitimization, antisemitism, Jewish Peoplehood, and Israel-US relations. Barak recently graduated from the Harvard Kennedy School for Government and is currently a Middle East Initiative fellow at the Harvard Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.

On this edition of Parallax Views, the University of Connecticut's Prof. Jeremy Pressman, Director of Middle East Studies at UConn and author of The Sword is Not Enough: Arabs, Israelis, and the Limits of Military Force, joins the show to discuss the myths of the 2000 Camp David Summit and Taba talks. During recent appearances in media programs such as Morning Joe w/ Joe Scarborough, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brought up the old trope that "the Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity" that is often invoked when discussing PLO leader Yasser Arafat and the 2000 Camp David Summit. This is used to say that Arafat failed the Palestinian people and "rejected an offer". It's also a talking point used to justify use of military force rather than pursuing a political solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. It forecloses on the possibility of a diplomatic solution or peace being achieved by saying the Palestinians are "not ready" for peace. Prof. Jeremy Pressman wrote a researched, footnoted piece entitled "Visions in Collision: What Happened at Camp David and Taba?" that pushes back on this oversimplified narrative of the Clinton-era diplomatic negotiations between Israel and Palestinians. We'll dig into all the different areas of the 2000 Camp David Summit as well as dealing with the pre-history of it, specifically the Oslo Accords and the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. We'll also compared Camp David to the Abraham Accords, cycles of escalatory violence, land swaps and the two-state solution, the Confederation model and the arguments against the two-state solution, the power asymmetry between Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. concessions made by the Palestinians in negotiations, and much, much more.

Gershon Baskin is an Israeli writer, columnist, author and one of the most recognizable names in the Middle East Peace process. He is the Middle East Director of ICO…International Communities Organization and is the Director of the Holy Land Bond. Ad he is the co-founder and former co-director of the Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information. During the Premiership of the late Yitzhak Rabin, he served as a special advisor on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process to a secret team of intelligence officers established by Mr. Rabin. In 2011, after five years of negotiation with Hamas, he successfully brokered the release of abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit. Gershon shares his thoughts on the pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel protests on college campuses across America, and offers his critical perspective on an extremely complicated, nuanced, volatile situation which predates and includes the barbaric October 7th attack, as well as the actions taken by Israel since. We discuss the hostage negotiations; the current ceasefire offer; the desperate need for peace; and the necessity of a two-state solution. Once again, Gershon provides honest, balanced historical context for this centuries-old conflict in the region Got somethin' to say?!

Uncover the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with me and esteemed guest Mason Herson-Hord, director of the Institute for Social Ecology. Together, we'll navigate the often misunderstood narratives and ideologies that have shaped this historical struggle. From the deep-seated roots of Zionism to the rise of grassroots resistance movements, this discussion offers an enlightening perspective on the events and figures that have influenced the region's political evolution.In a series of candid conversations, we trace the contours of power and politics, dissecting the Six-Day War's transformative impact, the emergence of local Palestinian councils during the First Intifada, and the fusion of extremist ideologies within Israeli mainstream politics. It's a journey through the decades, examining the interplay of socio-economic factors, the fracturing of Zionist unity, and the rise of new voices challenging established narratives. Our dialogue scrutinizes the influence of figures like Meir Kahane and Yitzhak Rabin, as well as the implications of the second Intifada on current political stances.Our exploration culminates with a present-day analysis of the strategies employed by groups like Hamas, the concerning trends among Israeli youth, and the shifting attitudes within the American Jewish community towards Zionism. As we grapple with the international complexities of this conflict, the importance of grassroot movements and the power of community action are emphasized.

What if everything you've been hearing about the Israel-Palestine conflict is far from the complex reality unfolding in the region? This episode shatters the conventional narratives and dives headlong into the raw, unfiltered truths of the war, unearthing shocking details of the Liddar Ramle Death March of 1948, alleged staged surrenders, and the impact it all has on the US and EU. @MaxBlumenthal draws a chilling picture of the unfolding situation, tracing back to the origins of Yitzhak Rabin, the architect of the Oslo Accords, and the controversial figure involved in the initial ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.We uncover the disturbing lack of substantive governmental opposition to the alleged ethnic cleansing led by Netanyahu and expose the disheartening state of Israeli public opinion. As we dissect the roles of Netanyahu and Hamas in the ongoing war, the larger objectives become alarmingly clear. This conversation is a journey through the harrowing events on the ground to the psychological tactics employed beyond the battlefield. It's a rare chance to understand the intricate dynamics of this volatile issue, beyond the political posturing and media narratives.

It has occurred to me that there is great interest in the background to the current conflict.  Here is a discussion of the Palestinian Refugees of 1948. This is an extremely important topic surrounded by false narratives and inflammatory rhetoric.  I have put off preparing a podcast for some time, but not because it is sensitive.  I deal with quite a few sensitive topics.  It goes with the territory.  But in this case, a reason for my hesitation is that I have a written briefing document that is the basis of this podcast.  It is very thorough and is fully available to anyone through Deep Blue.  (See the separate podcast on how to access Deep Blue).  It has the same title as this podcast.  But I have thought for some time that transferring that written document to a podcast would be a good thing.  My hesitation is that I will be reading and improvising from a printed text into the spoken word.  I am worried about jumps and stops and stumbles along the way.  I hope those who listen to this will find it useful. It will certainly introduce some information that is new to most of you. And if you also want to download the document from Deep Blue that is good given that it has additional information in it.   https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/handle/2027.42/110670Note that there are previous podcasts on The Palestine War of 1948, and The Palestinians After 1948.

"På vegne af USA og Rusland, som begge støtter fredsprocessen i Mellemøsten, byder jeg velkommen til denne store historiske begivenhed, der indvarsler håb". Ordene kommer fra Bill Clinton, datoen er 13. september 1993. Med Det Hvide Hus i baggrunden er USA's præsident flankeret af Israels premierminister Yitzhak Rabin og PLOs formand, Yassir Arafat. De to havde længe været dødsfjender. Rabin opfattede Arafat som en brutal terrorist, mens Arafat i Rabin så en morderisk zionist. Nu stod de ansigt til ansigt og rakte tøvede hænderne frem som et tegn på forsoning. Deres håndtryk markerede den symbolske kulmination på den såkaldte Oslofredsproces, som dengang tog verden med overraskelse - og storm. Hvad var indholdet af denne opsigtsvækkende aftale? Hvem bærer ansvaret for at de løfterige visioner om stabilitet og sameksistens endte i et orgie af terror og drab? Og er der i dag en brugbar erfaring at hente i fredsprocessen for 30 år siden? Det er spørgsmålene i denne uges Kampen om historien, hvor Adam Holm taler med Anders Jerichow, der er journalist og udenrigspolitisk kommentator på Politiken. Musik: Adi Zukanovic.

Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded November 15th, 2023 If there is any value in staying informed: reading the papers, watching television reports, subscribing to online journalists and aggregators, it is to be prepared. But even the most assiduous, meticulously matriculated self-education can lead to where the familiar becomes alien, and once confident knowledge incognizance. It's then, when the world fails to make sense, we ask, "How did we get here?" Answering that requires a broader perspective than is possible with our noses pressed against the present; for that, a little historical distance is prescriptive. For example, we can't appreciate why the United States is where it is in November, 2023 without knowing what happened November 22nd, 1963. Likewise, understanding Israel's actions today means revealing the real events of November 4th, 1995. Jeremy Kuzmarov is a journalist and author who also serves as Managing Editor at CovertActionMagazine.com. His book titles include, ‘Obama's Unending Wars', ‘The Russians Are Coming, Again', written with John Marciano, and his latest, fresh from the printer's, 'Warmonger: How Clinton's Malign Foreign Policy Launched the US Trajectory from Bush II to Biden'. Jeremy's recent article at CAM, 'Yigal Amir is Israel's Oswald' examines the day prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated and how that foul deed helped make Israel what it is today.

Yitzhak Rabin, el ex primer ministro de Israel, fue asesinado en 1995 por Yigal Amir, un extremista judío de derecha que se oponía a los esfuerzos de Rabin por lograr la paz con los palestinos. Hay teorías de conspiración que rodean su muerte, incluyendo implicaciones de que el servicio de seguridad interna de Israel, el Shin Bet, podría haber estado involucrado de alguna manera.

Gershon Baskin is an Israeli writer, columnist, author and one of the most recognizable names in the Middle East Peace process. His dedication to creating a culture of peace and environmental awareness, coupled with his impeccable integrity, has earned him the trust of the leaders of all sides of the century old conflict. He is the Director of the Holy Land Bond, a new fund aimed at investing in housing projects for Palestinians in East Jerusalem, integrated housing projects for Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel in Israel's “mixed cities”. Gershon is the co-founder and former co-director of the Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information. During the Premiership of the late Yitzhak Rabin, he served as a special advisor on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process to a secret team of intelligence officers established by Mr. Rabin. In 2011, after five years of negotiation with Hamas, he successfully brokered the release of abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit. Join us for this insightful, riveting conversation about an extremely complicated, nuanced, volatile situation involving the barbaric October 7th attack on Israel by terrorist organization Hamas, the ensuing war, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, hostage negotiations, and the desperate need for peace between Israel and Palestinians. And perhaps even more significantly, Gershon provides honest, balanced historical context for this centuries-old conflict in the region Got somethin' to say?!

On this edition of Parallax Views, political blogger Ettingermentum joins the show to discuss his piece "The President Who Stood Up To Israel and Won". We discuss President George HW Bush's rocky relationship with then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir of the Likud Party, the young Benjamin Netanyahu, Bush-era Secretary of State James Baker, AIPAC (American-Israel Public Affairs Commitee), Bush's "New World Order" and the Middle East, how Bush responded to pro-Israel lobbying that painted him as anti-Israel, why Ettingermentum disagrees with the idea that AIPAC cost Bush re-election, Yitzhak Rabin, unconditional support for Israel vs conditional support, Itamar Ben-Gvir and the Israeli far-right, Obama's relationship with Netanyahu, the Camp David 2000 Summit and Clinton official Robert Malley's account of why it fell apart (he claims it wasn't all on Arafat), the October 7th Hamas attack and the Tet Offensive, Netanyahu vs. Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, the Israeli Right's attacks on Israeli intelligence Shin Bet, Israel's unsustainable status quo, claiming they've "gone woke", Benny Gantz, and the real lesson of Bush's checkmating of AIPAC and Shamir.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Prof. James L. Gelvin, noted scholar of Middle East history at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and author of The Israel-Palestine Conflict: A History, joins the show to discuss the October 7th, 2023 Hamas attack and Israel's retaliatory bombing of Gaza, but also the broader history of the Israel/Palestine issue/situation/question/conflict. The conversation begins with Prof. Gelvin's analysis of the Israel/Palestine issue and its origins which he argues is about clashing nationalisms rather than religious war or a dispute going back to biblical times. From there he gives his insights into conditions on the ground in Gaza, the question of whether or not U.S. foreign polciy has "kicked the can down the road" on pursuing a diplomatic political solution to Israel/Palestine, the one-state solution vs. the two-state solution, the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, the Oslo Accords, the legitimacy of national identities and their mythologies, the increasingly common argument that the PLO's Yasser Arafat is responsible for the current crisis for "walking away" from a "generous offer" at the 2000 Camp David Summit, the motivations of Hamas, Israel-Saudi normalization, the criticisms right-wing figures like David Horowitz have made of Gelvin's scholarship and his response to those criticisms, Obama and the Asia pivot, the West Bank and Israeli settlements, and much, much more.

Speak, even when your voice shakes, and you feel like rage crying. This special episode provides greater historical context to Israel and Palestine, elevates voices on the frontlines of the humanitarian crisis, demands an immediate ceasefire and a united global democratic alliance to end the genocide of Palestinians, and amplifies the calls for a political solution.  The crisis cannot be solved militarily. The bombs raining down on the open air prison of Gaza is a genocide–another Nakba, the Arabic word for “catastrophe”–which in 1948 saw the brutal mass forced displacement of around a million Palestinians with the founding of Israel. We're witnessing the long awaited war by indicted corrupt criminal and Putin ally Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's longest serving prime minister, desperate to cling to power, even if that means turning Israel into another theocratic dictatorship in the region. The racist, genocidal movement that assassinated former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin for signing the Oslo Accords, a path towards peace and potentially a two-state solution, brought Netanyahu to power. And now his government of Stephen Millers is determined to finish off Palestinians, mass-murdering several thousands, including a significant number of children.  Secretary of State Antony Blinken published a call for a ceasefire on Twitter, only to delete it after Republicans protested. That and more of the US response, what it means for the civilians on both sides of the conflict, the US election and more are discussed in this extra furious episode. This week's bonus episode will include answers to questions submitted by listeners subscribed at the Democracy Defender level and higher, and a special on-the-ground look at the upcoming Virginia state elections and the recent voter-purge by Governor Glenn Youngkin.

They're the descendants of refugees who were expelled, or fled in fear, during Israel's war of independence in 1948. They live in what Human Rights Watch has called an “open-air prison,” penned in by an Israeli state that — with help from Egypt — rations everything that goes in and out, from tomatoes to the travel documents children need to get lifesaving medical care. From this overcrowded cage, which the United Nations in 2017 declared “unlivable” for many residents in part because it lacks electricity and clean water, many Palestinians in Gaza can see the land that their parents and grandparents called home, though most may never step foot in it.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/14/opinion/palestinian-ethical-resistance-answers-grief-and-rage.html Netanyahu Is Losing the War at Home Incompetence against Hamas and indifference to Israeli suffering has the public boiling over. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/10/in-the-israel-hamas-war-netanyahu-is-losing-at-home.html The Real Dividing Line in Israel-Palestine https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/israel-palestine-hamas-and-hardliners-against-peace-by-slavoj-zizek-2023-10?barrier=accesspaylog Israel is ordering Gazans to flee south.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Prof. Ian S. Lustick of the University of Pennsylvania and author of Paradigm Lost: From Two-State Solution to One-State Reality joins the show to discuss his Foreign Policy op-ed "Vengeance is Not a Policy". We discuss Gaza as a prison, the need for historical context in discussing unfolding events, the intelligence/military/operational failure of preventing the Oct. 7th attacks, the dangers of irrationality in responding to unfolding events (and the comparisons being made to 9/11 and the chilling effect on speech and dialogue that happened in America during the War on Terror), the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and why events like that need to be discussed in relation to events unfolding today, Benjamin Netanyahu, the West Bank, and much, much more!

1973 October War, 50th anniversary October 6.  October 6, 2023 is the 50th anniversary of the 1973 October War.  This war lasted three long weeks and took the great powers (the US and the USSR) to the brink of  nuclear war.  It also cleared the sinuses, so to speak.   Nixon and Kissinger realized that unless there was progress in working out some kind of resolution of the 1967 war, the US was going to get dragged into a major war.  Let me clarify the term “The Year of Decision.”  My lecture got a bit distracted on that.  In 1972 Sadat spoke to his parliament and said “This is the Year of Decision.”  The Egyptians knew what that meant.  They cheered hysterically.  The Israelis also knew what that meant. They mobilized their reserves and prepared for the attack.  That mobilization cost a lot of money.  But as the joke goes, what if you gave a war and nobody came?  In fact, there was no war in 1972.  Then in 1973, Sadat delivered another speech.  “This is the Year of Decision.”  Again, the Egyptians were hysterical with excitement.  But Golda Meir decided she had been snookered once and would not be snookered a second time.  Alas, for her, this time the war came.  And Israel was not prepared.  This  decision wrecked Golda Meir's credibility.  She was driven from office and replaced by Yitzhak Rabin (who was elected a second time in 1992).   The Israelis still argue over who was responsible for that decision not to mobilize.  Let me also note that the Israelis thought it was a bit of dirty pool that the attack came on Yom Kippur Eve when many  Israeli soldiers had been given home leave.  Of course it also came during Ramadan so it was a religious holiday for both sides.  We Americans also remember that George Washington attacked the British at Trenton on Christmas Eve when he knew the British army would be drunk.  As Harvey unwisely said in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, “there are no rules in a knife fight.” Or a war.  This was a class lecture and there were a few glitches along the way:  paper rattling, the zoom fading.  And also the laptop microphone not as good as the quality one I now hae.  I hope that is not too distracting. 

C'est une poignée de main entrée dans l'histoire : celle échangée le 13 septembre 1993 sur la pelouse de la Maison Blanche à Washington par le Premier ministre israélien Yitzhak Rabin et le leader de l'OLP Yasser Arafat, sous les yeux du président américain Bill Clinton. 9 mois de négociations secrètes en Norvège viennent d'aboutir à la signature, sous l'égide des États-Unis des accords d'Oslo. Le texte définit les premières étapes d'un processus d'autonomie des Palestiniens et d'un retrait progressif de l'armée israélienne des Territoires Palestiniens conquis en 1967, à l'issue de la Guerre des Six jours. Objectif à terme : parvenir à la création d'un État palestinien indépendant, aux côtés de l'État d'Israël…30 ans après, force est de constater que le rêve de paix s'est évanoui. Depuis 1993, le nombre de colons israéliens est passé de 250 000 à 700 000, le Territoire palestinien a été morcelé en confettis, rendant ingouvernable un potentiel État de Palestine, et le cycle de la violence est sans fin : humiliations, expulsions, révolte, répression, attentats, représailles… Avec l'extrême droite au pouvoir en Israël, jamais l'avenir des Palestiniens n'a semblé aussi sombre. Et la question palestinienne ne préoccupe guère les Israéliens qui manifestent, depuis des mois, pour défendre une démocratie menacée.Alors pourquoi les accords d'Oslo ont-ils échoué ? À qui la faute ? La solution à 2 États est-elle morte ? Les Palestiniens vivent-ils sous un régime d'apartheid, comme l'a dénoncé récemment un ancien chef du Mossad israélien ? Pourquoi la communauté internationale est-elle incapable de régler cet interminable conflit israélo-palestinien ? 3 invités : - Stéphanie Latte Abdallah, directrice de recherche au CNRS, politiste et anthropologue, a publié en 2022, aux éditions Karthala, «Des morts en guerre.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is joining the ranks of Benjamin Netanyahu, Nelson Mandela, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Winston Churchill, and Yitzhak Rabin – the only other world leaders to have addressed the US Congress twice. It's part of his state visit to the US, which is being hailed as a major moment for the India-US relationship, with key defense and technology deals expected. Though the relationship is often framed as one between two major democracies, rights groups and activists point out that India under Modi has seen a shrinking space for minorities, civil society, press freedom and dissent. So, what exactly is driving the relationship between the US and India?

There is a direct line from the 1995 murder of Yitzhak Rabin to the ascendance of right wing, ultranationalist extremists in Israel today. The election this past week has me revisiting a question that has haunted me for more than 25 years: did the assassin murder a man or a movement? 

Headlines claim there will be a blood moon on election day. Is this prophetic? The assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. The antisemitic United Nations. Why the massive push for EVs? Control? The real reason behind the global warming/climate change scare tactics? We'll analyze these events and more while taking your calls on this open-line edition of End of the Age
