Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael
Society & Culture
On this edition of Parallax Views, a double feature on Israel/Palestine, the Israel-Hamas War, the bombardment of Gaza, the Oct. 7th attack, and related subjects.
First up, Israeli hostage negotiator and peace activist Gershon Baskin joins us to discuss his experiences negotiating with Hamas, his harsh criticisms of both Hamas and the Israeli government (especially under Benjamin Netanyahu), what he refers to as the "New Form of Apartheid" in Israel, what it will take to get the hostages back and why that course of action will not be taken, his hopes for a future peace that will allow Palestinians and Israelis to both be offered dignity and a sharing of the land, his recent communications with Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad, and more!
In the second half of the program (timestamp: 44:18), Jason Pack, author of Libya and the Global Enduring Disorder and co-host of the Disorder podcast with Alexandra Hall Hall, joins us to discuss his Foreign Policy piece entitled "Qatar Is the Key to Middle East Peace". Jason argues that a condominium of Arab states led by Qatar are the way forward for stabilizing a postwar Gaza. Qatar, he makes the case, must help take a lead in the administration of a postwar Gaza that will eventually deal with the issue of Palestinian sovereignty. We will also talk about the "global enduring disorder" paradigm for understanding international relations and events.
