Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael
Society & Culture
On this edition of Parallax Views, the coverage of the Gaza War and Israel/Palestine continues in this double feature. First up, Prof. Juan Cole, well-known commentator on the Middle East and South Asia from the Informed Comment blog, gives his commentary on conditions in Gaza, anti-Palestinian racism in America, the Palestinian identity, double standards, whether it is actually possible to eradicate Hamas, Netanyahu's "Annihilate Amalek" rhetoric, and why the cycle of violence will continue short of a Palestinian state being recognized.
In the second segment Shireen Hunter, affiliate fellow at the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, joins us to discuss some of the points made in her insightful (some would say prophetic) May 2022 Responsible Statecraft piece "Unresolved Palestinian issue remains a major source of Mideast tension". We will also discuss the need for a peace to be brought about PRIMARILY by a dialogue between Palestinians and Israelis as opposed to Israelis and other Arab States, Iran, Hezbollah, Syria, the "Axis of Resistance", the cost of occupation, the Al-Aqsa mosque and the role of religion in the current iteration of the Israel/Palestine issue, the need to look at the Israel/Palestine issue as one about land/territory rather than metaphysics, the Palestinian identity, and much, much more.
