Entry 9: Israel-Palestine




The show can be downloaded here.





In this episode, I discuss the recent events regarding Israel's Operation Pillar of Defense, bringing up the fact that the violence was started by both sides rather than just by Palestinian militant rocket fire. In addition to this I note that the assassination of Ahmed Jabri was during the time of talks of a permanent truce between Gaza and Israel.

Later in the show, I discuss the effects of the recent UN vote that gave Palestine de facto state recognition.
