Chapter Seven- On The Brink: Of The Whole Story

You can express horror at an atrocious terrorist attack and you can reaffirm Israel’s right to defend itself. You are even allowed to express sorrow that civilians are getting killed in the process. But expressions of support and understanding for the Palestinian people caught up in Israel’s US-supported onslaught of Gaza are met with vitriol. Two guests on this week’s On the Brink are Palestinian sympathizers and they have been called anti-semites, gotten online threats on their person and faced discipline at work for their expression of beliefs. This is a presentation on the whole story of the Middle East conflict — not just the part official America is backing to the hilt.
