Israel Kills HUNDREDS During 'Ceasefire' – with Palestinians Diana Buttu and Abubaker Abed

from Useful Idiots with Katie Halper and Aaron Maté · host Katie Halper and Aaron Maté

Watch the full, unpaywalled interviews with Diana Buttu and Abubaker Abed here:According to western corporate media, the Israel-Hamas ceasefire was firmly in place until the events of this week. Just look at this Guardian article from March 15:It is reported that at least 150 Palestinians were killed during the ceasefire, and that Israel’s continued blockage of humanitarian aid has led to the deaths of many more in that time. Somehow, this still fits into corporate media’s definition of a ceasefire.This week, however, Israel ramped up it’s mass assault on Gaza, wiping out huge areas of people, including hundreds of children. The attack was too deadly even for corporate media to whitewash. So we have shameless headlines like this:To discuss this, we are joined by Haifa-based Palestinian-Canadian human rights lawyer Diana Buttu and Gazan journalist Abubaker Abed. They explain the devastating destruction by Israel this week, why there was never a ceasefire to begin with, how Trump has been pushing forward this violence, and the genocidal flyers that Israel dropped over Gaza.Palestinian voices are nearly completely censored in western media. This episode is free to all so that they can be heard.And stay tuned for this week’s Saturday Shitshow, the weekend edition of Thursday Throwdown.
