The David Hunter Perspective - 2023-12-20

(Due to a mixture of scheduling and technical difficulties, the last show of the year is being posting now)Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.1)Is Israel's Self Defense Force 'Trigger Happy"?: In the past week, IDF forces shot and killed three Israeli hostages trying to surrender to Israel while carrying a white flag; and shot and killed a Christian woman and her mother sheltering in the only Roman Catholic Church in Gaza when they went outside to go to the bathroom. Is this a reflection of IDF troops shooting first, and asking questions later? What is going on?2)Israel Military Attack On Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza City: This past week, Israel's Army launched numerous attacks near and on the Kamal Adwan Hospital. They claim it is being used as a Hamas base of operation. Only five Palestinian doctors remain in the hospital, caring for hundreds of patients. There are about 70 hospital support staff. Israel just announced it captured 70 Hamas fighters and their weapons in the hospital. Does this prove Hamas is using hospitals as operational bases, and that Israel is justified in attacking hospitals?3)Did Palestinians Refuse Offer to Equally Divide The Palestinian Mandate Area With Jews Back in the 1930s?: Some say the Palestinians were offered 50% of Palestine territory as 'their state' back in the 1930s, but they refused. Is that claim true or false? If so, why did they reject the offer?4)Is China Using INTERPOL As Way To Hunt Down Dissidents?: Interpol is an international police cooperation agency, used to hunt criminals and terrorists. It uses a Red Notice system to ask member countries to identify, hold and turn over 'targets' upon request from other members. But China is a state dictatorship. It seems to be using INTERPOL as part of a repressive system of hunting down political dissidents. Is this allowed?Support the show
