Oppression as Policy: Israel, Sanctions, and the Global Cost of Control
Manage episode 498316638 series 3230571
In the first part of the program, Dr. Shir Hever joins us to discuss Israel’s disinformation economy, the zombie economy that is held together by nothing more than lies and deception, and how the ongoing genocide in Gaza has made clear that for most Israelis, the need to oppress is greater than the need to make ends meet. Dr. Hever also highlights the journalistic malpractice of Israel’s propaganda machine, the impressive and vital progress of the BDS movement and how politicians are now leveraging Palestine for personal political gain. Next up, Dr. Margaret Flowers comes back on the show to outline the difference between sanctions and unilateral coercive economic measures. We discuss the recent Lancet report showing that US unilateral measures are responsible for more than half a million deaths a year worldwide. Dr. Flowers outlines the shift to a multipolar world, how nations are side-stepping US hegemony and violence, and how we can engage with these interconnected issues.
