As is so evident, Israel has a very special relationship to the US, unparalleled by any other country. We pour more foreign aid to Israel than any other country, largely for weapons built in the US, even though Israelâs largest exports are military and police weapons. They do not lack for money. They have the fifth largest GDP in the world. So why do we give these resources that they really do not need when resources are needed is so many other places? That is the question explored today by one of our favorite speakers, historian and author Walter Hixson. Here he is speaking at a forum sponsored by the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. If your jaw is dropping over Hixsonâs exploration of Israelâs special relationship with the US, you are not the only one. Israel owns the White House and The Congress, and therefore owns us.
This Week In Palestine (a weekly part of Truth and Justice Radio) is an award-winning three-quarter-hour segment of news from Palestine and discussion of issues relevant to the Palestinians' struggle for freedom from Israel's brutal military occupation and colonization of their homeland. It speaks from the point of view of Palestinians and those who care about them. It's a regular part of Truth and Justice Radio, aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, streaming live and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine archives back thru 1-6-2008; editions are also accessible by navigating through our playlists. (At this important time, TJR airs occasional Palestine coverage IN ADDITION to that provided by This Week In Palestine.) We hope you'll write to us at tjradio@fastmail.com if you rebroadcast our work, or have questions or comments.
