/409/ Palestine, Protest, Repression: The Wider Context
Added 2024-05-07 07:01:01 +0000 UTCOn US campus protest, the brutalisation of Gaza, and whether this is an age of war.
Alex, George and Phil debate the matter of the day. We ask:
Is the police repression and associated censorship (the anti-semitism bill) a reflection of the fact the content of the protest unsettles the establishment? Why?
Why is the Left breaking with Biden and the Dems over this and not before?
How do these student protests compare to BLM? And how do they compare to those of the late 60s and Vietnam?
What should those in Western countries do in response to Israel’s war?
Is the Palestinian struggle dead?
What are the risks of regional war? And does Israel's assault on Gaza presage a new era of warfare?
