7/11/24 Ramzy Baroud on the Roots of the West Bank Settlements and the Israeli Military-Politician Divide
Scott interviews Ramzy Baroud about some articles he wrote recently. The first is about the birth of settlements in the West Bank and Gaza. That leads to a broader discussion about the dynamic within the occupied territories. The second article examines the emerging divide between the Israeli military and Israeli politicians, which Baroud believes has roots as old as Israel itself. They finish with a quick look at the horrific humanitarian situation in Gaza.
