Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded September 11th, 2024

 

Eleven months in to Israel's genocide, and every day brings news of atrocities that can mean nothing less than the determination to erase entirely the Palestinian people from their homeland. Watching governments, and the institutions of the West obfuscate and obscure the truth of this disaster - as grotesque as the worst crimes of the last century - while too allowing war profiteers flourish by it, is a new kind of evil; one that damns us all.

Last night, the candidates for the presidency of the United States presented to the People their case for election; but neither Donald Trump, nor Kamala Harris could utter a word of condemnation of what Israel is doing, or provide any promise of bringing this horror to a stop. How could they, when America is the engine driving this Holocaust?

Dimitri Lascaris is a journalist, lawyer, and long-time activist for social justice. He’s been traveling extensively in and reporting from West Asia for several months; most recently in Lebanon. His articles from there, around the region, and from his home base in Greece are available at his site, DimitriLascaris.org, and you can tune in to his interview program, Reason2Resist on Rumble, Youtube, and Twitter.

And; as Gaza suffers bullets and bombs, deprivation and disease, its chief tormentor has turned an eye to the West Bank. Thousands have been rounded up as prisoners already; sent away to the infamous concentration camps, where unspeakable crimes are committed every day - as they have since the beginning - only amplified many hundred-fold times. That method of Israel's genocide, its modus operandi as seen these terrible months in Gaza, is repeating itself now in the rest of the Occupied Territories.

Salam Hamdan is a Palestinian political activist and Social-Feminist. She's been reporting the increasingly desperate situation in her West Bank home for months, where arbitrary arrests and random assassination are the first and favourite tools of the terrorist state.

But first, Dimitri Lascaris and finding reason to resist.
